        Hi Active Melody family!

        It’s time for the December, 2025 Site Member Challenge

        This month’s challenge is a QUIST challenge. I’ve done several collaborations with jam track creator, Quist through the years and thought it would be fun to use those collaborations as inspiration for this month’s challenge.

        You can take any of the challenges I’ve done with Quist and either play them exactly the way I did in the lesson, or you can use the jam track to improvise your own creation! This will keep things interesting, seeing what everyone comes up with.

        Here’s all of the Quist collaborations to pick from (oh, and a new one will be added next Friday!)

        This will give you something to play around the house through the Holiday season as well.

        The submission date for this challenge will be Sunday, January 11 – you can start submitting Friday, January 9

        **If you need assistance with how to record yourself and post to the forum see this post**

        _______________

        GROUND RULES FOR PARTICIPATION:

        1. Post your Youtube, Vimeo, or Soundcloud links of you playing your chosen lesson anytime between Friday, January 9, through Sunday, January 11, 10:00 pm CST. Please do not submit earlier. I think it is fun to see everyone’s posts at once.

        2. Submit individually in the “Active Melody Member Challenge Response Submissions” forum. Title your posts “December 2025 Challenge Response – [Your AM Screen Name]”

        3. Please submit only a single video or audio file for this challenge.

        4. Have fun and don’t be intimidated by these challenges!!! Use these challenges to help you set goals and complete them by a deadline. You can also use this as an opportunity to chat with your fellow Active Melody members and share tips or tricks on this challenge that you think are useful.

        5. It is better to show progress versus perfection with these challenges. So if you are a beginner and can only play the first couple of measures. That is completely ok. If you play two more measures of the next challenge piece than you did the previous one, you are on track to getting better. This is what these challenges are about…you learning guitar and getting better. Remember we are all here to support you no matter what your current playing level is.

        I look forward to seeing everyone’s posts! 🙂
