Learning the Chapman Stick can be an exciting journey! The Chapman Stick is a unique musical instrument known for its versatility and ability to produce a wide range of sounds. Here's a general guide to help you get started:

Understand the Instrument: Familiarize yourself with the layout and mechanics of the Chapman Stick. It typically consists of a long, fretted neck with strings spanning across it. The strings are usually divided into melody and bass sections.

Basic Music Theory: Learn some basic music theory if you haven't already. Understand scales, chords, and how they apply to the Chapman Stick. This knowledge will help you create melodies and harmonies effectively.

Start Slow: Begin with simple exercises to get comfortable with the instrument. Practice scales, arpeggios, and simple melodies to build dexterity and coordination.

Utilize Resources: Take advantage of online tutorials, instructional books, and videos. There are many resources available that offer guidance on playing techniques, music theory, and even specific techniques for the Chapman Stick.

Experiment and Explore: Don't be afraid to experiment with different playing styles and techniques. The Chapman Stick offers a lot of creative possibilities, so explore different sounds and techniques to find your unique voice on the instrument.

Seek Feedback: If possible, connect with other Chapman Stick players or musicians for feedback and advice. They can offer valuable insights and help you improve your skills.

Practice Regularly: Like any musical instrument, consistent practice is key to improvement. Set aside dedicated practice time each day or week to work on your skills and repertoire.

Learn from Music: Study and learn songs that showcase the capabilities of the Chapman Stick. Analyze the techniques used in these songs and try to incorporate them into your own playing.

Stay Patient and Persistent: Learning any musical instrument takes time and dedication, so be patient with yourself and celebrate your progress along the way.

Remember to enjoy the learning process and have fun exploring the unique sounds and possibilities of the Chapman Stick!

"Curiouser and curiouser."

Some good advice there but I notice the predictability of language which in and of itself, seems like a type of bias.
I'm getting ready to spend money on my pedalboard which has AI built virtual cabinets.

I'm open to it..
