In Jamaica on a weeks vacation. No chapman stick with me. I just have my laptop and IPod.
So I have been collecting some song lyric ideas, building some drum tracks to build on and listening to my personal Stick jams from the last few months.
Some audio coming&#8230;

In October 2010 I discovered the Chapmam stick.
Have you ever been a frustrated (instrument of your choice) player?
You know I was a frustrated lead guitar and piano player. I knew the theory, and I could compose musical pieces. (Notice I said pieces and not songs).
Playing bass came easy because I always had rhythm and I [...]]]></description>

It was a fantastic experience.
Some take aways from the event:

Have the courage to make mistakes
Not everyone has the same technique
Listen to everyone to gain wisdom and insights
Think, play and listen


Thanks to everyone who participated. Especially Steve Adelson, Greg Howard and the organizer/host Brett Bottomsley.

It&#8217;s always a plus to get some playing instructions from a pro. This weekend I am fortunate to be getting Chapman Stick tips and techniques from a few &#8220;Stick&#8221; masters.
Steve Adelson and Greg Howard are sharing some of their methods to a group of us at the Outer Space in Hamden, CT.
The Chapman Stick is [...]]]></description>

I finally broke the ice on April 21, 2011.

Did 2 songs on my own with the support of Florean the Harp player (harmonica).
We did a version of &#8220;Low Spark of High Heeled Boys&#8221; and an original of mine called &#8220;What&#8217;s the Truth&#8221;.
Lessons learned:
1) Practice the tunes through an amp in a rehearsal room. Practicing in [...]]]></description>

Ok!
Tried the stick at a rehearsal. Not what I expected.
Here is a list of discoveries&#8230;
Know your amp &#8211; At the rehearsal I normally use an amp that is there. However&#8230; SURPRISE! When I got there the usual amp was gone and the amp available was awful. Lot&#8217;s of bottom but no highs. The stick just [...]]]></description>

It&#8217;s a new year and it&#8217;s time to apply a new approach

When I first started playing in the 60&#8217;s and 70&#8217;s, I practiced about 2 to 4 hours a day, on my own.

And with a band, I practiced 3 to 4 times a week.

So this year it&#8217;s going to be once a day&#8230; every day!

I have had the Stick now for a little over 2 weeks.
It&#8217;s humbling to accept that it will take a bit of time before I can feel &#8220;capable&#8221; to play it solo for anyone. When examining it online and listening to others play the stick, I thought it would be easy because of my 30 [...]]]></description>

On October 5 my Chapman stick arrived. I have to admit that although I have played Bass for over 30 years, I am a bit nervous at how easily I will be able to pick this up.
My musical journey on this instrument is exciting and mysterious. How will this instrument in my hands respond to [...]]]></description>
