This interpretation of Eleanor Rigby by Robert Culbertson on the Chapman Stick is pure genius. What a talent !!! I'm blown away. LOVE the minor cord progressions and modulations ...
Once again I have to state that I really, really love the clean Stick sound when played with mastery as you do. The Stick has a unique sound which one may like or not. Nevertheless, playing a stringed instrument clean while utilizing all rhythmic, melodic and dynamic options as relaxed and joyful as you do is a true indication of mastery. Thanks for sharing!
And the video proves a valid point, Bob: the playing of a well-seasoned and very talented artist never gets old. You posted this in 2012 and I am watching it and enjoying it in 2021. I value the time that I spent at the Free Hands seminar at Interlochen in 2017. (We had a video chat with Emmett!) It was a great start for my beginning. And you and Greg and Steve did a great job at the seminar. I am grateful, Bob. Thank you.
NOthing better than a band that inspires you. Personally, I think you're better. Fleetwod Mac is my inspirational band. You're an amazing musician and I hope you continue making videos.
Someone said clean your fretboard a year or many ago, some silly Kalte. A dab of lemon oil won't hurt when you re-string. I love and am envious of the way you play. Been playing for 40 years-ish and you blow me away still. If you ever got together with Tommy Emmanuel, there'd be real trouble! Several more ears would be necessary for starters! Thanks for this Robert
Actually, I have do a soundcloud site. i have 3 songs and adding more. Most of the music will be different than on youtube. After reading this I now i added a link on my channel page too. Your comment helped make me aware of having sites like this easier to find here. Thanks! Bob
I thought Stanley Jordan's guitar tapping version was amazing, but this was next level. Here's Stanley in action: ruclips.net/video/SO7Xp51dCYc/видео.html
I was impressed by Stanley Jordan many years ago....this guy is in a whole different universe!!!!
I'm sure he's heard "Magic Touch".

Eleanor Rigby em bossanova! Incrível!
Fantastic, the character of bossa-nova at times gives a special flavor.
Thanks teacher.
Another dimension of music !
Great and skilled jazzing up of the Beatles
It is a very difficult instrument! Bob is a master!
Wow! Virtuoso extrordinairio! Seven stars of five.

Great, sounds unbelievably awesome. I'm glad I've stumbled across your channel, genuine Stick players deserve a lot more recognition.
Incredible. So naturally flowing. He makes it look easy!
Met Bob at riverfest in Wilmington, NC, 2001 , magical, I heard
Funky, jazzy, unique and very enjoyable. Incredible skill.
One of my all time Beatles favorites.... LOVE the jazzy, bossa nova passages in your interpretation!
Just outright masterful Bob, thanks so much for posting this! Love the ending with the slap bass technique.
spectacular!
after i watched this i felt as if i've accomplished nothing in my life
Well, you have power to control that

Video game idea: Chapman Stick Hero
You'd need like an 80 inch TV just to fit the fretboard on it properly visible.
More like a chapaman stick rocksmith version
This is SO amazing!! Wow!

Anybody who dislikes this must think that Justin Bieber, Madonna, Britney Spears and Miley Cyrus are actually musicians.
