        WOW!

        Thank you, Brian! Thank you as always, JoLa, for all of the help with these. If this is flawless, it’s thanks to you. Thanks to all of you for your participation! Hat’s off to JohnStrat! This was a great Challenge! The concept really appealed to me and lots of other people (I wanted to participate, but time just got away from me, it was EP065).

        WOW! This was a very popular Challenge, to say the least, and record-breaking. There were 106 participants this weekend! Last month we heard from 73 people (71 at the time the posts were consolidated), but for December, 91 people were the record-setting number.

        WOW! WOW! WOW! Welcome to this month’s new Challenge participants, Vincent K., Mark T., Charlie, Siegfried M., Jose R., Carpa, David K., matthew a, pierro, Rollover33 (Guy), Patrick M., Ziggy S., Chris, Adam, Aime S., Tom D.! That’s a record too, 16 new people! Welcome back to everyone on their second and third challenges! If you’re into building your skills, you’re in the right place!

        I’m sorry if I missed any new participants or if I missed posting anyone’s video (if you posted more than one, I chose one, always the latest one), missed any information or got something wrong, please let me know, I’ll be happy to fix it, thanks! I only posted the EP lesson number, no titles, and I only posted one song, one video for each person (if you’d like your other videos to be on the page, please add them add them as a comment below). WOW!

        To all new participants, in addition to “welcome,” if you would like to use the messages, please first send a friend requests to the people you want to communicate with. You need to be friends to exchange messages.

          Thanks Don and Jola.
          First time you got everyone on 1 post; new method? new server?

              Hey Roger, my pleasure! This is actually the third or fourth month we did it this way. The server changed a while ago, but I just became aware of it not too long ago. We tried putting them all on one page and it worked, so that’s how I’ve been doing it ever since.

              On the thread of anything but politics, its the same also

              The melody of the notes is what expresses the art of music . 🙂 6stringerPete

              It really is all about ”melody”. The melody comes from a language from our heart. Our heart is the muscle in music harmony. The melody is the sweetness that it pumps into our musical thoughts on the fretboard. 🙂 6 stringer Pete
