If you want political then post a video that shows something that is obviously interdependence and call it independence.

Circus jokes:

How you elephants talk to each other? - On the elephone.

How do you get down off an elephant? - You don't. You get down off a duck.

What time is it when you find an elephant in your car? - Time to get a new car.

What game do you NOT want to play with an elephant? - Squash

All those things are easier to combine,weave together and especially syncopate when mastered separately first. That's been my experience in my short career as a Stickster.

True Stickness right there.



Yep, I think the evolution of Stick will reveal more and more development here as players get better at this. It's still a personal choice how far one takes this, I also feel that different Stickists have different aims and needs.



Sorry K Rex, we win the crown for most politically bizarre this week with our very own Tony Abbott bringing on the wrath of the Russian navy down to the G20. He should get a medal for incompetence.



It's curious isn't Captain, that there is firstly the motor learning of say a chord progression then a really good melody and then after that the cross fading of RH - LH into some sort of cohesive playing style. My current feeling about it is that there are lots of good things in the cross fading, sometimes playing through the "mistakes" will lead to good material. Then sometimes I'll stay in the cup de sac of a good turnaround and flesh out really good chords and try to remember what they are. Sibelius helps here, but you still gotta name it, remember it and play it.

Most of all I'm enjoying the process of putting it together.

Luv and Sticky stuff.

Right On, Jaye.

I am having an issue.... I can chew gum without Tapping? what to do?

The Stick is a friggen' orchestra. It's the 64 count box of crayons.
Instead of limiting the player/instrument relationship, I advocate exploration as much as possible. It's a big canvas. So much gratification and satisfaction kmowing anything and everything is possible from one chord vamps to orchestral versions of I Am The Walrus.
Learn and play.....with enthusiasm

I believe it was Bill T Miller who had a track on the first Tappistry compilation called "an orchestra on a 2x4"

Indeed. Truth in advertising
