Ugh...this song is really kicking my butt.

Recently, I drew some graphics for a [url=http://www.vg-resource.com/thread-25764-post-570118.html#pid570118]Dig Dug mockup and I decided to make some music to go with it. First, I figured I'd tackle the "Garden" level theme...but I've run into some trouble.

My goal here is to embellish the basic Dig Dug theme by changing it to a swing beat and extending it, but I've been working on this for two days and made almost no progress. I've tried creating at least a dozen different counter-melodies, but everything is either discordant or really meh. Could I have some help, please?

With a thread title like that, I was expecting a cover of Dig Dug II...

Or, you know, an NES update of an arcade classic like Bubble Bobble: Part 2. Really, that's what I was going for with the title.

Anyways, do you have anything to say about my song? Normally I can finish a song in a day, but I've worked two days on this to no avail...

OK, then guess I'll just work this one out myself. :I

I worked on the Garden theme a bit more and I feel that I'm getting closer to what I was originally going for. I also experimented with arps for the first time and I'm liking the results.

Finally, I had a strike of inspiration and I managed to lay down the basic chord progressions for a cemetery theme. Making original tunes is so much easier than remixing existing ones!
