String Skipping and Theme/Variations

I posted my first video on youtube.com; it's a sputtering, quasi-instructional-promotional video describing how I used string skipping and the baroque method of theme and variations to create the tune It's A Little Sickness from Transduction Euphony.

The tablature is a little tough to read on this compressed version of the video, so I'm including links here to the tablature:

Theme

Variation 1

Variation 2

Variation 3

Hope you enjoy it and get something out of it. You can check out the recorded version of It's A Little Sickness on myspace.

Now...coming to you from San Antonio!

Sonic Deviant's Quarter Note Laboratory has relocated to San Antonio, TX (ahem...home of the 2007 NBA champs). I'll post up some new pics of the studio soon, which doesn't look a whole bunch different than the previous incarnation. I'll also be throwing some miscellaneous pics of San Antonio up as well...what a great city.
