June 2026 “Two Chords Only” Challenge Responses Consolidated

[JoLa]

The June 2026 challenge was to: “keep it simple: use only two chords for your entire piece. Any two chords you like, any style, any key. The goal is to see how much musical expression you can create with limits, through rhythm, dynamics, phrasing, and feel rather than relying on chord changes”.

The Active Melody site member challenges are open to players of all skill levels. Thanks everyone for leaving friendly and encouraging feedback on each others’ submissions and thank you Brian for keeping us motivated!
