I would like to say thank you to Tonebase and Ashley (Ash) for running this composition challenge, it was a lot of fun and I enjoyed it a lot. I also want to thank all the fellow composers and guitarists, it's awesome to see all the ideas and discussions running here. Last week has been very busy for me and I was not in a mental state to complete my assignment, so there is two sketches for this week. My goal with this challenge was to compose, score, record and film one sketch for each of the four weeks and I think I finally was able to completed the cycle!

Well if you're hungry, I finally finished my variations on On Top of Spaghetti. I found taking a break from it for several days helpful for overcoming my block. It's playable, but some of it is pretty challenging for me. If I am able, I will try to record myself giving it go on the guitar. For now, you get the cheesy (pun intended) MIDI piano. I also apologize for the messy score. I simply didn't feel like taking the time to clean it up. (At least I didn't spill any spaghetti sauce on it!)
Just curious - is this a song that people outside of the United States know?
