RIP master. The echoes of this masterpiece will chime in eternity
No way... RIP.
Wow. What the hell. I’m feeling like a douche. I just found out now
People disliked this video? Why? This dude is an incredible musician.
True, he is just brilliant, but I think the choice of song is not popular.
It is always important to have the right song choice at an exhibition.
There people disliking every video. digital vandals and hooligans. quit obsessing about thumbs down counts.
They are hardcore Trump supporters that's why. (Losers).
Music is subjective.
Music is subjective. And our liking of stuff depends on taste. I don't like what he's done. I have a very broad mind when it comes to music - jazz, classical, world, prog, brass band, Latin etc. I just don't like this - too noisy, too busy. Virtuouso, sure, but I'm of the school that thinks less is more - and that he certainly ain't!
This particular instrument is a dark bamboo Grand Stick in the Classic tuning with a high bass 4th, hybrid EMG melody/Stickup bass.
Hope that answers the question, and thank for the interest.
Love it so so much
RIP Greg. This is awesome. I'm gonna miss you telling me about your gigs and saying "You should come"
The separation between your left hand "groove" and your right hand "lead lines" is magnificent to watch. I can't even contemplate the complexity of this piece much less your stellar performance. Bravo!
I see people THIS talented and I feel SO empty. The soul quenching joy of being able to express yourself so wonderfully should be everyone's gift.
This is one of the advantages of using the Stick's more common "crossed" hand orientation. By reaching over the strings both hands have access to the whole instrument all the time.
Glad you like it.
Like it?? I LOVE IT! Wow dude! You 'have it' - it just pours out - not too many people have this, at least imho.
thanks to everyone for all the kind comments. My inspiration for this arrangement is the "801 Live" version with the amazing Simon Phillips on drums. Hedges was amazing, though, thanks for the reminder about him.
Fellow UVa TKE here . . . so glad you mention the 801 Live version . . . I've been proselytizing that version since, well . . . UVa!
that's some next level interpretation right there... well done man.
I tried to play on once. I play keyboards, but on this instrument, I believe one's brain has to be in 5 or 6 sections.
Made my hair stand when you broke into the melody .... This is too much to handle !!
Same here!!
I will always miss you, Greg. I cherish all the notes ♪♫♪ you left us.
I was at NAMM in Anaheim in 1997 and Greg played "Tomorrow Never Knows" right in front of me (I was the only one watching) and I was struck stupid by his playing. A stiff wind could have knocked me over. My jaw dropped and I had goosebumps. Greg is the best I've seen on the Stick. Trey Gunn is excellent too as is Rob Martino. But I gotta say Greg is the master. Beyond belief.
I love KC and Tony Levin so YT led me to this ridiculous virtuoso performance. Count me as blown away. Melody, lead, bass line and harmony all in one. Fantastic
Beautiful medley with Norwegian Wood! Beautiful, clean, with feel and virtuosism! Loved it, greetings from Argentina!
When I first heard the transition into the solo and the solo itself, it was one of those moments in a live performance that I will never forget and that still excites me today. Many, many thanks
I was simply amazed where the two great Beatles songs marged into one great arrangement. Thanks for playing!
Utterly mesmerizing and mind-blowing! Beautiful playing.
No words,...beyond words,...all I can say is, thank you.
Thanks, very kind comment!
This performance introduced my jaw to the floor! Amazing! A great Beatles song as well.
I am Absolutely Speechless…🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯
Greg Howard is absolutely superb!
Love this
..... I can't figure the stick out... my bassplayer has one... beyond me... but this is truly special... nice norwegian wood mashup. :)
You have to keep coming back to this amazing performance!
Damn this is extraordinary.
Greg, every time I watch this video I find new things to love about it. If it wasn't for this I would have my Stick. Absolutely love it every time I watch this. Cheers, Evan
I've watched a few more videos now, and I would just like to say how awesome you are. I'm just about to turn 42, and you're just awesome, I love your stuff, I just love it I've been playing guitar for like 25 years, but what you do is amazing! Just love it, keep it up.
Really amazing creativity and musicianship!! Just so cool on so many levels!!
The middle part lapsed into Norwegian Wood. Such talent. Beautifully played.
Daniel Hebner I'm not sure it was a lapse. The "solo" was well-worked out. A lot of hard work gives good results. It rocked. :)
I keep coming back to this. Mind blown, yet again. The Stick and the tune are perfect for each other, and this is done so well... .
What an amazing instrument - I'd never seen a Chapman Stick before - it's as fascinating watching this incredibly talented gentleman play it as it is to listen.
Feeling the Chapman Stick Vibes All the way in UP Michigan
If there was a way that I could like this video a hundred times, I would. I just absolutely love it. I'm a guitar player, but I want one of "those"! And the way that he plays is just so beautiful to my heart. Nah I would like it like 200 times, I think that's how many times I've watched it. Thank you for the greatness.
I never get tired of watching this. Amazing performance.
Awesome how good this sounds! The original, just two chords but this man has made it so much better. 👏🏻😊 Thanks. Drums, too. Perfectly done.
Wow, I was totally mesmerized and can't believe all of the sound that is capable of, love it!
Anyone who gave this a thumbs-down is trying way too hard to prove they are a hard-core Beatles fan.
Wow!
Just beautiful. ❤
RIP. A very talented musician.
Always great performances from Greg!
First time, talented musician reflecting the endless capacity of the human brain in an amazing interpretation of a beautiful masterpiece by an equally unique band!
Absolutely extraordinary performance - BRAVO!!!! I was in awe.
