Cool! I think there is supposed to be a difference between capital and lowercase letters in the final data statement - "m2" "M2" etc to indicate what notes are playing!
Cheers for writing it down and doing a video on it! It seems that however you didn't notice that in the original listing the major scales were marked with an uppercase M and the minor ones with a lowercase m. Because Commodore BASIC doesn't differentiate between the two I separated the minor ones with m_ (adding an underscore after) to not scramble up the minor and the major scales.
Dude, I saw he posted this and wanted to do the same!! I can’t wait to get off work and see what you have done and how it is sounding. I loved my C64 as a teen. Just subbed you, can’t wait to dig into your content. Totally my kind of stuff.
I started typing the program too but looks like you beat me to it! 😄 There's one thing I noticed while typing... Some of the strings in the last data line are supposed to be in uppercase and some in lowercase. This is because they represent the intervals for the generated scale (like m2 for minor and M2 for a major interval).
Neat! Thanks for clarifying what those strings represent. I see the case sensitivity of the strings in question now that you've pointed it out. I'll update the sources accordingly.
Awesome job! One minor nitpick- They aren't arpeggios, arpeggios are notes of a chord played individually, typically combinations of "third" intervals (C-E-G, for instance).
Thank you for clarifying the terminology. I have a very basic understanding of music theory and I knew I probably wasn't using the correct term. I even checked the definition to be sure, but didn't read the second part of the sentence (specifying the chord requirement), which is embarrassingly obvious now :)
Thank you so much for this video! :D
I am glad you shared this on FB. I love finding channels like this. 🙏🏻
Love this.
You're welcome! And thank you for sharing your interesting program from long ago!

Pretty cool! The fun part of this is that he can make his guitar sound almost the same.
I absolutely love the fact that you did this. So rad. Well done!
Awesome. I saw the original post and was thinking of doing just this, but glad you did it!
This is SO cool, Steve! "Welcome to the C64 Jungle!"
The 64 has "fun and games"! Its got everything you want...
As an old C64 nerd, this is amazing.

And... done!
@@SteveGuidi Great! And I made a pull request about the BASIC file formatting ;)
wow, this is dedication. and awesome :D

No worries. It's just semantics, your work is still stellar.
@pitfa17 Corrected -- thank you for pointing that out! Don't know why I wrote the name of the TV show 😄.
awesome!!!!
This is awesome 👏🏽
Steve - Wow!
Welcome to the channel, Kash! 🙂
