Hi Active Melody family!
Time for the September 2022 Site Member Challenge!
Ok folks, let’s see what you can do with this jam track (created exclusively for this challenge). This jam track was created around a single note – E. Since no other notes are used, you can steer this thing in MANY different directions depending on what you decide to play on top of the E note.
For example, you could stick to the pentatonic scales if you want, and play either major pentatonic, minor pentatonic, or blend them. You could also play through various modes in E – i.e. E dorian, E mixolydian, etc. You might also try playing chords on top of the E note and create a progression on top of it (i.e. E, C, D … repeat)
I think it will be interesting to hear all of the completely different sounds that you will come up with over a single note.
Here’s the MP3 jam track to download:
Here’s a link to the jam track
**If the MP3 doesn’t automatically download (and plays instead), try RIGHT clicking on the “Download MP3” link and then choose the “Save As..” option if you’re on a Windows computer. If you’re on a Mac, hold down the “Control” key and click on “Download MP3”.
The submission date for this challenge will be Sunday, October 2 – you can start submitting Friday, September 30
**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, September 30, through Sunday, October 2, 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 “September 2022 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.