This guy came to our writing camp at UVA in the mid-80's and played for us. He told us all about this strange contraption he had, and let the more musically curious of us see what we could get out of it. I've remembered him ever since, and still have the cassette tape I bought from him! He deserves so much more recognition. He's amazing. His "Blue Ridge" is one of my favorites. And you know what--he hasn't aged a day, either!
You get the best of both worlds, and more. There are many things about The Stick that are truly unique to The Stick.
I just love the deep sonorous tone of the bass, especially with that reverb, and then an almost banjo-like trebble towards the ending. A truely versatile instrument and I am loving diving through youtube surfing a sound wave and finding musicians I never knew of before who are delighting me at every turn. Fabulous. Thank you.
I discovered Greg Howard and the Chapman Stick at Enigma Garden Cafe, an "old-school" (nothing like Starbux) style coffee house near downtown Las Vegas. It must have been 1994 or 1995 (Maybe Greg will chime in and tell me for sure when it was.) There were maybe 30 people there. Having been a guitar player most of my life, I was blown away.
Hi Ron, I think the first time I played in Las Vegas was 1997.
@@gregplaysthestick Maybe that was it. Still a very long time ago.
Thank for the kind comments. I've written two books and have also released a method DVD last year. Emmett's book, Free Hands is a great resource, and there are also books and DVDs by Steve Adelson and Bob Culbertson. We all have very different approaches to playing and teaching. I also do lesson via skype.
Wow!
Fantastic,,, what a delicious tone and sound!!
I never saw that before... i am totally amazed by that instrument... Excellent... This is simply crazy!!
Greg, you are right... I will give them the benefit of the doubt that they either meant to hit the thumbs up button or had the sound off. Very inspirational, thank you!
Hold on a second while I put my brains back in my head!
Really appreciate what you have put together for us to listen to Greg. Love your style and ideas. Thanks so much. I'm sure I've got heaps of friends I can share this with who will appreciated it as much. Cheers.
This must be the most exciting stick arrangement and performance here on youtube. I almost have tears in my eyes. Thank you!
Absolutely wonderful!
Superb extension of one of the many great less popular Beatle songs, loved it
Beautiful sound, great arrangement. Viva the Beatles.
A real masterpiece!
This is my current favorite song. My current favorite new find as an artist. Exposed to this instrument via Tony Levin and KC (also Trey Gunn) in the early 80's. Took me about three years for someone to explain to me that I was not listening to a bass guitar. My fascination with this instrument in his hands made this my favorite musical instrument. This technique is even broader. I bet you make Emmett proud. Headed to your website, hopefully to do some Christmas shopping.
Watched you play this live and I am still in awe. thanx for sharing and great job.
I am also in VA, Mineral, you are SICK! I love you and Rob, two virtuosos of the stick. Hit me up. That was GREAT what did splitting channels, awesome.
Superhuman. Astonishing talent!
Wow! That was incredible.
One of the most godlike things I’ve ever seen!
OMG that was 13 years ago? imagine how awesome he is today 13 years later!
You should probably read deeper into the comment section 😣👇
WOW, HATS OFF TO YOU SIR.AMAZING.
Outstanding! Thank you!!!
I probably commented on this earlier, but listening or listening again doesn't matter, it is really fine. I'm still learning from the summer session two years ago, plus your new video, which is really helpful, and I can see progress even if others may not notice the difference. You are a fine teacher as well as artist.
Absolutely incredible!
Here in 2020. This is bomb, dude.
Love it!!! I have watched people play them at art shows and such. It is amazing and sounds incredible!!!
Always amazing! Cheers from Brazil Greg! You rule!
Holy cow! I really appreciate that you make such beautiful music. This is brilliant, please, never stop.
Wow love this , have to say never heard of this instrument but you play it wonderfully , keep up the good work 🎼🎼
Wow! Beautiful! 🙏👌
amazing!
I always dreamed of playing like this, this is awesome>>>>>>>>>
Really really awesome. If I could afford a stick, I'd buy one for sure.
Wow holy crap. You sir, are amazing.
You are my inspiration to learn this Chapman stick and it has helped to have the keyboard and guitar background.
Stick Enterprises carries a huge inventory of strings for all imaginable tunings of The Stick. Their strings are custom selected for good tapping sound and feel. Just write to or call them.
HI GREG... Thanks for give us your beautiful art.
I loooove it so, so much!!!!! Keep up the good work ❤️
Another level!
Many regards,
Ian
Awesome. Both John and Greg, the interpreter.
AMAZING
It's fantastic!!!!!!
Great version, Greg!!! Thank you very much for this, and... I know.
Bonkers and BRILLIANT!
I have this CD called Water on the Moon. Greg improvises I think all the way through on this one, and really pushes the envelope. I like that.
Wow...you are in inspiration! Thanks for sharing....I love your tones.
Excellent ! The intro reminds me of Alan Parsons. Maybe the music of Alan Parsons can also be beautifully arranged for Chapman Stick by Greg.
Fantastic!
Wow , thats great! Need to watch some more of your stuff Greg.
Hi, I am a sitar player and you are simply fantastic
Thanks very much. High praise indeed. Bob is a monster player.
HOLY CRAP! THIS IS AWESOME! 😀
Amazing! Beautiful! Awesome! Keep up the good work!
Virtuoso performance of an extraordinary instrument.
I've been listening to various covers of Tomorrow Never Knows, and wow, this is an awesome version! Sounds like he also borrowed from the melody of Norwegian Wood at one point, too.
Outstanding!
Incredible performance 👏.
that was huge! 👏👏👏
