Rob Martino - Noodle Soup (Chapman Stick)

Hear and download my debut album One Cloud:
http://robmartino.bandcamp.com

Here is an early attempt at a piece I called "Noodle Soup", which was composed one day while "noodling" over a chord progression involving a "soupy" synth-like sound. It went on to become part of a larger composition called "The Long Circle" on my One Cloud album.

cool!! i am playing the e.bass and want to buy one of these things but i am not really soon if i can reach a satisfying level soon... can some1 tell me by their own experience if they had problems adapting their skill ?

[rpmartino]

@aproksenos if you start by using the Stick in a bass role it's not as difficult and many concepts can translate, and models like the NS/Stick and Stick Bass (8 strings tuned in 4ths like a regular bass) are well suited to that. For solo music it's more of a learning curve and mentally like playing piano (two hand independence is the biggest challenge, but certainly achievable with practice).

I've been wanting a Stick for several years now, and you've just re-confirmed that want. They're amazing, and I'm broke.

Wow - they actually let your mother give birth to you, you jealous fool. Now that's tragic

[Mancubus1970]

I like it. You have a talent for sure. Relaxing cool sounds.

[bonkersbananas2010]

I've been checking out videos of people playing the Chapman stick and all I can say is...I wanna learn how to do that!!!

Another poster said it for another vid, but your playing would complement

some Floyd / gilmour songs very well.

Your own compositions are very pleasant to listen to. Your hands are a joy

to watch!
