Pop Quiz- Rough Mix 1

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

Rob Martino performs original music and arrangements on the Chapman Stick, a unique stringed instrument that combines elements of guitar, bass, piano and percussion. The strings are tapped and held onto the frets, rather than plucked or strummed, enabling both hands to play complete and expressive multi-part arrangements. Rob has drawn from various progressive, folk, celtic and classical music influences to develop his particular playing style. In addition to making a strong impression at live performances, Rob’s music has a popular online presence, gathering over a million views and thousands of subscribers worldwide on YouTube.
