Thanks for all the replies and helpful comments guys.
*Is having a better idea of how to go about this now*
I'll be working on improving and learning and picking up new tricks along the way, and I'll be back. 
Peace.

Thanks for the resource! Anyone have any other composition book that you feel is worth a read apart from the dummies one? I'm probably going to make a trip down to the library to find a book that I like. Cheers! And thanks for answering all my questions. I feel so welcomed. C:

Thanks guys. Looking at the replies it looks like I'll be diving into simple, beginner level theory and then progress on to basic composition as well. Just to wrap this up anyone have any nice resources that you can put your name behind? Thanks.

Thanks for replying guys.
If I just pick up some lessons from musictheory.net on the IPad, and have a basic knowledge of chord progressions, will that suffice? Looking foward to your responses! Peace.

Hi Chipmusicians,
I've fiddled around with LSDJ for a few months, and occasionally I get a wonderful melody but other than that most of it just sounds off. But I do have a better grasp than when I first started. My friend has both Music Theory and Music Composition for Dummies, and I've recently loaned them from him for a while since he isn't using it. I'm also considering getting Hooktheory I off the IBookstore. But before I invest in the EBook, can I ask a few questions ? Is music theory and / or music composition necessary for learning LSDJ? I've seen the books, and they go really in depth. Do you guys have a website, EBook or book in mind that allows me just to learn the bare basics of whatever I need to know to start with LSDJ (Theory, composition, structure etc.)? I don't need to go for any theory exams and I probably won't in the future, so these books seems kinda advanced for me. Even though I have some basic experience in piano, it's zero theory. Thanks guys! Looking forward to Christmas!

Thanks for the advice, guys. I didn't expect to get some many replies. I'll keep all of that in mind and try once again to come up with something and see if it works out. I reckon I can do a little better than what I've been doing for so long, but I'll just have to wait and see.

Thanks to all who replied! XD
I do have experience in piano, but only up to Grade 3 or 4 before I stopped going for exams, but I still have a grasp of the instrument. I'll search for the relevant topics and see what I can dig out, and I'll grab a music composition book from my libaray and see what useful stuff they have.

Heya, Chiptuners.
I'm pretty new here, seeing that I'm without an avatar and all, but I'm here to ask a question that hopefully some of you guys can help me out with.
Firstly, I've been using LSDJ for a while now after I bought it off Johan 's site, and the cartridge was all I needed to get it up and running on my old Gameboy Color. I've read the manuals and seen dozens of tutorials, and I think I have a pretty decent grasp on LSDJ.
The problem comes here. Whenever I try to create chipmusic, I barely make it past the second line because I just don't know how to fit what motes together to create a melody. Despite knowing how to manipulate the program, the rhythm is mostly out of tune in the first 3 seconds. So, do you guys know anything that might help me out, if even just a little or any links to book titles or online resources that can help me out? Any help is much appreciated. Thanks!
