        Hello to all friends of active Melody.
        For the July challenge I chose to use the suggestions of ep524 creating a melody on a personal backing track in B major.
        I used all positions except the highest which took me to treacherous keys.
        Thanks for your attention, I’m listening to you all.

          Awesome composition Livio.
          Excellent playing.
          You got that nylon singing.

            That was wonderful Livio,

            The sound was beautiful. Excellent use of the fretboard.

            Well done

                Such a pleasant surprise to hear the nylon strings out again Livio. Kudos on creating both rhythm and lead and you’ve got a real groove going here. Cool licks up and down the neck and fitted the criteria perfectly. Really well played. 👏👏🌟👏👏 Keep on pickin’ and all the best! 🥸🎸🥸

                    Very pleasant Livio. Love the ‘double tap percussion’ elements!

                      What was wonderful, Livio. It shows how musical such a more exercise challenge can be. You have created a beautiful piece of music. And a great own backing track to. That was fun to listen to.

                      Take the chance to meet your AM friends on Zoom
                      The next Meetup is expected to take place in November 2025

                      There will be a detailed announcement here in the forum in good time.

                      I look forward to meet you.

                        Fantastic job, Livio! Great melodic lines with a very tight and catchy rhythm. With only one chord you can keep the listener’s attention alive, moving quickly between different melodic and groove patterns! The sound of your nylon guitar adds something dreamy and sweet. Great submission.

                          Livio, bravo for creating your own backing track, sounding great! I love that rhythm. Beautiful melody lines allover the fretboard that created a powerful relaxing summer atmosphere. I think that was your best submission.
                          All the best to Italy.

                            Livio,
                            I enjoy listening to you play. You have good command and pull great tones out from your nylon string guitar. Well done.

                                Hello Livio:
                                The sight and sound of the waterfall is a great introduction to your piece. Love the textured sound of your acoustic melody over the steady acoustic rhythm. Interesting use of the fretboard span to create your sound. And naturally, the harmonies fit perfectly. Very enjoyable.

                                Cheers, Tom

                                  Just came back from a very long walk, sat down, and listened to your submission – it just couldn’t be any more perfect for the moment! Very meditative piece, relaxing but also intriguing at the same time. I loved the rhythmic background and the cascade (similar to a waterfall) of lead notes played on nylon strings, with beautiful dynamics… Very cool, Livio – I enjoyed this very much 🙂

                                    Loved it. Bellissimo musika. The melody and the backing track combined into a mini masterpiece.

                                          Sounding good Livio! I really like that you made your own backing track. It shows your creativity and makes this piece truly your own. I enjoyed it!

                                            Hi livio , beautiful sound from your nylon string , really like that percussive beat on your backing track that accompanies a pleasing melodic lead , you pulled out some nice phrasing from all positions.
                                            Well played.
