There is a growing body of professional Chapman Stick players that could play for a series of RT's based on the stick. This would fall in the finger picking (Tapping) style of RTs.
For those who are not familiar with the Stick here is a youtube

As well as many more. Many fall into the Jazz genre but others could go into folk, classical , Spanish, etc

How Peter G. gets a chance to preview some of the stick's vids as this would add a greater depth to the RT's library

I think there are some great stick players over in Portland, OR maybe Vancouver, your neck of the woods. Pass it along to Peter G.
Yea, it's a crazy good instrument

With a combination of bass and guitar strings, the possibilities are almost limitless. Tony Levin from my area (Woodstock) was an early adopter and proponent of this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AGdUlRRQm4Y

I had no idea... I kind of imagined Chapman Stick players sticking to places like LA, or NYC, or Mars, maybe...

Ah, of King Crimson fame! Wonderful video. It's so odd-looking to me how the bass strings seem to be in the middle of two sets of guitar strings, but i suppose it works best that way.
