UPDATE: CONTACT BRIAN FOR ALL TSHIRT REQUESTS.
The surprise will only be for Challenge Champions who complete their 12 consecutive challenges by March 2018. All Challenge Champions after March 2018 will only receive a special Challenge Champion T-Shirt. Refer to this post for the surprise.
1. Must be a premium member to participate. Premium membership must be active throughout entire participation period.
2. Participants have (12) consecutive months to complete (6) challenges and post their playing on the Active Melody Forum as specified in each individual challenge posted by Bryce (Bryce-AKguitar). The time period starts when a member submits their first challenge response on the Active Melody forum. You can start at any time during the year. This opportunity will continue indefinitely.
3. If you complete (12) challenges in (12) consecutive months you will earn a special Active Melody T-shirt.
4. Members can only earn (1) T-shirt every 12 months.
5. Every 12 months the challenges submitted towards a T-shirt reset. (e.g. if you submit your first challenge response in January 2017, you have to submit (5) more challenges responses by January 2018 to qualify for a t-shirt. In February 2018 your challenges reset to 0.)
6. For your challenge submission to count towards a T-shirt, participates must submit a video of themselves playing each challenge piece on either Vimeo or Youtube no later than the listed challenge deadline period on the Active Melody Forum.
7. Once (6) or (12) challenges are completed, members are to email the following to Brian at [email protected]: Active Melody Username, List of Challenge Months Participated in, T-shirt Size, and Mailing Address with all applicable country codes.
8. T-shirts will be shipped to no later than 60 calendar days from confirmation of premium membership verification and challenge participation.

Bryce Is a video link such as drop box which I use or for that matter any other link arrangement excluded?
I have just heard you say in the video that Drop box is a no go seems a shame to exclude folk on what appears to be pretty narrow grounds any chance of the reasoning behind this rule?

Billy,
I wouldnāt count yāself out on this. Your last audio posting was really good so all we need is a video of you playing that telecaster in future postings and youāre good to go!
TimThanks Tim, nice of you to say. Tbh I have no interest in video.. I am happy though to watch all of you lot playing on video… hahahahaha
Good luck to everyone taking part.

Hey nice bit of marketing strategy Bryce and a great incentive for members too!
I’m with John for the Nashville visit to jam with Brian; then I think how about trying to arrange some sort of AM Jamboree if any significant AM dates due. I realise a big financial commitment for members, but if plenty of notice such as one or two years I would try to arrange bit of a US guitar journey road trip to incorporate such an event.
Just a thought but from little acorns and might ignite some ahah, perhaps I’d also like that thoughts around the community?
Cheers Bri

Hi Brian just good to see you on the forum. I hope you are on the mend and had a great Christmas, Happy New Year. I made a similar suggestion some while ago and second the plan for an AM jamboree some time (The AMJam could be a name!). perhaps it could be set up around a Crossroads concert or similar or even a Blues Cruise maybe a group discount could be fixed up. There is a thought. All the Best JohnStrat

@johnstrat: The reason I’ve excluded Dropbox and other cloud hosting services is:
1: Consistency. The vast majority of members use either YouTube or Vimeo for video hosting.
2: Dropbox video links do not embed in forum posts. They also do not embed on Facebook.If you would like to discuss this further you can email me or private message me.
@williammillar31hotmail-com: If it helps, your face does not have to be in the video, just your guitar.
@charjo: Now THAT would be a surprise!-Bryce

I am not being forced in to doing something that I have no interest in doing, now can we just leave it at that, thank you..

@williammillar31hotmail-com: Oh wow! Billy I did not mean that to be rude! I just meant that some members find it less daunting to video record just their guitar and not their face. But I hear you and will respect your wishes.

@cliffordlance: Hi Clifford! We have stopped selling Active Melody T-shirts indefinitely. You can earn one however by participating in the challenges as specified in this post.
Warm Regards,

Wouldn’t it be simpler to just give a T-shirt to everyone who doesn’t cancel their subscription for 12 consecutive months?

Hi – a little confused on this – 6 vs 12 submissions in 12 months.
Is this correct:
6 submissions in 12 months = Standard Active Melody shirt + self satisfaction
12 submissions in 12 months = Special Challenge Champion shirt + more self satisfactionThanks!
(FYI – I’m not submitting these just for a shirt, but for the self satisfaction and/or more self satisfaction)Duncan

I’m so glad you don’t sell the T-shirts! Would kind of make earning one irrelevant!

No, no hurt feelings kiddo. was just showing that there once was an option to buy. Different colours to the T’s you guys earn through the challenges.
Enjoy your new T..

Bryce, do we have color choices? AND I’ve been very careful about the sizing choice but you know how T-shirts can be. What if I need to exchange my XL (OMG, I hope not) for an XXL? can I?

No returns unless the shirt is defective. Here is the sizing charts for the tshirts.

I think when we get them we should post a picture of it. Like Active Melody in Germany, America, China, England and so on.

Brian, are we participants in the tee shirt challenge suppose to email Bryce? just seen a reminder in latest March challenge rules.. wasn’t sure if Bryce is still a coordinator for the monthly challenges..tia

When I got mine I sent an email to Brian. He said his wife is now ordering them. I agree these instructions need updating.
I honestly don’t mind, if Brian is offering tee shirts to participants he does enough for meas it goes here.. in fact, I would rather he donate my shirt to a charity if I have the option.. either way , i’m grateful for the site and weekly lessons.. it was just the reminder thing in the March challenge.. should be updated..didn’t think Bryce would have anything to do with particpating challenge notifications either Doug, thanks,btw 304 fun lesson too.

Hey John, shoot me an email and I can take care of the shirt for you – brian (at) activemelody (dot) com

Hey John, shoot me an email and I can take care of the shirt for you ā brian (at) activemelody (dot) com
Thanks Brian, I just thought out loud/posted because I really just want to give thanks , just as you did that time donating to charity. I have plenty tee shirts to donate and as for the challenge shirt, i have two already and just grateful for the gifted shirts as a committed participant. This is my wish and thanks for lessons and kind response. I wish for you to donate my shirt to the charity you mentioned here and moved me me man,, that was so cool donating that guitar,, I have dozens of shirts to donate size large that don’t fit lol.. but idea to donate is so cool so this is what I’ll do too! thanks buddy , ep304 very fun,,played along this morning,, worked late today,,going to get into it again..good stuff as always! happy Easter Brian

I emailed Bryce in November and again in December but heard nothing. Perhaps he’s not helping out with the t-shirts anymore. I’ll try Brian this time.
