Yeah Crimson uses a Stick and a Warr guitar. The thing is, a Stick has the range of a piano. If you are going to devote all this time to learning to play a certain way, you might as well get the proper tool.
It is like a young guy learning to play softball, and never switching over to baseball. It seems like a waste of time.

how much do they run for and how do you learn to play them?

That's quite cool, although I'm much more impressed by bass tapping and bass slapping. As far as the pure physicality goes, it's about five times as hard and it's QUITE amazing to see.

Re: So you think you're good at tapping?

I noticed that, too. Whenever you see these "Rusty Cooley" style guys who are amazing virtuosos.... doing sweep picking, tapping and slapping techniques the rest of us can only dream about.... they're always sitting alone in their bedroom. They're just sitting alone in a room shooting a video.

I've never once seen guys do stuff like this at shows. This indicates something. A lot of these amazing techniques simply aren't practical. They have no place in the kind of rocking music people want to listen to. Guys who spend too much time on technique and no time jamming with other guys in a band setting wind up as "woodshed warriors".

I would rather be a mediocre guitar player who enjoys what I do, gets paid and recieves adulation from fans than a guy who is only noticed by other musicians over the internet.

My thoughts exactly!

Although i do respect anyone who can do that stuff and wish i could do it too...i wont be dissapointed if i am never in that virtuoso boat...I JUST WANNA ROCK!

Re: So you think you're good at tapping?

i can do that nuntius

Please demonstrate

On our dutch guitarforum someone posted a pretty nerdy looking guy doing the exact same thing, also playing classical music, so I think people are getting more interested in this type of playing as we speak

Re: So you think you're good at tapping?

That was very cool.

Stanley Jordan (jazz) was doing that 20 years ago, tho. Pretty incredible stuff.

Re: So you think you're good at tapping?

Yes, I'm an excellent tapper. Sometimes I have to stomp on either a kickin' hard switching Cry Baby to disengage, an amp channel selector, a stereo chorus and a distortion stompbox at the same time
