Songs using mainly the chapman stick. For those who don't nothing about it - the chapman stick is a electro-acoustical instrument like the e-guitar. The stick has 5 or 6 bass strings combined with 5 or 6 so called melody strings and will be played by tapping using both hands. Both section can have independent effects and this instruments probably sounds like two instruments. For more information visit http://stickent.com
