If you should ever want to communicate with someone privately, using an Active Melody private message, you need to be that person’s friend.
You can find the button to request friendship on each person’s profile page, at the bottom of the large horizontal photo (and, after that happens, there are two buttons; one to send a message, the other to cancel the friendship, if necessary). I suggest becoming friends with as many people as you can so you can message them.
This method was put in place to stop spam advertisers.
If you have any questions, please let me know.

Unrelated to that question.
There used to be two lessons, perfect for beginners, bassline shuffles in E, like Jimmy Reed and everyone else after him used.* I sometimes call these patterns “lump-de-lumps” (after what Bob Margolin called them in his excellent Chicago blues rhythm guitar book).Now I can’t find them no matter what I search for. I thought they were named BG003 and BG005, but I also looked for BEG003 and BEG005 (and LEG003 and LEG005), and I just poked around, no luck. Do you know where I might find them? Thanks!
*Eddie Taylor was the rhythm guitarist who refined them and put them to use in Jimmy Reed’s songs, but they come from the left hand of boogie-blues pianists, and Johnnie Temple was the first guy to record them, in “Lead Pencil Blues,” 1937.
