  1. Ugh…. I cant rub my stomach and tap my head at the same time, but i have always loved the thought of playing either a chapman or a warr guitar. they just seem like so much fun.

  2. Make an electric version with distortion and I’ll buy it ;D

  3. …It is electric…and you can use distortion…go buy it ;D

  4. wow I didn’t even watch the whole video.. whoopsie, too boring :P

  5. i love his tone for the little solo at the end

  6. what’s the song at 0:55?????

  7. it’s called Sangre de Cristo, off the 1997 album called Sol, which was a spanish influenced album.

  8. I like the first example, sounds upbeat and fun.
    Anyone know the name of that first song?

  9. OMG!!
    that’s incredibly awesome!..what a guy who invented this!…I only knew about this instrument from whats his name…the WONDERFUL Tony Levin!

  10. Great!
    More great innovation at RHYTHMTANDEM.

  11. he reminds me of dante from clerks

  12. Man I remember seeing Tony Levin in 83 with King Crimson, guys are awsome, now this guy is fantastic. My other favorite Bass player is Percy Jones, look him up man, he is fantastic!

  13. WOW! Thats all I can say butt!
    Wow bloody Wow!

  14. Yeah I know. Maybe he too wasn’t supposed to be there that day.

  15. gooooood but actually very expensive..
    it cost abou 2000euros :/

  16. Yeah i know, seems a bit overpriced, are there any cheaper alternatives?

  17. Reminds me somewhat of Kaki Kings guitar playing style.

  18. I love how versatile this instrument is! Everything from jazz to rock…

    For those of you interested, you should check out Kevin Kieth, he’s an amazing bassist who is also a great stick player

  19. yeah its called a guitar :P

  20. You can have a similar tapping instrument made by Krappy Guitars for about $700

  21. hey hey the first song he plays… is that a real song or just a demostration for this video because I love it!!

  22. It’s called “Charmed Life”.

  23. *ZING!*

  24. megatars are cheaper, and IMHO they sound better, especially if youre a bass guitar convert.and mobius has a really sweet layaway plan as an alternative to cash/credit etc.

  25. Great info! I think all questions popping up during the last days one way or the other got solved by watching this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    well, one qurstion remains … how do I finance this adventure hahaha?
