The Chapman Stick (the instrument in the video) was designed specifically for tapping by Emmet Chapman, a jazz guitarist who invented the technique about 10 years before Eddie Van Halen added distortion and brought it to rock music.Hornbein said:And how does this man get such a good sound out of this thing? Tapping generally sounds out of tune and weak, which is why I don't do it. Rock guitarists cover up the natural tapping sound with distortion. Cheaters.
I meant that most Chapman Stick players get a tone which is to me displeasing. What is that man doing that's different? A very delicate touch? Better damping?pbuk said:The Chapman Stick (the instrument in the video) was designed specifically for tapping by Emmet Chapman, a jazz guitarist who invented the technique about 10 years before Eddie Van Halen added distortion and brought it to rock music.

When I saw the capo I thought she might sing!

Here's another good one. These men have mastered the falsetto. Also you can see the damper that the bass player uses. Fender basses all used to come with a foam rubber damper in the bridge cover to get a more of a string bass style of attack. In the 1960's bass players almost all removed the bridge and pickup covers and threw them away so eventually Fender gave up and stopped supplying them. Nowadays some damp with their palm, but that's too uncomfortable for me.
Rickenbacker basses have or maybe had a hinged damper that can be enabled and disabled, but I've never heard anyone use them except maybe Paul McCartney. Everybody else wants to be Chris Squire.
Here's another good one. That guitar part sounds a lot better on the real thing.
