We talked about starting a forum challenge or activity in 2020.
Here is one suggestion: We take turns in suggesting a backing track and maybe 4 bars soloing to get started, then we make a recording of a single chorus and share on the forum. I don't mind going first; I would pick a Fleetwood Mac song I've worked on, find a suitable backing track online and pick a few ideas from it - that way I don't have to wreck my brain coming up with stuff myself to get started.
Can we do a challenge every two weeks and not over-do it - we just wing it and share it privately for forum members to see? If we wait a month every time, I am worried we will lose interest. My hope is that it would only take one or two nights of practice.
Then next time Rich will pick something out of his lessons. And we can also pick stuff out of the books.

That sounds good, post a backing track and tell us what the chords are (because some people - like me - can't figure it out otherwise ) and we can experiment around with different ideas over it.

I'll give it a go. I don't care what the chords are, it won't affect what I play.

If it's once a month I'm in.
Any more frequent than that and it's too frequent IMHO. A monthly thing also give people more time to plan/record. It can take me a while to find a date to actually record something sometimes.
Also - is the playing improvised or written/planned?

No, in spite of our good intentions, we didn't get started. I was suppose to prepare something, but I haven't had time to wrap up something decent. And that probably won't change within the next couple of months.

I have a that Santana hooker tune I have been working on I can try to lay a decent backing track and a couple of the licks. See where it goes.
