Emmett is a true genius <3

emmetts contribution to musicians in the past, now, and in years to come is nothing short of incredible. you may not like his musical style but dont knock his contribution. as a stick player i can tell you that a stick is amazing! About the only thing that is difficult to do on a stick is strum,but there are people who can incorporate strums on a stick. can you strum a piano? yet most will agree that a piano is an incredible instrument. some people have a hard time with new ideas .

@Gregorypeckory Amen from someone who ditched guitar for 6 years to play the Stick. The limited dynamic range grew tiresome.

@jmacaldo83 Or maybe Zack Kim is the wannabe Chapman of the 20-10s

@genanigaurav I'm a fan of both instruments, and a guitarist who has considered switching, but there are many reasons to continue playing guitar. The stick is awesome and Emmett is brilliant, but the stick is not the "future of guitar". As many great advantages as the stick offers in terms of harmonic flexibility and range, the guitar has significant advantages of it's own-not the least of which is a superior dynamic range and variety of techniques to get different timbres.

This guy is the Zack Kim of the 70's!

as a long time intrumentalist, and a new owner of a Grand Stick, i have to say, this is the definite evolution of the stringed instrument. this thing is mind blowing.
