"Still Water" is one of my earliest compositions. I originally wrote the melody with trumpeter John D'earth in mind back in 1986. I am blown away by the performance of Hubert Heeringa on this version. A LITTLE STORY.. The way this tune is written, the melody cues the chord changes, so howe... |

Thanks Yannick. Mine’s currently at 2 mm, on the outermost, thinnest bass string. Greg: my instrument is from 2006, I think. It has flaps and a the single truss rod. Here’s a photo of the end of the instrument. I’ve already adjusted it a bit to get it playable. One problem I’m experiencing is that ... |

Usually people who don't understand how the truss works, or are concerned about adjusting based on thinking it is like a guitar truss, start messing with the bridge.

Nice vibe, Boaz!
A tune like this is a good opportunity to mix up sonic treatments and octave placement for the melody going from verse to verse. Something to try...

So my ears perk up when someone describes something as noise. My terminology is "exquisite dissonance". And yes. Very nice. It says composed by you so I'd like to hear "the Stick interpretation". The melody is a bit different than your usual compositions. Wild shit. Makes me wan... |

1. Is there a standard Stick tablature? 2. Is there a tome available to purchase with a legend to read this notation? Thank you. Each of my books has a section on how to read StaffTab at the beginning. For me full tablature also implies "One True Way Of Playing" a tune? Fine if that's wha... |
