I don't know. I just stumbled onto him on YouTube. Its a pretty unique style. He plays like a pianist kind of.

It's just like playing a Chapman Stick ... only different. See this:

It's Greg Howard, one of the great Stick players showing how a Stick works. |

I have nothing but respect for this type of playing. It's hard enough to think of fretting notes with your right hand, which is like playing left-handed, but to fret with both hands is like playing left and right handed at the same time. I guess you could get used to it in time.  |

It would be much easier, I would think, to just use a keyboard, eh?

I do wonder why some of these 2-guitar-fingertap guys don't just go to a Chapman Stick - it might have to do with preference or familiarity.
Back home in Salt Lake, there's a guy named Terry Hansen who has been doing two or three guitars this way for years. He takes Able Axe guitars and puts wooden pegs through the holes to bind them together, and away he goes! I saw him playing downtown a couple of years ago, and he's as good as ever - really great guy too. |

| Check out Adam Fulara on you tube. He plays a double neck guitar,both necks at the same time. He has it down pretty good. They call it "tapping". |

| I learned the Satch tune cuz it's done on one guitar with two-handed tapping. You can even do it on acoustic. Left hand taps the bass note and chords. Right hand taps out the harmonized lead line. |

Well whatever you call it, its pretty impressive. Its not something that I would ever consider trying. I have trouble enough with one guitar. It does kind of seem similar to playing piano though, at least to me, but I sure couldn't do it. Never could play a pianny either. Heck, I can't even get the Chet/Merle Travis alternating thumb thing down and I <i><b>want</b></i> to do that. Too much like walking and chewing bubble gum at the same time, I guess.
