i'm loving this tutorials, i just started learning the chapman stick a couple of months ago, go you have any advice in regards on how to posture and the arm position, i feel a little bit of tension on my left hand, so i'm wondering if there is something i can do. Also I would really love to know the reasoning behind choosing a specific tuning. Thanks a lot!! Much love from Uruguay!
Really glad you enjoyed it. I will be coming out with a video soon on how to hold the Chapman Stick and the different options. For now though I would make sure your wrist is not bent. if your left wrist is bending too much try to shorten the strap on your Chapman stick. It should put a little bit less strain on your wrist.
Amazing! What is the large, grey circle that shows up on the center string in some of the chord visuals? It didn't look like you were putting a finger on that string ...
They come in all different types of wood. The one in this video is Steffi’s Bamboo Stick. I normally play a rosewood. But they also have maple, paduak, machiche, wenge and a few more. It only affects the weight and the looks, not the sound.
Beautiful. Love it! Thank you !
Great lesson. Thanks!
As much as I would love to be able to play an instrument, reality tells me that I was born to be in the audience. ❤❤
That’s okay, we need plenty of listeners😁🎶
@@Cascademelodies that’s my excuse and I’m sticking to it! 😉🥰
Nice job Marc.
Mark, I’d very much like to hear you play “Somewhere only We Know” and “Unstoppable” and, of course, anything by John Denver 🥰
Might have to look into those and make an arrangement:)

That’s the fret marker, I have round fret inlays on my chapman stick, but they can also be linear:)
Aha, cool! Thank you, and keep up the great work! My next extra $4k (lol) will definitely be going to a Chapman Stick!
By the way, I played John D. covers at college in the coffee house. 😊
Classic:)
Mark, can you please tell me what material this stick is made of? Is it bamboo? Thank you🙏🏻
