Lovely Chapman Stick Playing from our very own Stickman

I love this! It's really musical, I find most good Stick players' approaches to be more musical than most of the ERB players I've heard. The band sounds great and I'll buy this album. Great stuff, Steve!

I'll admit I am not a fan of the 'I WILL KILL YOU'voice, but he sings nicely in the other parts.

Love the music though.

Holy moly! Great stick playing :) You can't beat really good stick playing. Too many players put way too much effects on theirs and it turns into mush.

This track reminds me of a cross between Trey Gunn, Steve Vai and Laundry (a Tim Alexander project).

In fact Laundry did release their album Blacktongue as a free download, but I now can't find it. There's some good stick playing on that album :)

I need to go to bed!! But I can't stop watching this bloody video :D

There are some serious magic moments on this, it's really inspiring me!

I can't remember music like this thrilling me for a long time, one or two numbers by sikth perhaps.

Great playing, great music..you got a new fan. I'm going off to find more on YT as your website is not ready. Thanks for posting this Silddix.

Steve (stickman), being the hugely talented but very modest person he is, posted it in the little-read Stick thread in response to me asking to see it when it was ready. Silly sausage :) I just had to share it here.

Cool, I don't mind comparisons like that! Laundry is a name I haven't heard in years - I've got an album of theirs somewhere but I haven't listened to it in a long while, I'll have to go back to it now!

For those interested here's a promo video of the rest of the album, the above track is the only one I play Stick on - the rest is on fretless bass:

Um, I'd also posted it in the Recording and Show Us Your Playing Videos threads so maybe not that modest! :ph34r: This one seems to be getting the most response so cheers Nige ;)

[quote name='stingrayPete1977' timestamp='1341577727' post='1721195'] Absolutley baffled by it but it's awesome all the same! :) I dont need the extra notes and all my favourite bands play P basses anyway etc etc :lol: [/quote]

Ha, thanks! I remember being so reluctant to get a 5-string bass - I was perfectly happy with the constraints of 4-strings so I'm not sure how the leap to 10 happened!

Got the album on Friday.

I love it! Not that much 'I WILL KILL YOU!' voice either :D

It's a superb album, there are some truly lush melodies and chord sequences, wickid riffs, world class playing and writing all round.

I played it to a friend last night, he made me keep playing it, he got serious thrills from it :D

Top work, Steve, I truly hope the band gets the recognition and success it deserves.

Cheers!

I've been listening to this album a lot today, and had it in headphones while I was cooking dinner. Let me tell you, it's a f***ing great album for chopping veg and pan frying to :D

EDIT: and I spoke to my mate who I played it to last night, he's buying :)
