damn mf, goddamn
Ron! Bravo! And for BIRDLAND!
why does everyone that plays the chapman stick seem to make almost everything sound like jazz or that fusion sound
why does everyone who has slayer and 66 (and sometimes 666) in their name always complain that the stick sounds like jazz or that fusion sound. why don’t they just check out all stick and other tappers…to find out that not everyone who plays stick sounds like jazz or fusion. and even if it sounds like jazz or fusion, what’s wrong with that, try to give some more respect, i might even try to respect you as well, who knows.
awesome, Ron! Happy Tapping,
greg
thanks for the comment greg!
The Stick doesn’t always have to sound that way, but xxslayer66xx has a point: most Stick players do sound “like jazz or that fusion”.
In guitar, two separate fingers control the dynamics of any note. Stick technique usually employs only one finger.
The one finger technique reduces the gamut of sounds available, but it’s the two-fingered guitar/bass gamut that people are accustomed to hearing and do expect.
Playing both sides through a tweed-style amp rig (Champ, Deluxe, etc) can help.
maybe you got a point, maybe you don’t. i mean, couldn’t it be that stickplayers like that jazz or fusion sound and don’t have the urge to sound that way you are describing? maybe that specific sounds attracts them to the Stick (or any tapping done on whatever stringed instrument)
yes, you’re right on a guitar you can get more variation tonewise since you use 2 hands for 1 tone. but on the stick ( & other tapping instruments) you can play 2 different lines with 2 hands, so it’s a trade-off .
it’s another way of thinking, it’s a whol different concept. but i still like to thank you for your suggestions. take care, Ron Baggerman
fantastic!
Nice touch man. Great feel.
Great Blues sound from the Stick.
Great sound from the mouth.
Alltogether 4.35 minutes of pleasure.
GREETINGZZZ
