What music do you play?

[thomact]

I'm not sure if this strictly belongs in here, but I wanted to aim it specifically at players of specialist tapping instruments.

I was just curious to find out what kind of music peeps out there are playing on their sticks, warrs, megatars, etc...

Obviously, there's a bias towards progressive music (hands up anyone who didn't come to touchstyle after seeing/hearing Tony Levin) but I know that there's loads going on.

For myself, I play an 8 string (and some 4 string bass) and sing lead vox in a rock/punk/emo (current critic-ese for it is 'post-hardcore') 3 piece - "The remedy". I'll get an mp3 up as soon it's done in a couple of weeks time.

I'm particularly interested to hear about people playing touchstyle as part of a band and how they find fitting in around guitarists (and everyone else, but guitarists are always more vocal with their opinions, in my experience).

Cheers, Thom...

I like to play old folk songs, old hymns, or songs I write myself. Nothing very exciting, believe me. An example of my Stick:

I have four tapping instruments:

1. 10-string Stick
2. 6-string Strat copy
3. Home made 8-string tapper
4. Megatar (as of yesterday)

In the next couple weeks, I'll make an MP3 with excerpts of the same song being played on all four instruments, and post the results here.

i enjoyed your mp3 - i've actually listened to it a few times just sitting here at work.

it was also encouraging in that it sounds like you're "sticking" the the same type of music i would like to, and it sounds great.

post some impressions on the megatar soon!
