The Carlton Music Bar & Grill – Brian Bourne on Chapman Stick,
Brian Bourne on electric bass and Chapman Stick
…………………………………………………………………….
the revolutionary two-handed tapping method of parallel hands discovered by Emmett Chapman on guitar in 1969 and taught since then to players around the world.
With Emmett’s Free Hands method, both of your hands are equal partners. As they approach the fretboard from opposite sides, your fingers line up parallel to the frets and a powerful new musical language emerges – bass lines, lead melodies, chords, and rhythm, simultaneously, and in any combination you desire.
Today thousands of musicians are making their own music with our Stick, Grand Stick, Stick Bass and NS/Stick fretboard tapping instruments. Emmett continues to expand on his original concepts by adding to the variety of Stick models, features and tunings – defining the state of the art in tapping instruments.
The Stick comes from the guitar and bass, but its playing method shares roots with keyboards and drums as well, placing all of these musical voices in the hands of one musician. The Stick is unique, expansive, versatile, like each of its players. It is a blank slate upon which to “tap your potential.”
