Hi Guys,
A few nights ago I hung out with a Busker in Ljubljana-Slovenia. I spent a fair while listening and was just so intriged by his guitar and how he played it! It just totally blew me away! He was playing a 12 string Chapman Stick, A hybrid of a bass and a guitar. Its played in a similar way as a piano, one hand for melodys the other for acompaniment. I found a video of some of his playing whichs shows some interesting ways to play the instrument. His name is Eiiha Levy seems to be somewhat known in the world, he was also a really nice down to earth guy! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jdH9wUFCDfU So im Curious, What does everyone think of the instrument and or his playing? Does anyone own one or played one!?? Any random comments!!! |

It's all legato. If I played this at least I wouldn't get bogged down in atternate picking |
