Silent Night in C on The Chapman Stick Easy Improvs

Beginner's exploration of some right hand improvisation using the melody of Silent Night. The Stick is an extremely versatile instrument, and I am enjoying the effort of learning my way round it a bit. In the future I hope to share more difficult, exciting, and'or pleasing efforts with you. But for now, this is where I am at.

forgive me for being a moron, but what instrument is that? It kinda reminds me of a sitar, but i can't figure it out :D Really good job though

The Chapman Stick. You can find many more experienced players of it on Youtube. Just enter its name into the search bars. It's a very enjoyable instrument to learn to play.

Man I'd love to get my hands on one of those. The first time I ever seen one was down at the Santa Monica Promenade in California, a guy was sitting there playing one and making it sound so good, just like this. Thank you for sharing this and the good words on my cover of "Streets of Laredo" - hope the class goes well! I'll be subscribing to your channel along with an invite. Mark

It's a class called "Singing the American Folk Song" and we're just beginning the ballad section of it, so the song fits perfectly. Cheers!
