Just a case of the 8-bit blues. Funny how each of us has our own style and sound here isn't it? I have mine which kinda resembles old NES, like exitebike, ect. Then mex, constant hint of megaman. I could go on, but for now I'll just let you listen to the song.

Cool, I like. I made an 8-bit blues track myself awhile back. It draws heavy inspiration from Mancini's Baby Elephant Walk.

The one in the OP reminds me a bit of the in-game music from [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DH3RFXPXwQc]Hoops (relevant music starts at 0:32).

modusponens -- geez, what's with all those tritones? ^^;

Most jazz doesn't sound that dissonant :/

the difference between the two is mine is an 8-bar blues (I think) and your's is something else.

The Hoops tune is also a 12-bar blues.

The modusponens tune doesn't sound like a 12-bar blues, though. A 12-bar blues is this chord structure: I I I I IV IV I I V IV I I

(Sometimes one encounters V V in place of the V IV; there are other small variations as well.)

What you've got is twelve bars, and I guess maybe it's even a blues progression (I'm not that educated on the subject), but it isn't a "twelve-bar blues".

The only variation my tune has from that progression is that I replace the last I with a IV-IVb. It has tritones everywhere so I can do the cool chromatic movement you hear in the vamping when I change chords. I emphasize the tritone because it's the sacred jazz interval!

To paraphrase The Simpsons, "you have to listen to the notes I'm NOT playing."

Well, that makes sense. But still, they sound so different. That's just so wierd.
