Hi everyone,

Those of you with copies of Free Hands will already have this article, which is reprinted in the back...

It's been added to the articles page at stick.com:

Thanks for posting that, Greg. Personally, I will wait for my copy of Free Hands. ;)

Indeed an excellent read!
One of the first things I read in Free Hands after being alerted to its chess metaphors. It seemed quite the happy coincidence that I used a picture of a chessboard as a sample for the color of the dye on my Stick.

Pretty dope article! I told one of my buddies about The Stick a few days ago and he couldn't believe it had been around for 30 years. Even today it seems it's years ahead of it's time.

Cool, I have the book but haven't look at it in years. I printed the article and will read it during lunch. Good work/lunch reading!

The image of chess moves really resonated with me. I especially like seeing the knight's moves in harmonic intervals.

Code:
- | - | - | - | - |
m3| - | - | - | - |
- | - | R | - | - |

- | M6| - | - | - |
- | - | - | - | - |
- | - | R | - | - |

- | - | - | M7| - |
- | - | - | - | - |
- | - | R | - | - |

- | - | - | - | - |
- | - | - | - | 5 |
- | - | R | - | - |

- | - | - | - | - |
- | - | R | - | - |
- | - | - | - | M6|

- | - | R | - | - |
- | - | - | - | - |
- | - | - | m3| - |

- | - | R | - | - |
- | - | - | - | - |
- | m2| - | - | - |

- | - | - | - | - |
- | - | R | - | - |
4 | - | - | - | - |


And of course because the inverted 5ths and ascending 4ths are parallel tunings, these knight moves apply to the bass side as well as the melody side...
