Small Video with Chapman Stick Hands on Top playing on a Keyboard Stand made for Jan van Kelst’ s Kelstone Hot Contest. The Chapman Stick was originally Made by Emmet Chapman to play in an upright position like Tony Levin or Bob Culbertson does. Jan Van Kelst developed the hands on top technique where you play on top of the Strings. I also saw many guitar players like Andy McKee, Tommy Emmanuel or stanley jordan or bass players like John Myung or Jean Baudin using the tapping technique on their instruments always grabbing around the neck but the first guy where I saw it with hands on top was a youtube video called “Air Tap” of Erik Mongrain. He did nice stuff especially to get out the harmonics. I like the idea. The tune that I’m playing is a folk tune made by Alexander Meyen (www.violalex.de) that I played with the Loop String Project years ago where we also did a lot of live looping. There is also a video with the band!

Every sound you hear was created by Steve playing his acoustic cellos (with one exception — a subtle “hi-hat” noise made by his voice).
The Cello Song is based on one of the most recognizable classical pieces ever written, J.S. Bach’s Unaccompanied Cello Suite No. 1: Prelude. (Hint: Say Bach’s title with an English accent and it sounds a lot better). It’s been featured in a lot of movies (and car commercials)…Steven Sharp Nelson decided that this piece needed some accompaniment (Bach must have been busy and never got around to it? 
Adding some original material and 7 more cello parts stacked on top of each other, Steve has created a cool new sound that embellishes all the features that have made Bach’s work so popular. The 7 new parts include drawn-out melodies which soar above fast arpeggios, strumming chords from a guitar-like part, shaker sounds (accomplished by rubbing the sides of the cello), tremolo (1:08-1:24), and a cello-banging percussion part (complete with kick drum).
“Bach was an amazing composer — one of the best that ever lived. He wasn’t the greatest with titles though (smile)… As a consequence, no one can ever remember his Cello Suite’s name…so when I’m asked to perform his piece people always say, ‘hey, can you play that … um … that cello song?’ And so in Bach’s honor I name this adaptation of his amazing composition after what it has been naturally called for hundreds of years. Thanks for listening!” -Steven Sharp Nelson
You may know Steve from his work with the amazing Pianist Jon Schmidt on tunes such as “Michael Meets Mozart” and “Love Story Meets Viva La Vida.” Please check out those videos and visit Jon Schmidt’s site: www.jonschmidt.com
