        Thank you, Brian! Thank you as always, JoLa, for all of the help with these.

        This was a great Challenge. 72 people participated this weekend, 11 fewer than last month’s 83, still an excellent turnout (and Martin G. checked in). Every last person who I heard sounded good or great!

        Welcome to the 2 new Challenge participants, Manfred M and Tim R.! It’s good to have you here! Welcome back to everyone on their second, third and thirtieth challenges! If you’re into building your guitar playing skills, you’re in the right place!

        While we’re talking about stacked chords, the notes they lead us to are called the tensions or extensions, the color tones. If you hear people talking about those, they’re talking about the same tones we arrive at by stacking.

        I’m sorry if I missed any new participants or if I missed posting anyone’s video, missed some information (like a title) or if I got something wrong, please let me know, I’ll be happy to fix it.

        To all new participants, in addition to “welcome,” if you would like to use the messages, please first send a friend requests to the people you want to communicate with. You need to be friends to exchange messages.
