10 grand DMR, 12 grand classic, Alto stick alto.
I'm in over my head for sure. I guess once i figure out where all the notes are on the fretboard i should be able to play rhem all to some extent. The theory is all basically the same, its just finger positioning.
DMR 10 grand was my first. I slapped it a lot. I also tried to learn where my notes are. I make noise on the stick, not pretty music like most stick players, but its improv feeling music to me. I dont care if any one else likes it. I am my own worst critic anyway.
I had a 12 grand dmr, which i recently had changed to classic. This stick is making me play more, conservatively, and making me have a lighter touch, and cleaner chords.
I just bought an alto with alto tuning, which just threw my whole stick knowledge out the window, but its really just the melody side. This is the stick that i will try alternate tunings on for sure. Although not ready to take on mirrored 4ths, as this is a completely different concept. Thinking about a dadf#a or dadga tuning on melody or something similar, maybe dropping one of the bass sides also.
Awesome stuff. Mind bender.
