Hi all, The website http://www.greghoward.com is alive and well. Currently it has been revamped just a bit with mostly the same information as before. As time moves forward, the hope is to really focus on celebrating both Greg's music as well as his contributions to the Stick pedagogy. Cheers! |

Man! I completely forgot about this video that Steve Balogh shot back in 2011 at the Ground Level in Toledo. I'm embarrassed to say that I don't remember how to play this and I don't even remember the title. I do remember enjoying playing this one quite a bit though.

Certainly an interesting idea. It's likely you'd only be able to get away with it on the lower pitched strings though as the higher strings would be pitched way too high. |

Illusion! Totally! It's like a piano with strings. Two hands. Everything is laid out right on the fretboard. Every instrument has its learning curve and different things make different instruments more difficult to learn. Horn players spend years honing their embouchure. Players in the violin family... |

For me the SoftStep is just a bit problematic if you're looping. The switches are soft (hence the name ;) ) so if you're doing loops where the timing is real critical, it can be hard to get them just right.

I'm sure the instrument is in great condition. Buyer's need to be aware though that those early instruments weren't adjustable and were made for light gauge strings and standard/classic tuning. Deviating too far from that is likely to result in a poor playing experience. I know Emmett wasn't too kee... |
