P.S. 12 people are suffering with Stick envy.

[4thel0ve]

I had to sign in, just so I could like & fav this.

Never heard of the Chapman Stick before, so not only did I learn something new, I was intrigued by the mastery of your musicianship.

. .

You, sir, Rule.

[ernietollar]

great!

[Shaggy66D]

Amazing. Thats all I can say to describe this.

[elcuernito1]

I'll love to hear something from Pink Floyd Thank god for my ears

[magicdaveable]

Had to immediately hit replay..... then I hit it a few more times. WOW! Beautiful tune.

[bonnybayboyo]

I have not so much enjoyed an instrumental piece in the Andalusian style since first hearing Ravel's Bolero. Thank you. .

[CircuitLurker]

Bob, I've watched a ton of your videos here, and I've got to say that this is my favorite, by far. Your note choice is impeccable, and your technique just keeps getting more impressive. This one really made me smile! Thank you so much for sharing.

[kevamoe]

I live in LA... when's your next show in the area? I definitely want to be there!

[nodnarb4166]

I don't think I blinked during the whole video. I couldn't look away or stop smiling. Simply amazing.

[bsdnode]

This went straight through my heart. Incredible. thank you.

[magma5555]

I think about playing the lead parts alone myself and some of those runs i dont know about myself! haha, but bass too.. how long you been playing stick?? i must say tho, after watching all your vids, its amazing, skill and emotion. the emotion adds alot! i might have to think up some challenging songs you could cover posssibly eh? :-)

[bosatsu76]

oh... My... God.... Bob.......!!! I have never heard anything like that in my life. Now that my jaw is off the floor and back in place, I am forwarding this to my friends. And then I'll listen to it again....

[SixStringDeity]

[MrBloodshredd]

Very Cool!

[hedefter]

[omelyfasol]

Amazing !

[QueridaSandra]

WOW! This is without doubt a most incredible musician who should be seen world-wide

[nweenink]

I like the close ups very much! You can see that the fingerboard is played very, very, very often! Very vintage! Moreover, I love the music! Thumbs up for Bob!

[ryedeer]

Thank you for sharing another great performance!

However, let me say a word about the tags in Russian. They seem to be auto-translated, and they are, er... a bit incorrect. I would recommend replacing these to "классическая гитара" "12 струн" "тэппинг".

[bobculbertson]

@ryedeer Thank you for the advice. I will use it. I use internet translation and then translate back on another engine to check it, but sometimes even that is not the best. It is best to get suggestions form people who either are native or speak the language fluently. Any other ideas are welcome. I love to bring the Stick and my music to other cultures. New ears are always appreciated.

[ryedeer]

@bobculbertson Russian is my native language :) I can suggest the following general set of tags for your Stick videos: "тэппинг" "стик" "12 струн" "гитара" (that is, "tapping" "stick" "12 strings" "guitar"). If you would like to add some other keywords, I can translate them for you.

Also, for your lesson videos, you can use tags "уроки" "обучение" (that is, "lessons" "learning"). And thank you for your lessons, they are very helpful!

[craftsmank]

Wow, you enjoy playing so much, nothing to prove, it comes across. Pure delight.

Thanks.

[atch1951]

Wow! Bob, this is about the prettiest melody I've heard in years. And the self-accompaniment in real time is fascinating to watch as well as hear. Great Work!

[padawansound]

bravo..encore...



[blacksheep806]

haha awesome :D!

[jaapdesticker]

Awesome! Beautiful sound, great arrangement, great technique, great music :-) I need to practise... a lot!

[chiranjeeb1986]

wonderful.... 

[Yescamescaline]

This really has a strong spanish sound. Definitely a minor feel there. I really like the bass/treble interplay and melody, good composition!

[GabrielePala]

what a master!!!

[bodhii71]

Lovely

[ebrann]

Once again Bob you go above and beyond. Is there a new CD coming out or are you just gracing us with this incredible stuff? Either way keep it up please.

[bobculbertson]

@ebrann

I have a couple CDs coming out this year, I hope!. This song will not be on the next CD but It will be in the future.

Thanks for the support.

[deathmetalterrorist]

Hey Bob, do you think you can cover some videogame music such as Super Mario or The Legend of Zelda? I think that would be really cool. :)

[bobculbertson]

@deathmetalterrorist

I am not sure if will record mario there are a lot of those, but I am considering movie sound tracks. We will see. Thanks for the ideas and interest!

[jersypourboy]

[gibbs75]
