First time EVER playing a Stick and encountering Inverted 5th's tuning...!
Well, this is what I have after day 1, there's lots to think about and my brain has already exploded multiple times but there is some progress! I enjoy a challenge.
Cheers, see you in the shed.

Re: My first ever Chapman Stick
Thanks guys for your replies! I'm currently trying to get two handed tapping business going...it's proving quite hard! I'm working through the Free Hands book by Emmet and have some basic chords down...
The strings tuned in 4th's are no problem, it's just the bass strings in 5th's that's quite alien at the moment! I'm used to 4, 5, even 8 strings basses but 2(!!) that's just odd...! It's good fun though...it's keeping my busy, especially when gigs are on a dry period!
Hopefully I'll get something on my soundcloud soon...!
I'm curious, what other instruments have you played? You definitely have tapping under your belt.
At first, I thought that your strings were on backwards, until I noticed that the writing on your shirt was reverse also. You definitely have skills. I'd love to hear more.
