Hi Active Melody family!
Time for the March 2024 Site Member Challenge!
For this month’s challenge I thought it would be fun / interesting to have you use the CAGED System to create a rhythm or lead using a minimum of 3 chords (in 3 of the CAGED positions). You can use the information from the recent CAGED System mini-series (EP556 – EP560) as a guideline.
The idea is to play a rhythm, lead (or even solo composition) and then be able to articulate which positions you used. You can do this at the end of the video… or even with text on-screen if that’s easier. I think this will be helpful to both you and those watching your video, so that we can learn from each other.
If you are using a jam track, you can use any ActiveMelody jam track, or even create your own.
The submission date for this challenge will be Sunday, April 14 – you can start submitting Friday, April 12
**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, April 12, through Sunday, April 14, 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 “March 2024 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. 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.
I look forward to seeing everyone’s posts! 🙂
