Emmett plays Titanic - two-handed tapping Chapman Stick at Interlochen

[pencert]

Haha he was 73 when this was recorded for christs sake. Maybe when you guys are 73-year-olds, who made a fortune inventing a groundbreaking new instrument (of which there are now real virtuoso players) and still performing at workshops, you won't make any mistakes in your arrangements.

I notice many people listing a great number of mistakes.... I'm noticing these "mistakes" and all I can say is... he probably did most of them on purpose.... Hence "Emmett Chapman playing his arrangement of the theme" in the description....

I can't do better, but I do think this version is a bit sloppy. There are far better videos of Emmett Chapman playing his instrument.

[ConceptOfAHuman]

Is it just me or does Chapman's playing sound sloppy and clipped?

[Bass5el]

@ConceptOfAHuman Can you post a clip of you doing better?

[ConceptOfAHuman]

@Bass5el It's not Titanic, but check my videos.

@ConceptOfAHuman It's just you

[ConceptOfAHuman]

@ZachValkyrie at 6 seconds in the melody, 41 seconds in the bass (one of the notes of the chord didn't come out), 1:10, those triplets are each cut short, 1:31 in the melody, 2:30 buzzed and clipped in the melody. Those are all the mistakes I noticed in one listen-through. Just saying.

Partly excellent technic and playing but then again, Emmett seems to fall off the rhythm and looses control here and there - 3***

[Grozeil]

4:45 that covers every stick techniques of playing...

Mais uma vez Emmett nos mostra que está um passo à frente de muitos! Grande!

So brilliant it hurts
