Stickist.com is a site for the StickŪ community and dedicated to Stickists and aficionados of the Chapman StickŪ.

Emmett Chapman's unique Free Hands parallel two-handed tapping method connects the musician more powerfully and more intimately to a stringed instrument than ever before. With both hands as equal partners on the fretboard, each hand can play independent lines, or the two hands can work in concert to form interlaced arrangements. The Free Hands method enables live execution of complete musical concepts, from the bass on through chords and melody, to the effects, ambients and sweeteners, greatly enlarging the musical scope. Welcome and enjoy the site!
~Manny, #1991 Padauk, 10-string, standard tuning.

Greg Howard demonstrates the method and the instrument in these video clips.
