No problem, just send me (Mike) a Conversation message and I'll get you sorted, by which I mean hammered-into-obedient-line because I'm SO about having a lot of individuality-destroying, oppressive shit all over my forum.

    Everybody post a little ditty - write any chords or melody you wish. Here are the rules:

    1) Played with two fingers only.
    2) No more than 16 bars.

    Go. I'll start:

    Oohh........ Redbanned addiction is paying off. I think I get to post first.

    not more than 16 bar, only 2 fingers at a time. Did you mean "chopsticks" style,or just two fingers at any one time. I can easily play this, but
    not sure about chopstick style. Let me know and I can revise/post live version etc.

    Neat.



    EDIT:

    Orchestrated (and now at correct tempo)
     
  3. No you don't have to do chopsticks, just only ever two notes at a time.

  4. Here is my little idea. It's 17 bars though :/ Unless I end on a suspended chord which might drive most crazy.

  5. Sam you can easily make that 16. Your unnecessary extension is in bar 15.
     
  6. This is a really fun idea! :)
     
  7. Throwing in my ditty (NP3, Sibelius).
     
  8. Really enjoyed the challenge and listening to the other entries. Not sure if I violated the spirit of the constraints by counting this as 4/4 instead of 2/4 since mine seems to be twice as long as the others, but here it is...

     
  9. Nice ! 60's cartoon Spiderman ??

  10. Thanks, Doug. I had to look up that theme song. The similarity was unintentional, but clearly I would have been influenced by it at some point. As soon as I heard it, I recognized that's what Will Smith's "Here He Comes" was referencing. I hadn't made that connection before. Lots of fun stuff in that original theme song.
