I've been playing the Chapman Stick since 1980. And I was kind of stuck in a rt, and since there are no lessons available for the stick on the internet I thought I would take guitar lessons I'm transfer the knowledge to the stick. Great idea huh. Unfortunately I got sucked into the guitar and I can't get out. I love the guitar and I am having a hard time transferring back to the call of the stick.
I know sooner or later I will get back but in the meantime my stick technique is getting old and I'm getting rusty, as are the strings. So I'm about ready to transfer and I realize that the stick has two parts. Guitar part oh, and a bass part. That means to really do it right I have to buy a bass and start taking bass lessons.
That would be awesome and teach me some bass riffs and bass techniques. But this brings up the question oh, am I ever going to get back to the stick? If I start studying base am I going to end up with a half a dozen bass guitars? I got to avoid that trap.
Oh yeah this is an introduction oh, my name is tofu. It can be fried tofu, which hasn't happened lately unfortunately oh, it can be stinky tofu which isn't as stinky as it used to be for some reason... that's a real blessing because I'd go by the stinky tofu shop and have to divert my path to give the stinky tofu shop a wide berth. Now I can barely smell it. I think they calmed it down even though everybody liked it except the tourists.
I'm so tempted to just get better at Guitar. We all know that's a lifetime endeavor and I could if I want, never stop. But I love the stick and she's calling me. I can express my emotions on the stick better than I can on the guitar.
Y'all might think this is funny but it's a real dilemma for me. I'm even tempted to buy another stick to motivate myself but I know that's only a temporary solution. Although some of the new sticks are pretty cool. And less expensive than they used to be.
But for now I will continue to focus on guitar oh, and maybe I'll try to get the stick out and slowly wean myself back on to it. I think that's the best option. But my studio so small and I have to set up a bass amp which I was forced to sell. Beautiful acoustic twin 15in. Long story, I can't say a sad story, more of an asshole story.
I love the guitar so for now that's where I'm going to stay. If I can make room in my studio I'll try to get the stick back into my life. She deserves better than to just sit in the Guitar/ photography Room ( even though it's temperature and humidity controlled) .
I still have a suitable bass amp. Peavey KB 100. It's full range amp but bass on the stick is full range... so if I can fit that all in my studio without tripping on myself as possible. But I'm thinking about moving again! I just finished moving what a nightmare. But these rooms are just too small I can't get a good Studio of it.
Anyway my name is tofu oh, we don't need to go through all that again, feel free to write back if you want. I'm not the pretentious Pinhead type. I'd love to hear what people are doing.
Keep playing keep expanding be well be safe。
