![]() Perkins III (Golden Thunder), Chris Stezin (Facebender, and Billie Krishawn (The Nina) in Airness, a co-production of Keegan Theatre and 1st Stage. Both also give credence to author Sarah Vowell’s assertion in her book The Partly Cloudy Patriot that “being a nerd, which is to say going too far and caring too much about a subject, is the best way to make friends I know.” Harrison Smith (Shreddy Eddy), Gary L. While wildly different, both works center a group of misfits who find connection and escape from their everyday lives in a world suffused with fantasy. While watching Airness, I was struck with something akin to déjà vu and realized that this play could almost be in conversation with the last show I reviewed, Rorschach’s She Kills Monsters. It’s a show about people taking a deeply silly thing extremely seriously and delighting the audience in the process.Īirness closes Novemat Keegan Theatre. ![]() This one moment, perhaps more than any other, perfectly encapsulates Chelsea Marcantel’s hit air guitar play, Airness, currently being given its DC premiere in a joint production between The Keegan Theatre and 1 st Stage. As on all of our instruments, the tuning is completely configurable and intonatable with our adjustable bridge and nut hardware.“The whole impetus of air guitar is world peace,” earnestly intones a grown man who goes by the name Golden Thunder right before he goes out on stage in a dingy bar to play a pretend instrument. Any tuning the player desires within these extremes is possible. The overall range available for the fretboard is from G below guitar low E to A above guitar open high E. Recommended tunings range from variants on our 4ths melody/inverted 5ths bass tunings, to parallel "double-neck" guitar tunings, and two mirrored 4ths tunings, one oriented toward the range of two guitars and the other for piano music. Chose from two inlay patterns, each with a wide selection of inlay colors: our Stick pattern with linear inlays every five frets, or the familiar guitar dot inlay pattern. The SG12 is available in all of our hardwood laminates pr bamboo laminate construction. This makes for fast, articulate tapping in the high lead guitar and violin range.Īll three of our pickup choices, the original stereo passive Stickup™, and the stereo/mono ACTV-2™ (with active EMGs) and quad Villex PASV-4™ stereo/mono Block® pickup modules are available, offering a wide range of tones for the tapping guitarist to chose from. Our Rails™, stainless steel precision tapping frets, provide excellent tactile feedback and clearer tone for tapped high notes than conventional guitar frets, with enough room for fingertips between the fret tops even at the highest notes. Notes near the nut have a full sound with plenty of fundamental frequency for a strong, supportive accompaniment, as on piano or rhythm guitar.Ĭloser fret spacing means easy reach of close intervals on both sets of strings. ![]() Shorter scale lengths allow for lighter gauge strings, which can make tapping up high easy with the lowest possible action. Based on our Grand Stick® design but shorter in scale length by 5 frets, the SG12 is the perfect vehicle for players who don't need to occupy the bass role, but still want a wide range of notes with more overlap between the string sets than on our 10-string Alto Stick. ![]() The 12-string "Stick Guitar" gives the two-handed tapping musician an overall higher range for lead and accompaniment than our 36"-scale models. ![]()
