My subscription is ending next month and I’ll be taking a bit of a break for awhile. I have other commitments that will take up most of my time so unfortunately something needs to be sacrificed. I’ll be dropping in periodically as a visitor but I will definitely return.
Just wanted to say what a great time the last 11 months have been. I really enjoyed all the challenges and learned a ton from both Brian and everyone here on the forum. The support here is awesome and I’m going to miss it.
Thank you everyone 🙏.
Ivan

Hey Ivan, your playing and comments will be missed, but like you said, a break is needed.
The melody of the notes is what expresses the art of music . 🙂 6stringerPete
It really is all about ”melody”. The melody comes from a language from our heart. Our heart is the muscle in music harmony. The melody is the sweetness that it pumps into our musical thoughts on the fretboard. 🙂 6 stringer Pete

Ivan you will be missed but understand about commitments too, you take care and keep practicing any chance in between daily schedules.. but try taking advantage of winter time guitar practice,, hopefully you reach your goals and do drop in from time to time!

You both are motorcycle guys, maybe the forum members don’t know that.

It really sucks when work gets in the way of your guitar time. It happened to me, and I found that it took a long time to re-build my skills. So hopefully you can at least pick up your guitar once in a while so you don’t forget everything.

I didn’t think it was funny Billy , you know if Bryce was moderating he’s slap you like a silly motorcycle queen! lol.. just joking Billy ,, You must be on vacation or the forum quick links option featured here is fully functioning ? it is like nobody today and yesterday, not even sunjamr replies.. kinda suspicious .. been like this over the weekend too which is odd! oh well, log in see if the forums matter to me anymore too.. might just be wise too for me to take a break.

I was busy working the weekend John, did pop in for a quick nose around when I found a bit of time. It was my day off work today but I still have my old mom to look after so even my free time is premium, not that I’m complaining, Duty is duty and family comes first no matter what..I did have 30mins to mess around on my guitar so hopefully I can play something for this up coming challenge month..

Billy bless you man taking care of Mom, and for sure understand your reply.. I wish you peace and happiness always, thanks for taking your time to share whatever/whenever here on these forums..,I just wondered because not just you but many haven’t been actively participating even on other threads.. I been posting here for years and just seems less on all the active melody forums my friend.. anyway you take care and always a cool friend here with or without a monthly challenge. If I ever make it big in the music business, I’m going to ask you if you want to work with me! lol

Hahaha, that gave me a good chuckle. I’m not sure I’m the rockstar type hahaha
Yeah, I’ve noticed this last year or so that we have lost a lot of active posters. Alberto, Debra, Tim, Dave, Phil and many more, some like Martyn have become part time users, which imho is a great loss to AM and it’s content.
It’s certainly not the same place I joined 3 or so years ago. I understand that people move on, nothing stays the same forever and our needs change...Billy..

I read you Billy, it like the old sayings “time waits for no one, time to move on” All I know is I’m fortunate to make my own way having more freedom /time to choose, I do work part time these days,, it is just the way it happens in life.. we age and before we know it , we can’t do the thing we should have done,, like the Jethro Tull tune skating on the thin ice of a new day.. Anyway I still enjoy the lessons, why I stick around here for now.. probably be my last year.. i’m getting more advanced on the fret board so if I do more practicing elsewhere, I’ll likely participate less here too. But the lessons are still good enough for my level,, still plenty to learn from Brian.

Hey Ivan, good luck with your other endeavors. If you can manage 10 or 15 minutes a day on a guitar, you’ll have a lot less to catch up on.
