A friend of mine let me borrow a book that took them through all four years of their music theory classes in college. I've been reading through it and applying what I've learned. Here's a little demo type thing of what I've soaked in so far! CC appreciated!

Not bad. I think you could vary the chords and lead up more, as they repeat fairly quickly. Perhaps use that back "stuttering' synth to give some feeling of chords, or just a general mood.
