Since we still can't get together and play, I tried my hand at recording & stitching together a split-screen video of one of the sketches I wrote for my band The Scimitars
Far from perfect, but I think it gets the idea across.
Check it out (speakers or headphones recommended).

Thanks guys! Much appreciated.
Brian, the instrument on the top right is an electric Saz (a.k.a electric Bağlama).
It has quite a small body and long, slender neck. I had to zoom in on that frame because I realized I accidentally filled the screen with my arm, so the instrument body looks bigger than it actually is.

Here are a couple of pics to show it in relation to familiar objects:

Thanks everyone! And yeah, the cycle of sketch->rehearsals->live shows->reaching maturity on the tunes->recording has been halted before the "maturity" stage. Obviously, much worse problems in the world, so in the meantime, making the best of it with these videos.
