Sure, but you can't necessarily play it well. Comes a time in your development where issues like which chair and which knee and where your left thumb is precisely have to be tweaked so that you can get to a new level of playing. Learning to play standing does have the benefit of letting you move from venue to venue and have the same body dynamics. The more I play in public on whatever chair is available, the more I too think, hmm, it'd be nice to have a portable stool-with-a-back to practice and perform with.
