Post Re: Stick #2313
Thanks for the warm welcome everyone.

I'm still getting used to not tying up one hand for plucking or bowing, but I'm having a great time doing it.

The fingers are starting to remember where to go and I'm getting a feel for how much force to use when I tap a note.

I can't remember where I read this, but I think it may have been in Greg Howard's "The Stick Book". There was a reference to both hands being equal in playing a stick. I found this to be startling because about 15 years ago while taking "Applied Piano" in college, I still carried a sort of lifelong preconception that the left hand was only good for keeping up a bass line - the right hand was the star.

My short exposure thus far to The Stick, has proven how wrong I was about my approach to piano!

Anyway, I must go back to The Stick. It's calling me.

Oh! Does anyone know where I can find the tablature/standard notation to Robert Culbertson's arrangement of "The Star of The County Down" ? I'm not looking for the complex arrangement, just the simple one.

Thanks again!

Garry
