        Hello Active Melody members.
        First I want to thank Don again for all his efforts into putting the May 2019 Consolidated Challenge entries into the Challenge post archive. This takes a lot of time and work. Thank you Don.

        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
