Stick teachers are disappearing as well. If you see any free information on the internet, download it to your hard drive. I've been saving any and all videos, books, lessons, etc.

The younger generation pride themselves as being smart by searching for everything online. When these online resources disappear, an entire generation will be left hopelessly in the dark.

If you have the ability to take lessons from Steve, take them now, as they might not always be available.

Greg released his DVD to youtube.

Have you checked out the 'Instruction Recorded' section of my list?

It has been extremely gratifying to witness all my student's progress in understanding the nature and creating music on the Chapman Stick. From basic triads and multi tasking parts to fancy harmonies and sophisticated improvs, the evolution is rewarding on both sides. Vocabulary, technique, repertoire, and groove are features I explore in my personal practice time. Sharing these discoveries has always been the main mission when I'm in my instructional mode.
Looking forward to teaching at the Vancouver seminar in 2 weeks.

I agree. Due to the risks involved into trusting clouds and internet of storing valuable data - I am hoarding all the Stick materials I could find, since decided to buy Stick, even if they seem easily obtainable.

Storing them in three places - Google cloud, my own laptop and an external usb disk drive. If all that would be destroyed at once - I think that means that I would be busy hunting radioactive rats for food, rather than learning music.

Thanks to that, I have local copies of the vanished Crane books and lessons for example.
Same applies to all instructional videos I've found, I have my own backups.

Great, thank you David, found "Stick with Alex" and "Tap theory" videos I was not aware of, even if I search Youtube for everything Stick-related quite regularly. Already fetched them for my treasury.

Makes sense, but I am a hobby musician without proper basic musical education who plays only for his cat - and on top of that - even not a native English speaker. At this point it would be a waste of Steve's valuable time.

P.S. Funny coincidence: "Steve has been teaching The Stick since 1985", just since my birth.

Discovering The Stick was my rebirth !
