Ive been pondering the question about renewing my subscription for another year here on Active Melody, 2020 has been something of a strained year for most around the world, its certainly left me with me with bumps, bruises and tears before bedtimes.
Im way behind where I should be as a guitar player, though in writing that I have to say that I am a heck of a lot better at playing guitar than I was way back in 2015 when I pushed open the forum doors of Active Melody.Year 6 subs are due today for me, I honestly was in doubt, but what would I do without AM and all you supportive people in my guitar struggling life…
So, you guys and girls have another year of me…Im starting to feel sorry for you lot already hahahahaha..Billy..

Just think Billy if you didn’t renew your membership, you’d be constantly wondering what we’re all doing when you’re not there. So yes, I’m glad you’ve decided to renew and anyway, what would we do without your humour on those dark miserable wet winter days. Let’s now all look forward to a much much better 2021 with your company.

Hàhahaha thats the best laugh I’ve had this morning John.
When all is said and done, Active Melody forum is a comfortable place to be, Brians instruction style is in the main even paced, though there are times when i wish he would just take a pause when it comes to a section which i cant follow cos im too busy trying to untangle my fingers hahahaha.The cost of Premium menbership is excellent VFM when you compare it to the likes of TruFire, Stitch method or any of the other hundreds of online guitar tutelage sites.

Hey Billy
What are you doing up this time of night/day LOL
Anyway, I sitting here drinking some English breakfast tea that was given as a gift and started to dream off a bit.
And much to my surprise the dream was about your guitar talking to you about re-upping your subscription to Active Melody. So I guess you answered your guitar.Hey would you believe up north they had over 3 feet of snow. We will get snow on Dec. 30 th . Usually less then a foot. Mountains, a lot. Hope the bears stay up there. We go wild pigs that come out at night. I throw left over noodles on the ground and in morning time the noodles are gone. I guess I got them trained pretty good, but they are dangerous.
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

This forum always confueses the heck out of me as I cant quite figure out which time zone it posts in.
No snow here again this year, We are back in lockdown once again, a new strain of the virus has seen to our freedoms to roam..
Talking to my guitar, that would leave the air a tad blue.
Noodleing Pigs, I bet those tunes bring home the bacon hahahahaha..Billy..

I agree with John(Charjo). You have to think of the community here. Perhaps a scholarship is due in your case.
You keep the rest of us in stitches. No quitting allowed.

Congrats on your renewal Billy. Who really knows where we should be as guitar players. I can say I am jealous of the long time members of this site. I wish I had started 6 years ago. Instead, I got the crazy idea I was going to learn music notation through the Hal Leonard books. I am now finding myself working through some LEG lessons. Brian’s older stuff is pure gold.

Oh 100% on the LEG & BLG lessons being pure gold.

Hey Billy, where are the BLG lessons. Are they the 10 year old lessons on YouTube?

At the very bottom of the home page mate.
Scroll all the way down and click on the tab that reads “BLOG” That will take you to the early BLG lessons....Billy..

Glad you’re re-upping, Billy. Always enjoy your contributions. It’s been a bad year all around but hopefully 2021 will be better. And Brian’s AM lessons and Forum certainly help me get through it all.
Cheers and welcome back Billy. And everyone else. I think we need each other.-
December 27, 2020 at 2:29 am #225561
Cheers Roger, You are right we do all need each other as a sound board and for the encouragement when things are not “in the pocket”…

Glad to see you’ve renewed your subscription for another year Billy. The place wouldn’t be the same without you. Always enjoy your contributions: the musical and especially the humorous. All the best Man.

Well done Billy, good to see you getting some sense and good taste at last! I seem to recall we went though this nonsense with you last year as well. Let’s have no more of it 63 times winner!! (I don’t understand that either!) 60 dollars (that’s what us old timer pay!!!) is just a taxi fare to Gleneagles isn’t it? So I’m glad you are here for another year or two.
There are some people I need to read and listen to on a regular basis ……. Sunjamr, Charjo, Moose, Duffy, JoLa, Dieter, many others. People who make my life just a little bit richer ………… and of course William Millar ex printer, sometime taxi driver and world famous guitarist. And a 63 times champion of Turismo (What is that about!!)
Have a good New Year mate.

your friend with the hairy knees MartynHahaha Gran Turismo is an online race sim, I get to go fast in the comfort and safety of my own house while competing against other sim racing drivers the world over. Its just something to distract me, an escape from my old mums dementia which at times wears me to the bone..
Yes, last year I was all for selling up and giving up for good, Im not musically minded so struggle quite a bit with the basics at times, my mantra this year though has been “keep it simple” which seems to be working for me so far.
Its the folk like yourself Martyn along with Roger, John, Brian B, Marty to name but a few who continually give me support no matter how bad my playing sounds to me…btw, Did you see Brians (the boss)response to the last challenge I did, Mate I was telling everyone who would listen about it..hahahaha
Cheers Martyn, All the best when 2021 comes around, we will get to share a bottle of plonk in that there frence france this year im sure..ernie wise likes digestives is the next big track..

Yes Billy, you’re welcome here anytime but who knows when that will be. The health ministry in France are talking about things getting back to normal not before the autumn!
Did you see Brians (the boss)response to the last challenge I did, Mate I was telling everyone who would listen about it..hahahaha
So ……..still chuffed are we? You should be!
Stay safe Billy my friend.
