Hey Meron,

1. Collaborative challenges : I've noticed that my entries really benefit when I've had someone have a listen to what I've done and give me some feedback before I enter it. So to this end, how about teaming up with a someone (GFSA'er, band member, family, friend) for a challenge? Perhaps they'll be a performer, co-composition, production (just having a listen and making objection comments as a layperson is far more useful than you'd think!)...
Awesome idea!! Now my bassist friend will have something to do other than drinking and mumble things about him keeping the groove... ?

2. Other kinds of challenges : A modified mini challenge for jamming - two tracks, one percussion/metronome and one rhythm instrument (bass or guitar) - that is a loop for jamming to. This could lead to a 2nd challenge using the jam track as the basis? Or a sound design one, E.g. make a killer metal/blues/ambient/bass tone and share the process.
Great! It will help me develop new skills.
January idea: Since January is back to school for the kids and students. Maybe we should all try and learn a new skill, whether it is in the DAW, a new playing style, an unfamiliar genre, bends and hammer-ons for noobs, etc. and do something with that new skill.
