Participate in the November 2025 Challenge!

Hi Active Melody family!

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

For this month’s challenge, submit a guitar composition of your favorite Christmas song. You can use any of the 12 ActiveMelody Christmas compositions (link below), or you can create your own composition for whatever your favorite Christmas song is.

You can play it solo or with a full band (jam track), acoustic, electric, fingerstyle, slide, etc. However you want to do it!

Here’s the link to the ActiveMelody Christmas guitar lessons, feel free to do any of these for this months challenge.

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, December 7 – you can start submitting Friday, December 5

**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, December 5, through Sunday, December 7, 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 “November 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! 🙂

Cool! I’ve been learning a solo Christmas song arrangement each year for the past couple of years and have worked a few of them into the challenge submission. It’s a nice thing to share with friends and family on socials too.

I assume there will be a new Christmas song this year. 🙏
