June 2016 EP065 Challenge – Member Responses Consolidated

[Bryce-AKguitar]

Hi Active Melody Community!

We just reached a new record of participation! We had 35 members accept the June 2016 EP065 challenge and I am blown away by each of your submissions! We had many new faces that I hope to see again on next month’s challenge. I will be issuing that in the near future. Below are their videos/audio submissions. Please let me know if I forgot anyone.

Great job everyone of continuing the momentum of making 2016 our breakthrough year of improving our guitar playing skills on ActiveMelody.com.

Hi all my drop box account has not cleared space in spite of me deleting files and consistently claims to be full up! And so I have been unable to post a link but i will post is when I can gain space from them.

Great standard here well done every one. I had some trouble getting this together and found it more tricky than I thought.

Well done all the members who posted responses to this challenge. I was a bit surprised that more people didn’t try this on electric guitar. I think EP065 and EP066 together work really well played on electric with lots of attack.

Very cool, 🙂

[TonyM]

This is too cool. I love some of the folks and who really made the lesson their own. A lot of cool improv. Great job everybody!

I never meet this kind of community anywhere. Very unique.
Thank all of you!

Fantastic viewing so full of inspiration and fresh learning from every submission. I just realised there’s a couple I missed and need to check out!
Cheers Bri

ARGHHH!……very nearly 32 there Bryce!….just a couple of practises off!!!
Loved watching all the takes on it…..and full respect to everyone who submitted, especially those at the more beginner level…which would have been me! – they have really inspired me to get it together more for the next one. This is a great idea.Thanks all……and hopefully see/hear you next month!

So, I was finally able to view/listen to all the June submissions this morning. They were all very good. It’s amazing how each month, the submissions are increasing along with all the new members. This is great to see.

Congratulations to you all!!!

Sorry I’m late on my response to this… I just now had time to watch. Congratulations to everyone for your contributions. These are always exciting and somewhat surreal for me to watch, seeing contributions from all over the globe.

[Debra]

I am very inspired by listening to all of your submissions. Such a wonderful community and thank you Brian for the most amazing lessons ever.
What a great place to grow as a musician while enjoying every moment!
Cheers, Debra

Have no fear my friend! July’s challenge is an open challenge and you can submit your EP066.

Don’t get frustrated! Just focus on the goal. You can always submit what you have when it is due. Remember it does not have to be perfect and that your first video/audio upload to the forum is going to be the benchmark for your playing. You will improve and look back at it. Just keep practicing no matter what it is and keep at it. You will improve and start to pick up the lessons faster. I know you can do it bud! I can’t wait to see your EP066 the first weekend in August!

Sorry somehow I posted this to the May challenge so now copied here.

Hi Folks At last I seem to have figured out my drop box. Any way here is a very overdue post for the June Ep065 Challenge. Its not very sparkling with a few fluffs but it proved a bit more tricky than I initially realized..

I have also posted an updated to EP127 which I will post here. Cheers to All John Strat

I listened to each one and was impressed with the diversity of each player…well done.
I have been practicing this RIF, but don’t have it down yet even for an audio version. You all have encouraged me to keep trying.
I look forward to each lesson each week even though I can’t keep up. Lots of fun. I’ll get there some day.
