Stick Men June 25, 2009

This unusual progressive trio features Michael Bernier and Tony Levin (King Crimson) performing with the Chapman Stick, plus drummer Pat Mastelotto. Superficially, a Stick looks like a wide version of the fretboard of an electric guitar, with 8, 10 or 12 strings, but longer and wider. Unlike the electric guitar, it is usually played by tapping or fretting the strings, rather than plucking them.
