I'll throw out a challenge.....I was so inspired by MarkM's beautiful open G noodle that I thought I'd attempt to add a melody of sorts to it. And I thought, others could either: (1) play along with Mark's video (creating their own melody), (2) sing along with Mark's video (which would require writing some lyrics and a melody), or (3) create their own OpenG noodle.
Here's my attempt:
Challenge Number 4 - MarkM's OpenG Noodle
Daryl,
Pretty cool stuff there. My brain works with the chord progressions and rythm but I'm lacking on the creative ability for lead work. What you did in such a short amount of time is really nice. I'm curious if what others come up with as well.

Mark, Start with a single note that works and try different patterns with that note. For example, an 1/8 note followed by a half note, or a triplet followed by 2 quarters, etc.. Then find 3 or 4 notes on the neck that don't clash. Certainly, the G B and D notes will work, and try different patters using those notes. Eventually, something will sound good to your ears. And then find another "phrase" and combine the 2 phrases......go for it!
Daryl,
I like what you're doing here. It's a nice way to build on Mark's beautiful foundation.
This is a cool idea for a challenge too, especially as Mark's piece gets the brain rolling on possibilities and then you demonstrate how effect a few notes can be. I'll be watching with interest and ... Well you never know, I might just play too. We'll see.
Very nice.

Thanks all. I hope someone else will step up to my challenge.
Here's a new addition to my attempt. Using REAPER I can make my guitar a MIDI input device, so I've added a backing cello to my melody. I was just doodling around so I really don't have anything worked out yet (as to how to properly enhance the melody with a string section) but you'll get the idea......
