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>

Up north this is a small practice and compose set up.
I am adding my M-Audio to my laptop and trying that out.
Steve Adelson&#8217;s DVD is a must to better understanding the stick. (plus he&#8217;s an amazing player!)
Some music on the next post.

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.

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:

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 is always a challenge when learning the chapman stick, to find material you can use to practice.
I have found that by going to different music sites I can get a few riffs or musical tips.
Griff Hamlin has a great site. Now when you get there sign up for his newsletter and you will get [...]]]></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!
