  • Greg Howard offers his take on how the inverted 5ths tuning makes it possible to play bass and rhythm parts all at once with one hand, through easy-to-form chord shapes and natural hand and arm movement.
    The instrument used in the video is a Baritone Melody 36" scale 10-string Chapman Stick with the standard Stickup stereo pickup module. It was recorded direct through a StepABout preamp.
    For more information about all of the recommended Stick tunings, including mirrored 4ths (as used by Rob Martino), see:

    @WyattTheGuitarist There are upsides and downsides to any tuning. If you don't care about playing any chords at all with your left hand, just bass parts, then 4ths in the left hand makes the most sense. If you have 5 accompaniment strings to work with, as on a 10-string Stick, then inverted 5ths gives you the most range and the most possibilities for accompaniment parts on a single group of strings, you can be the bass and rhythm guitar player with just one hand. Thanks for watching

    Excellent presentation. I like overhead shots. I may use some of that idea myself. Also, thanks for the 240p vs 480p explanation on the phone. I will upload larger formats in the future.
    Cheers, Bob

    @tubulartom Hi Tommy, it's36"-scale laminated rosewood with Rails and the standard Stickup pickup. The tuning is the Baritone Melody tuning. Thanks for the interest. Happy Tapping, Greg

    @wukeduo Thanks, Ricardo. Give yourself some time. I was the lead singer in the first band I ever played Stick in, and I'm nowhere near the singer you are (which is why I let me audience of the hook and went instrumental)
    Happy Tapping,
    Greg

    Hey Greg, thanks for this video. Very clear, very simple, a good material for pedagogy. And the camera for the player's perspective is a super idea.
    A bientôt

    @tubulartom Thanks Tommy,
    That would be "Here, There and Everywhere" a Beatles tune that I released on a CD called "Shapes" (now out of print) as a duet with drums. I suppose I should add the song titles as annotations to the video. Thanks for asking,
    Greg

    @superbassguitarboy This is the most basic model, a 10-string with the stock Stickup pickup. around $2,000.
    There are other models, 8, 10 and 12 strings and with more expensive pickups as well. Pricing info is at the Stick website shown in the description of the video.
    Happy Tapping!
