Stick Men June 21, 2009

This unusual progressive trio features Pat Mastelotto and Tony Levin (King Crimson) and Michael Bernier all performing with the Chapman Stick. Superficially, a Stick looks like a wide version of the fretboard of an electric guitar, with 8, 10 or 12 strings, but longer and wider. Unlike the electric guitar, it is usually played by tapping or fretting the strings, rather than plucking them.
