Never seen him live. Just asking. Don't get all pissy, people. Is he just that guy who is too nervous to sing without a guitar? Not know what to do with himself or his hands on stage just singing?

Here is what Rolling Stone published re that:

quote:

While Stapleton technically could stand onstage and just sing, his guitar playing is a vital element of his live sound.

After James Hetfield's near incineration on Metallica's 1992 tour, he limited himself to singing, while an added player handled his guitar parts. But Stapleton is his lean band's only guitarist, and his idiosyncratic style, which relies heavily on choppy, rhythmic chords, would be hard to duplicate. His solos, meanwhile – like the one-note display he tears up in "Second One to Know" – are simple and spontaneous in their feel. To Stapleton, improvisation is key.
