With the benefit of four pages of hindsight on this thread, please tell me again about this "good OP humbly asking".

I can't quite decide if his troll game is strong, or if he's retarded. Sure is entertaining to read though.

To each his own? Maybe?

"Chip" is an aesthetic choice more than it's a genre of music. People have been pulling off jazz, rock, metal, ambient, and whatever else for decades and some of it sounds great, and some sounds like shit.

Personally I draw the line between chip and non-chip where people start tacking-on chip elements instead of using it as the main vector for the music. Rock outfits that force a square wave onto their songs almost invariably sound terrible. Same goes with EDM that's 90% NI plugins and sidechains and whatnot, and then add a little chip arpeggio somewhere. That shit is just tacky. It's as if the artist was saying "My shit ain't good enough to compete with other music in that genre, so I'm gonna settle for impressing the gameboy kids instead."

But to answer the original question. Yes I enjoy chiptunes. I got loads of it on my iPod that I listen to regularly. I've been listening to chiptunes since the Amiga and my love for it hasn't faded one bit (see what I did there?)

y'all not giving enough love to this. so...self-serving bump.

*bump*

There's also this thing here that's pretty damn awesome.

Inject it straight into your bloodstream with a needle. That's how the pros do it. If you do one whole marijuana, you can't lose. But don't do two marijuanas. Two marijuanas is crazy.

Speaking as a guitar player... A disproportionately large number of guitar solos are based around the blues scale, so start from that. Also keep in mind the open strings, EADGBE. Many guitarists will use them to insert a few quick notes or octave jumps in the middle of a solo. Watch a few "basic guitar solo" tutorials on the tubes of you and you'll get a sense of what kind of intervals feel "natural" on the guitar and give a melody a distinct "guitar solo" feel.
