A Melody Each Day

Join our unique and fun composition challenge this month!

Stretch your imagination

Each November on CCG, members are challenged to compose a short melody each day of the month based on a prompt like “major,” “modal,”“insects,” “mountains,” etc.

A lot of guitarists suffer from writer’s block when it comes to composing, but with this challenge you’ll compose in new directions.

The video below is a compilation of various members playing some of the excerpts they wrote in 2022. I hope you appreciate the beautiful variety and diversity from each member. Some give explanations of their process, while others let the music speak for itself. Please enjoy! Huge thanks to Trisha for putting the video together and to all the members who recorded their excerpts!!


Don’t miss out on this exceptional and unique challenge:

  • Compose a whole library of fresh and original ideas

  • Learn how to compose great melodies

  • Be inspired by other members and their work

  • Learn how to use notation software (Musescore) with tutorials provided

  • Great way to start composing if you’ve never tried

  • Only takes place once each year


Some examples from this year:

Stepwise: by Colleen

This melody makes you feel like you’re taking large steps through the repeating leaps of each note. The harmonic progression outlines the circle of 5ths - G-D-A-E-B-F#

Modern: by Ilay

This prompt inspired members to go into some very creative directions! Ilay spelled out the word ‘modern’ to create a melody. You can play the notes from left to right, or in the order that you would write the letters in, or in any order you like!
