For a tapping based instrument, I find a WOEFULLY SMALL number of players that have good rhythm and truly make use of the percussive elements of the instrument. Kevin Keith IS making use of those percussive elements, and plays the thing with true percussive skill. Actual Pocket. What a concept!
Kevin is a master. This song brings lively funk, a pleasing contrast between rhythm and melody and a clear flowing melody that draws me in with it's sensitivity. Props and respect, Kevin!
Kevin Keith is the only Stick player I've found that actually seems to strive for good tone. It's a fantastic instrument, sold short by a pervasive lack of ambition in that respect. Step up Stick players, the gauntlet hath been thrown. ;) Cheers!
Dammit, that's the tune that I was thinkin' of. Killer fretless line🤘in that Edie Brickell/New Bohemians tune. I'm not really a pay attention to the lyrics kinda guy, but, a pretty cool play on words, too.
Generally the bass side (left hand) is tuned in fifths, other five strings (right hand) tuned in fourths. I know some bass players who prefer to tune both sides in fourths, though. Get you one if you want a challenge!

Badass. The piano of guitars!
As a bassist...I'm speechless. As a musician....very proud!! Wow. Damn. Melody

Not only phenomenal musicianship, but a fantastic piece of music to listen to. I’ll be checking this guy out, he’s amazing!.
mad skill
Straight badass. I knew John Myung and Tony Levin played the stick, but this guy is on another level
Sean Malone too of Cynic, some badass Stick playing there.
One and only - Trey Gunn
check out Robert Culbertson
Robert Culbertson is the best.
Don't forget Greg Howard (saw him in a small venue and talked to him for a minute).
love kevin keith!
So great
What awesome skill to produce such a track!!

Fantastic! Love your Stick stand. I did the same thing with my Railboard.
As a bassist I am inspired and motivated to try to play this on bass…wow just wow

A guy who can make a Chapman Stick sound like a whole band - with a groovy song to boot.
very great performance, congratulations very nice, you are a stick master!!!
Awesome playing, man! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Wow! Super played. I like this instrument.
at first i thought this was a cover of What I Am by Edie Brickell. Still good either way
Dammit, that's the tune that I was thinkin' of. Killer fretless line🤘in that Edie Brickell/New Bohemians tune. I'm not really a pay attention to the lyrics kinda guy, but, a pretty cool play on words, too.

Where is the button "OMFG this guy is awesome!!!"? A thumb up is not enough.
Awesome playing, enjoyed this a lot.
The play using chapman stick as a bass is amazing
Damn, this is amazing. 8 Strings guitar player here. I am so inspired now
Kevin is an amazing Stick player, as much as he is an amazing human!

Great!
Wooooha, I love it, awesome !!

Super musical
Love that instrument, great work, man (saw that instrument first time with Tarace Boulba, about 20 years ago)
Wow that's nuts
Amazing song. Avenida das Américas is the name of an beautifull avenue at Rio de Janeiro, Brasil.
My favourite stickman
Also, if y'all like this one check out his song Voiced in my Head. That's my personal favourite of his.
Just checked it out...Yeah, I agree...it's really good! Great vibe. Thanks
Cool!
Awesome. Never knew that a Stick was a thing.
This is so cool! I want to save money to get a Chapman Stick.
That is absolutely amazing. I would LOVE to learn to play one of those. They aren't cheap though
I’m lost in a stick world now. 😊🎶👍🏻
Magnífica execução . Estou me tornando um admirador do instrumento.
Comprou um?
Sick
I could tell from the title I would feel very unskilled after watching this
I was correct
Worth it for the vibes 🕯️
Jammin'!
Awesome playing. How is that thing tuned?
Generally the bass side (left hand) is tuned in fifths, other five strings (right hand) tuned in fourths. I know some bass players who prefer to tune both sides in fourths, though. Get you one if you want a challenge!
When bass transcends*
Start with an Upright bass/Double bass
Evolve to a Bass guitar
Transcend to a Chapman stick
Phenomenal 😃💥💥💥💥💣💣💣💣
Total Badassery!
Lets just take a minute to appreciate his brain to have played 2 separate rhythm/melody parts simultaneously.
I'd like to hear a cover of A Bad Lip Reading's "My Stick"
Wow!!!!
Alguien puede decirme dónde puedo conseguir un chapman stick, gracias?
Woow
As we like to say in Portugal: tá do caralho!
🔥💯❤️🙏🏽
🎉🎉🎉🎉
Phenomenal artist...be careful they'll start it " slap stick "..
Som lindo carai 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I want one. My life won't be complete if I don't.
we stil waiting for those chops
excellent looks like he has the stick on a high stand
Nooice
Quin so més bo... Preciós 😍
そんな、AMAZINGと言うほどの物ではない。
Easy enough to make one.
Alphonso Johnson 😊
cool, but does it djent?
Really enjoyed that apart from the "tapping" from 2:20 - 2:44. Other than that really good composition both melodically and rhythmically.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️👌👌🙏
Should be on StickTheWorld.com! Great job though 😁
stick has always been considered belonging to the bass department, especially since it's played by so many bassists.
also the correct url would be StickItToTheWorld.com 😉
Hi Kevin
My name is Ms. Stevie
I heard about you from Malcolm.
Would love to network with you.
That felling when you even cant play slap on 4 string bass...)))
Screw that, I can barely handle 4 strings
