  1. Hi, Kevin!
    How about AXON on bass side? It’s very quckly on 6th string (10)

  2. That is such a cool beat in the beginning, is there a name for it?

  3. some1 help my pussy is wet ;]

    i love watching videos on youtube naked! Jm

  4. hey kevin is that a stick-up on that stick ?

  5. This Stick has a Stickup with 2 Roland GK-2 pickups.

    Thanks for watching.

    Kevin

  6. Im very inspired by your playing. I play Bass Guitar and Drums. I listen to all kinds of Jazz, Mainly Fusion. I just bought your band’s cd and its amazing. Im soon going to buy a stick guitar, I was wondering what would be the best model to get im very confused with all the options on the site, thanks

  7. Thanks for checking out video, the compliments on my playing and for supporting my music.

    For a beginning player I recommend a standard 10 string with standard tuning. Woods and inlays are normally a personal preference. As far as pickups or electronics go, its really based on how you plan to use the instrument. I was originally a bassist so I chose electronics to give me strength on the bottom (left hand) with my right hand adding the color.
    Good luck with your playing and thanks again.

  8. men if i had the money i defenetly would buy a stick is my dream, i live in argentina and i have seen G. cides about four times is such an amazing instrument i love it i have your CD’s very good tune, kevin u rock i love your groove, well see u when i have an stick :(

  9. This is just so so good. :)

  10. No disrespect intended at all, you’re fantastic at this, but what’s the point of a stick? Like, it just seems kinda like a piano except in a different style. Again, no disrespect, but that’s just what I was wondering.

  11. what is the name of the first song

  12. This is the coolest thing ever.

  13. Very good question! . You are right about piano concept in some way , but Its more than a piano, because you move in 4 “dimensions” from left to right and up and down the bridge( not like piano just left to right)…… continue

  14. You also got the string touch with all off its expresion and dinamic posibilities, giving, for example, vibrato to an entire chord. And more, you have 2 separate output signals(for each set of srtrings, one tuned in fourth and the other in fifhs) and you can add midi too.
    Hope this coment help to answer your question IOdjimmy.

  15. Yeah, I see what you’re saying about 4 dimensions, I think it kinda limits what you can do on the stick, as supposed to the bass where you can do different styles in a wider variety, I guess it’s kinda hard to compare a bass and a stick, ’cause they’re really different

  16. lol, didn’t even see this message before I wrote the other one.

  17. Actually, I don’t think it limits the stick so much as the opposite. The stick gives you so much range that you can do a variety of basslines, plus chords and melody at the same time. Maybe you can’t do everything on a stick that you could on a bass, but you can do a whole lot more that a bass or a guitar can’t do. In that, sense, you were right when you said its hard to compare

  18. Sunny Came Home!!!!

    AWESOME!!! Please do more, I’m loving this!

  19. What’s the point of a piano?

  20. Great work man! Inverted fifths tuning on the bass side makes my brain hurt though. ;-)

  21. great cover of sunny came home!

  22. My best friends dad has a Chapman Stick! but he doesn’t know how to play it.

  23. XD If he wants to sell it to somebody let me know.

  24. Wow, finally a Stick player who really seems to understand the possibilities of the instrument.

  25. @l0rdjimmy The main difference in techniques between the bass and the stick though aren’t that different. You tap the stick, you can strum it, you can pop and slap it. You can hook effects and petals upto it. I am a bass player. But I think the stick has more to offer then the bass. Just because you can play whole songs, bass and melodic with multiple strings at all times.
