Hi Everyone,

I've been doing these Community Challenges every other week to give you (yes, YOU) more time to participate.

What is a Community Challenge? It's an opportunity to write a LITTLE SOMETHING. I emphasize both "LITTLE" and "SOMETHING" to make the idea clear here:

By LITTLE SOMETHING, I mean you don't have to write a whole song. It could be a section of a song, or just a chord progression. Or a guitar idea. It could take you 5 seconds to perform. The idea is to write something new, but not something complex or difficult.

This week's Challenge is write something using G Am EM and D

Check out the video for more details and to watch me give some examples.

If you get into the habit of writing a little something once a week or so, you'll start seeing guitar differently. You'll figure out songs quicker. You'll learn new things quicker. You'll have more ideas when you jam with people. You'll be a better band mate. There are only benefits to learning to write, even if you have no intention of becoming a songwriter!

Give it a try! And post what you write to the Community Forum.
