jacobydave,

There's a guitarist named Charlie Hunter. His deal since the 1990s is to play the bass and guitar at the same time on one instrument. Trying to make that work on one instrument is really why we started seeing 7- and 8-string guitars, fan-fret necks and the return of baritones. "I want to be a fraction as cool as Charlie", basically.

I love the idea, but wonder if I could get good enough for it to be worth it.

@jacobydave The #ChapmanStick and other touch #guitar instruments have been around since the 1970s: https://stick.com

I want to be a fraction as cool as #TonyLevin.

jacobydave,

@mjgardner And then there's the Funk Fingers. And doing it all while dancing on "In Your Eyes".

Forgetting, of course, King Crimson. You could do nothing but appear on Discipline and I would be amazed. #MatteKudesai

If I could even approach one of Tony's several musical lives, I would be satisfied.

@jacobydave Check out his #StickMen side project with #KingCrimson drummer #PatMastelotto and touch guitarist #MarkusReuter. Yes, they do some Crimson live, but also their own #ArtRock and #ProgressiveMetal. Not just instrumentals, either—Tony doesn't have a bad voice! https://StickMenBand.com

I've also seen him play upright #bass with his #keyboard-playing brother #PeteLevin as part of the #LevinBrothers #jazz combo: http://TheLevinBrothers.com
