Kelstone-H.O.T.contest-Stefan Huth

Small Video with Chapman Stick Hands on Top playing on a Keyboard Stand made for Jan van Kelst' s Kelstone Hot Contest. The Chapman Stick was originally Made by Emmet Chapman to play in an upright position like Tony Levin or Bob Culbertson does. Jan Van Kelst developed the hands on top technique where you play on top of the Strings. I also saw many guitar players like Andy McKee, Tommy Emmanuel or stanley jordan or bass players like John Myung or Jean Baudin using the tapping technique on their instruments always grabbing around the neck but the first guy where I saw it with hands on top was a youtube video called "Air Tap" of Erik Mongrain. He did nice stuff especially to get out the harmonics. I like the idea. The tune that I'm playing is a folk tune made by Alexander Meyen (www.violalex.de) that I played with the Loop String Project years ago where we also did a lot of live looping. There is also a video with the band!

Well you certainly make the chapman stick sound pretty cool. What is the song at the end of the credits?

[stickist3798]

@praxiscnc The song at the end is a composition of mine which I played years ago together with the guitarist from my band weygold10!

You'd start to think that with an instrument designed almost exclusively for tapping while lying down, that some degree of piano technique would begin to apply... Right? :-/
