that is so awesome i can't believe it. i'm gonna transcribe the sequence and turn it into a killer guitar solo.

I think there's a fair bit of weirdness going on around here...

Mr John, I presume you know what I'm talking about?

Jack, I am you 30 years from now.

Or something.

Man, that is awesome.

That's actually, a little like what I was trying to achieve in talkin' 'bout the way I fist your grandmother, but they did it much more awesomely.

Is there some way you can get rhythmic variation in there? Maybe have each note held for a user defined length of time multiplied by the nth integer... That might get a little boring though, maybe you can have the note defined by pi and the duration defined by e, or root two... The Fibonacci sequence could make for a very long guitar solo by the time you get to the 10 thousandth note...

Or have the note length defined by the numbers of "e".

yeah, or have the notes decided by the pi sequence and have the length of each note decided by the roll of a twenty-sided die.

if i had said 'd20' would anyone have known what i meant?

Sadly, yes. Though I only played twice, in year 6.
