  • It was fun and educational to work on Jeff Beck's amazing style and articulation on the Chapman Stick.
    A quote from Carlos Santana.....
    "Ever since I was a child I've always been very attracted to melodies. Whether I hear Jeff Beck, a choir, an ocean or the wind, there's always a melody in there. Santana"

    Thank God for your Father/Dad & Jeff Beck R.I.P. he will be teaching me for the rest of my life. Not just the playing , but how to truly enjoy a musical composition. Get lost in the sound instead of the trouble going down.

    My father designed and built the 1st stick for Emmett Chapman back in 1969. You'll never find any finer exotic tone woods on the planet. My father had the best stock at all times, along with sufficient elephant ivory for all his nuts and saddles.

    A great piece. I've never seen that many string bends on the Stick before. Loved the unexpected harmonics towards the end. Thank you 🖖

    Robert,
    Your reading of this amazing/my favorite Jeff Beck/Stevie Wonder masterpiece is truly a blessing. It brings on a sense of peace and simultaneous wonderment of your incredible tone. I first witnessed a Chapman Stick in the 80’s at a jazz club in LA and was floored. Your mastery of the instrument and of the tune is would have impressed the late Jeff Beck.
    Thank you for this…

      David, Again I am happy to hear you are enjoying the videos. I hope you are gigging with the Stick a lot these days as you have such a nice repertoire of covers. I decided to play more covers lately because the Stick is still somewhat
      obscure even after 50 years! I do enjoy creating original songs and still will. For now I am focused on getting the Instrument somehow more into the public awareness. Occasionally I play at Pier 39 in SF where there is a lot of tourists. It still amazes me when I ask a group of people, say for example 100 listeners if they have seen the instrument .Perhaps one or 2 hands go up, sometimes just a lot of blank stares. I guess could have played the Doremifa Cats!!
      All The best.........

      @bobculbertson  4 місяці тому +2

      Yes, you are correct. In fact sometimes when I do a music workshop I like to ask the question who wrote Cause we Ended as Lovers. 75% of the people say Jeff Beck. As great as Stevie Wonder was and he was one of the best ever, it is nice to have an instrumental version of a song become somewhat of a hit.

    Whew! What a relief! I just knew a shark was gonna jump outta that water and make you an ex-Stick player. I'm glad you survived. Seriously though, I think I may like this as a solo piece even better than as an ensemble one. I loved Jeff as much as anybody, no disrespect at all. But this really works. Loved it! I'm becoming a fan.

      Thank You for your support. One idea I tell people interested in purchasing the Stick is to find a used one while you wait because you can sell it for what you paid then pass it on. I know there is a short supply and hope somehow this can change.

      @@bobculbertson I bought my first guitar a Yamaha SG 2000 at guitar showcase in 1979, I still have it.. And yes I remember you as a local legend. I had to refresh my brain it has been awhile ! ✌🎸. Grew up with Doug Caldwell and my cousin Tim Alexander who had the first online record label called Quagmire Records started in Los Gatos 1993, his band was a Western Front. There are a lot of videos on UA-cam of Tim Alexander and a Western Front. Before Tim became a recording artist and alternative musician in high school his band would play an entire Yes album, throw in Birds of Fire and always end with Celebrate good times. I remember the Santa Clara County days of the 80's so well.
