| Steve, you're gonna dig the prog lenses. It takes a bit of getting used to though. My eye doctor confirms that I've lost a bit of the near vision since my last exam 2 years ago, but not alarmingly so. Just getting older. Had a nice conversation explaining what a Chapman Stick is. Turns out, my doct... |

| Wow, Kev, Captain, Greg, you guys all had great points to consider. I appreciate the encouragement on blazing my own trail, and also, the knocks on the head to say hey, dude, give it a shot the right way before you start off on a tangent. Kev: I need to get prog lenses and some new glasses. Steve's ... |

| I’d like to talk about playing the Chapman Stick horizontally, versus the “traditional” vertical style. First off, I mean absolutely no disrespect. Many of you have been playing Stick for decades and have taught and made videos and have spent years researching and perfecting your technique. I’ve onl... |

| Kev, That was very well done, a very nice arrangement that sounded excellent on the Stick. I also like the effects--a very nice tone for the Soundgarden feel, but still Sticky. If that's an adjective. (What's brown and sticky? A stick.) You were complaining that you had a limited repertoire. That wa... |

| I play on the X fret all the time. If you don't have much play there, it could be that the truss is just a tiny bit too tight. It could also be that the nut is set too low. The nut needs to be low enough that the damper works but not much lower than that. Welcome to the instrument of a lifetime. Th... |
