        Time got away from me and I did this improv and put it together in a couple of hours today. So please forgive the short length and goof-ups!

        The Active Melody Challenge for September 2026 was “Pick one emotion or mood and play something that makes the listener feel it”. The emotion I’m going for is love lost and the video is a clip from Romeo and Juliet.

        I hope you enjoy it…I’ve really enjoyed everyone else’s.

        G Minor Blues Backing Track | Guitar Jam by Quist

        Tempo = 60 BPM
        Time = 12/8

        Chord progression:

        I Gm I Cm I Gm I Gm7 I
        I Cm7 I Cm7 I Gm I Gm7 I
        I EbMaj7 I D7 I Gm7 Cm7 I Gm7 D7 I

        I used my:

        MacBook Pro Webcam
        Final Cut Pro

        The sight of a touch, or the scent of a sound,
        Or the strength of an Oak with roots deep in the ground.

          Hi Joe,
          Nothing like a slow blues to bring out emotion. You played a great lead against the Quist back track! The video sealed the sad emotion..🎵🎶👍
