This is not only amazing to watch but also to listen to Rob!

[rpmartino]

@guitarrx3girl thanks Emily!

[T3DSK1]

Really like what you do Rob especially the Jethro Tull songs as they are one of my favorite bands from my youth. I struggle to get a noise out of a guitar I watch your videos with awe keep up the great work. Thanks and regards......... Ted

The artist is reflected in the artwork (look closely).

[Hopkins1148]

Thank you my friend.

[Hopkins1148]

Rob. Where can I get one of these instruments?

[rpmartino]

@Hopkins1148 new instruments are available from the manufacturer - stick.com - and used ones pop up on the stickist.com forum fairly regularly.

[Andragon90]

Rob how do you wear the Chapman? Is it around the neck? And how long did it take you to get used to the posture?

[rpmartino]

@Andragon90 there is a hook that attaches to a belt and a strap that goes underneath the shoulder. At this point I find it the best system for tapping, centering the instrument and tilting the neck back and into view. In my experience, a more traditional guitar strap approach usually results in the headstock moving around too much and the fretboard too far out in front of you. I don't think the posture takes a lot of time to get used to although it certainly feels different than guitar.

[Andragon90]

@rpmartino Appreciate it. Will be trying one out soon. Great music, my man.

[GabrielePala]

wonderful music!! my fave together with one cloud!!

[AthHendrix]

inspired dude!



[reeread]

Very Nice! I always love to check out your new productions. Keep it up!

[sylvainches]

ta musique m'appaise...Merci pour ces grands moments de bonheur, s'il te plait, continues...

[GregGirardin]

You'll soon be known as the Stick's "The Edge" with tasty use of harmonics like that! Nice work.

[RoryLangevin]

Well played ... \m/

[faunflynn]

This is so cool.



[Zander4724]

sounds lovely, rob!

[moonyfingers]

Love that album. The whole one. Keep on

[SerraFlame]

Are you ever going to do anything with some of your old recordings? I would love to see some re-workings of them on another album. Particularly Mighty Wren and Differential, which I repeatedly listen to.

[BrighamHB]

Great job as usual. Good to hear some new stuff from you

[coryskawaffle]

You've improved--from fantastic to virtuoso. Nicely done.

[Tmpp88]

Your songs are so gentle and powerful and they sound so... "complete". For a solo instrument that's remarkable, even if it does have at least twice as many strings as the usual suspects ;P

[mangetuffa]

Thx for the video Rob, Youre record is still going strong in my car :) Cant wait for a new one.

Cheers from Sweden!

[FredtheShred]

Great stuff, as always! :)

[StupidHatMatt]

Sounds awesome man!

[leftpassenger]

Loved the part that sounded a bit like a reference to One Cloud, nice work :-)

[ColeCobalt]

Awesome song Rob, Great sound and the way it flows is amazing. That 12 string of yours does more each time.

[nikitofin]

hey rob! amazing job ! cheers from argentina
