Stickists and aficionados of the Chapman Stick® .
Emmett
Chapman's unique Free Hands parallel two-handed tapping method
connects the musician more powerfully and more intimately to a
stringed instrument than ever before. With both hands as equal
partners on the fretboard, each hand can play independent lines, or
the two hands can work in concert to form interlaced arrangements. The
Free Hands method enables live execution of complete musical concepts,
from the bass on through chords and melody, to the effects, ambients
and sweeteners, greatly enlarging the musical scope. Welcome and enjoy
the site!
