Hi Active Melody members. Here are my comments for those that did the January 2019 challenge. I really enjoyed listening to each of your playing.

Richie B: simply played with a high skill of timing
sunburst (John) 2nd attempt: very creative, like the flow of such easiness in your playing
Cezary B: expression on the notes were tops
Jonathan Amos: wow, so relaxing, the snow reminded me of my youth living outside of Chicago
Barry G: soft and mellow, enjoyed listening
Dieter: nicely played, can’t really say more then that
Ivan: nice bends, that guitar sure is a beauty
Hide S: いいね　wow, that playing really sparkled
Phil: hey Phil, that was some very fine playing, nice sliding going on too!

James B: you definitely touched Roy’s spirit in your playing there
David H: really enjoyed listening to your playing

kubrider (Rob): put my earphones on this one, the notes you were playing had a distant type of sound to it, thought that was very nice
Charles B: nice 3rd’s and 6ths going on, nice playing
Lights: really got into the grove, lights
Satellite: the tone was interesting , sweet and mellow playing

snakechisler (Greg): professionally played
Martin G: powerful expressions being let loose there
Don Mati: very nicely played
JoLa: you worked the tone on that nice guitar to where it matched your feelings of the notes being played
David B: perfect timing
WBlues (Wilfried): drawing musical notes without a canvas, just letting them fly gently in the air, I also had the Akai reel to reel back in 74. Wish I still had it
Cloughie, Level 2: hey I also got an SX, nice guitar they are, playing was very pleasant to listen to
Tim W: Nice playing, Tim
graeme c: really making that Les Paul sounding so sweet
Peter A: enjoyed listening to your playing , nice smooth rhythm in your lead playing
Ieldepiel: you seem to be enjoying yourself playing that something that may have some memories for you
John H: very fine experimenting going on the fretboard
Billy: you really nail the single note melody, that is an achievement that I always strive for
Paddyboy (Pat): that was very well played
Martyn in France: pro playing there Martyn
richard t: wondering what model Gibson that is… your playing is really filled with years of experience
Thibodude: excellent timing in playing
Jeff F: strong , yet very smooth energetic playing
Jordan Sutherland: wow! Very , very nice playing
Craig S: hey Craig, now you got me wanting a 12 string, you got that 12 string sounding so sweet

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

” wondering what model Gibson that is… ”
2003 Les Paul Melody Maker. Single P-90 bridge pickup. Tone with more than usual treble trying to match the brightness of Brian’s B&G.
Had a big bow in the neck that I adjusted out with a truss rod tweak. After set up it is a fun, easy to play guitar, with that unique P-90 tone.

That’s an epic response there, Pete. Maybe you should just make a video of yourself making comments on the various submittals.

I was wondering, wasn’t for sure if it was the junior model. But the Melody Maker is a very nice guitar. The old ones go for a premium these days. I think Fender’s model is the Music Master. Funny how back in the early 60’s they only cost 100 bucks.

Steve, that would be a good idea. But I’ve never done a video before. Wouldn’t know where to start. Maybe you can help out and do the first one. That would be cool.
Thanks for your suggestion.
