Stick Tune - Here Comes The Sun
Yeah, I'm in "real Stickist's" territory here, but I thought I'd finish up tonight's practice with a small chunk of reading/improv arranging on the fly... Hopefully nobody's too choked that I am massacring their favourite song or anything... I'm working on getting some subdivision in the LH, while carrying on a 'thing' in the RH, as well as some harmonization, and percussive noises to help keep time. It was fun, didn't take to long to slam together, either... Enjoy! Happy Friday, guys! https://soundcloud.com/jayesskerr/stick-here-comes-the-sun

Re: Stick Tune - Here Comes The Sun
Hi Jaye.
Sounds like you've got your own kinda motor thing happening there at the beginning.
Noice.

Noice. I wouldn’t know, I don’t do “motors”. I try to come up with something that I need to work on that hopefully is distinct from whatever it is that other Stick players are doing while sounding cool... At the same time, I try to make it something that tries to transcend having the LH become a mindless automaton; I feel like both hands should get to do interesting things, so that’s what I’m working towards. But yes, I’d say that for the most part it’s “my own thing”, but I do try to stay true to the spirit and harmonic structure of the tune/riff while improvising a bit within said framework. Sometimes it works better than others. Thanks for taking a listen!

Re: Stick Tune - Here Comes The Sun
Please do a video of your "slam together". That was one of the most amazing hand independence sequences I have ever heard and I want to see how you did it, please ... jRj *j* .~

Re: Stick Tune - Here Comes The Sun
I love this tune. One of these days I’ll have to post my version. It’s ready just haven’t had time to record it. Nice work as always Scott

Re: Stick Tune - Here Comes The Sun
Sounds like three hands in there Scott, particularly at the 13-15 second mark. Pretty cool man.
cheers, kev

I know what you mean. I probably use the word motor in a very loose way. Finding your own gate if you like. I suppose that 's a large part of what defines us as stickists, how much LH, how much RH , when to throw it back and forth , etc. You've obviously thought about it and know where you want to go.

Yep, I've known what I wanted to do with this instrument from day one. The challenge has been trying to achieve it. I am the sort of person who likes to get stuff done, Y'know - give me something to practice or learn and I will learn it. I have to be able to see some sort of rhyme or reason for it, some useful benefit that I can use to my own ends without sounding completely like I totally ripped someone off haha Some folks will dig what I do, others will hate it. I have a long ways to go, but I am getting there, and I feel like every day teaches me some new thing with the Stick. It's really fun. I'd really like to get people from Stickist doing more collaborative stuff - original works ... (hint hint) I will play with anyone, just saying...
