Hi Active Melody Community!
We have had an amazing 2017 that contained a great deal of progress in our journey in learning guitar. If you doubt this, go back and look over your videos. We are all improving leaps and bounds!
For those of you new to Active Melody, recording yourself while doing these challenges is a great way to document your progress. I highly encourage it.
This month we are doing an Open Challenge. You can select any lesson on the site (including micro lessons) that you have not previously recorded and complete it by the deadline below.
YOU PICK THE LESSON!!!
**If you need assistance with how to record yourself and post to the forum see this post and/or private message me and I will be happy to help you out.**
_______________
GOALS FOR MEMBER CHALLENGE:
1. All Playing Levels: Have Fun! Play the lesson as Brian shows in your chosen lesson or do your own take on it.
2. Participation Goal: 50 Active Melody Member Participant Videos/MP3 posted.
_______________
GROUND RULES FOR PARTICIPATION:
1. Post your Youtube, Vimeo, or Soundcloud links of you playing your chosen lesson anytime between Friday, January 26th till Sunday, January 28th, 8:59pm AKST (UTC -9) . (i.e. The last weekend of January.) ☺ 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 Submission” forum. Title your posts “January 2018 Open Challenge Response – [Your AM Screen Name]”
3. If you submit more than one video or audio link for your challenge submission, please indicate in your challenge post which link you want to be added to the consolidated post. I will pick my favorite if one is not indicated. Only one video or audio link per member will be posted in the consolidated post. This saves me time and allows me to see more of my family on challenge submission weekends.
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. In my opinion, 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.
