Chapman Stick videos

I play the Chapman Stick, a tapping instrument which combines elements of bass, guitar and piano. Official info about the instrument can be found at stick.com

I'm in the process of working on higher quality recordings for download and an eventual CD, keep an eye on my MySpace/Facebook pages for news, or sign up for a newsletter here:

http://robmartino.com

You can also find information on my gigs there.

These videos are a bit on the rough side, just tunes I wanted to put out there and get feedback on. I'm playing live a lot more these days and it helps to get everything polished up!

Label Type: Unsigned
Influences: Jethro Tull, Rush, Marillion, Genesis, Pink Floyd
Sounds Like: mix of folk, acoustic, rock, progressive
Hometown: Fredericksburg, VA
Country: United States

	bioarsonist (1 month ago) one question...im a bassist, and is it difficult to learn the chapman stick? i've been thinking about getting one and use it as a secondary instrument, but im not sure if its that much different compared to a bass.
