Active Melody Catalogue-Possibly a better search option

[Jim Dog]

Many have commented about going back through prior AM lessons to visit a topic or learn something new. I agree. there is a vast wealth of knowledge in the catalogue of 600 lessons. However, I would like a way to pick and choose the past lessons without scrolling through all of the weekly lessons. I know there are lessons grouped in categories. But, it is still frustrating scrolling through all of the lessons in a particular category. Would it be possible to have a menu of the past 600 lessons posted on the AM website or some other means to make it easier to view the choices for my next guitar journey?
Cheers

Would these PDF links be any easier for you Jim. Not only can you search a topic or word description but you can then highlight the lessons and colour code them into categories for your own choosing plus add text if necessary with the tools available in the task bar at the top of the PDF.. A worksheet in progress.

Active Melody Weekly Lessons List (Ep001- Ep600) and other lesson lists

Very cool! I have a similar list I created on Apple Notes, and I use it all the time. Of course the comments I’ve written are specific to my own interests and things I consider to be important takeaways.

Hi Jim,

I asked a similar question about a year ago and found out there was no catalogue. I agree with you that there’s a great wealth of gold dust in the back catalogue – I go back to it regularly!

Knowing that there was no catalogue I decided to create one in order to reduce search time and it has proved worthwhile. It’s a simple list with lesson number, title (with key word ‘acoustic’ or ‘electric’) to facilitate filtering, and key.

I’ve attached a copy (Excel spreadsheet) for you to check out. It may be of some help.

Best regards and good luck with your playing.

Bob B – This is fantastic. Thank you!

I hope I’m not overstepping, but what would you think about building on this to (possibly) make it more of a database? We could make it a sortable table, add a couple fields and “crowd source” the completion of the project by uploading the file onto a cloud platform and giving folks the link to edit their portion of the list.

It could look something like the attached file when it’s completed.

Let me know your thoughts (and again, I don’t mean to overstep on the work you have already done). Thank you.
