	American Nerd \| Interview with Emmet Chapman, inventor of the Stick.
		Chapman handmade his early prototypes and the first production line of Chapman Sticks in 1974.
		AM: What is interesting to me is that the Stick is an electric, stringed instrument like a guitar or bass, but it isn't featured very often in popular, or what I am referring to as "mainstream," channels.
		There seems to be a fairly high level of musicianship in the Stick world and I wonder if that is perhaps a reason why it is not always featured in the types of music and types of music presentation that I am referring to.

	Steve Adelson \| About The Stick
		The first prototype called "The Electric Stick" was created in 1970 and was later refined and made available to the public in 1974 as the "Chapman Stick".
		In simple terms the Chapman Stick is a long guitar-like fingerboard that accommodates 10 strings (or 12 strings for the new Grand Stick) across 25 frets, with a stereo pickup near the base and tuning pegs at the top.
		Standard Stick tuning has the melody strings in 4ths (F#BEAD lowest to highest) and the bass in 5ths (CGDAE-the low C string as the 6th string and ascending to the tenth string.

		He knew nothing about Stick but was such a tremendous musician that he taught me to look at the instrument differently-dysfunctional chording, working a melody through serial chords, phasing, subtle but powerful bass movement.
		The Stick is a beautiful yet very jealous instrument and requires a lot of time since the technical requirements are high, especially as you start.
		Going to Stick seminars is very helpful but remember, they are not the basis from which to learn your music, more to learn about the instrument and share ideas.

	The Cipher for Chapman StickStick® and other tapping fretboard instruments_@TheCipher.com
		The 8 string Sticks are more like guitar’s or basses with a few extra lower bass strings added, but they’re still tuned to 4ths (like bass or guitar).
		This Cipher for Stick section essentially duplicates the all of the fretboard related material in Core Cipher Components — Group Two (fretboard components) section, with all drawings being appropriate to the 10 string Stick fretboard.
		There would be just too many drawings required to adequately cover 8, 10, and 12 string Sticks, in two tunings each, plus the exponential increase in necessary pattern study due to the mixing of 4ths and 5ths tunings within a single instrument.

	Mel Bay's Guitar Sessions® Webzine \| An Interview with Emmett Chapman, Inventor of the Chapman Stick \| December 2005
		My first Stick instruments were all in "standard" tuning (now referred to as "classic" tuning), the lowest interior string on the bass side being an open C below low bass E. The high melody string reached an Eb at the highest pitched fret, embracing a total range of 5 1/4 octaves.
		People who encounter a Stick player usually love the innate sound of the instrument and playing method (which in itself produces a unique and articulate tone), and they usually have a lively interest in the novel way of playing on strings (the visual complement to the sound).
		Stick models gradually became fully adjustable and universal to accommodate all custom tunings, any gauge string fitting at any position.

		Fue popularizado por el bajista Tony Levin en sus apariciones con King Crimson y Peter Gabriel, que encontró en el Stick un nuevo concepto para expresarse más allá de la novedad de su técnica.

	Chapman Stick
		The Stick was invented in the late '60s by Emmet Chapman, a guitarist who developed a unique 'tapping' method of playing guitar - by 'drumming' on the strings on the neck of the guitar with his fingertips, he found could play melodies and chords.
		Chapman developed his own 9-string guitar which, in turn, evolved into the Chapman Stick we know today.
		The Stick appears to use various tunings for the strings and isn't subject to an absolute tuning reference such as you find on most other stringed instruments.

	Chris Crain, Chapman Stick Soloist
		Dual amplification or PA systems may be more appropriate for those interested in a bigger or beefier sound.
		I would also like to suggest the use of separate guitar and bass amplifiers for those desiring a more “guitar-like” sound from the melody side of their Stick.
		In my early years of Stick playing, I used a 2-channel Peavey bass amp with 4x10 speaker cabinets.

	FAQ / Links \| Jimmy Nobody \| Jim Kam
		Yet all the elements that make the Stick (and the technique used to play it) the most playable and popular tapped string instrument available anywhere were pioneered by Chapman.
		The problem was that I never understood the thing, so it did not make sense to me. All it took was a weekend seminar with Stick master teacher and player Greg Howard for the "lights" to suddenly come on.
		With an instrument like the Stick, there aren't that many serious players so we tend to meet and correspond with each other.

		I only WISH I could compose and play something this AMAZING!...I took piano for 11 years and have been playing bass for 3...but a Chapman Stick is all I need.
		To date, my exposure to the Chapman Stick was limited to an artist by the name of Tony Levin, who was touring with Peter Gabriel at the time.
		It's very difficult to say how hard it would be for someone to learn Stick since there are so many factors involved but I think if you have a passion and motivation for what you want to accomplish you'll get there.
