Unusual/Alternative instruments

Posted by Mark Bliss on December 12, 2010 at 1:11pm in Other stuff - off topic, fun stuff, whatever

Knowing some of you are as interested in alternative and unusual instruments as I am, I thought I would share some things I found on Chapman sticks (Stick.com for more) Warr guitars and Megatars.

All are played mostly hammer-on or tapped style, with interesting results. The first video on the Chapman starts a little dry, talking about voicing, tuning, playing style, but about half way in it has some good examples of playing the instrument.

Enjoy!

    Wow, that's sweet, I mean that's ^%#$@ art. I couldn't play it, but it sure looks good. LOL

    This is a 10 string build I did a few years back. It has at the moment a single piezo pick up installed. It is strung with classical nylon guitar strings. (SORRY, I couldn't rotate the photo...LOL!)
