Chapman Stick – A Humbling Experience

  • The Chapman Stick

I have had the Stick now for a little over 2 weeks.

It’s humbling to accept that it will take a bit of time before I can feel “capable” 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 plusĀ years playing bass, guitar and keyboards… NOT!

The fascinating thing is that I have to practice with headphones, because my downstairs neighbor hears it coming through the floor. When listening on headphones while you practice is less than forgiving. You hear every little nuance (good or bad) so it takes some getting use to and it males you very aware of your technique.

A most humbling experience!
