Video is a great medium for The Stick. Seeing all of the elements of Emmett's method - melody, bass, chords, counterpoint - all come together in live performance is the best way to understand it. We hope you enjoy these performances. Check back often for new footage, and don't forget the offsite video links below. There are many excellent performers with video content on their own websites.

We also now have a channel on youtube devoted exclusively to Stick player videos: youtube.com/stickplayers
