Doug DeVries lays down – the Challenge – Can you learn this chord sequence and then use it to accompany Doug playing the melody in the video. Then video yourself doing it and post it as a video response on youtube? No clues provided. You are equipped only with your ear as a compass and your pulse to sync with the maestro over the rugged terrain of this melody in a frenzied pace to the finish line. The piece is called the Humming Bird.

I liked Doug’s idea so much I gave it its own category in the menu just in case any other Melbourne musos wanted to lay down the gauntlet and issue their own musical challenge. Any video responses to Doug’s video that are truly inspired I will post on this site. Leo
