Hah, it would seem so. I'm no Bob Culbertson, but I should say that I find the Stick to be rather easy to learn. Its inverted fifths tuning for the bass side makes a whole lot of sense to this recovering guitarist.

What's certainly not easy is to play patterns between hands that are not merely interlocking or interlaced but truly independent. I have given up on trying to do this without breaking down the pattern and learning them chunk by chunk. Perhaps true independence is a myth or a well-guarded secret.
