Community Challenge 17 | Hammer-ons (Patreon)

New here? Wondering where to start? Click here

Hi Everyone,

Every week I post a Community Challenge. This is an opportunity for my Patrons to explore writing music. Sometimes it's about applying some specific music theory concept. Sometimes it's about a specific technique. Sometimes it's an exercise in limiting yourself to some really specific parameters. Other times it's about writing from a very open ended writing prompt.

The goal is to practice being creative and actually use the music theory you've been learning here on my Patreon. In my opinion, the whole point of learning guitar is to express yourself musically.

This week's challenge is: Write something using hammer-ons

Post your creations on the community forum. 

The easiest way to participate would be to write a melody or chord progression that includes some hammer-ons. Then record that to your phone. No need to get fancy.

If you want a little more of a challenge, you could write both a chord progression AND a melody using recording software. Or a whole song. This particular challenge is pretty open-ended! Have fun with it.

The only rules are:
1. You must write something after reading this post
2. Your writing must include hammer-ons

I don't always participate (it's fun to let the community do it's own thing) but today I'll be going live at 4pm EDT to do my own version. I'm doing it live just so folks can hang out and ask questions while I'm writing if they would like to.
