Hi Everyone,

This Community Challenge is write something in harmonic minor.

WHAT IS A COMMUNITY CHALLENGE?
It's an opportunity to use what you're learning to do what all your favorite musicians do: make music!

If you've never "made music" before, the point of these challenges is to set the bar very low. No need to write a whole song. No need to write a verse and chorus. Just write SOMETHING. The equivalent of a napkin sketch. Write something and record it to your phone or to your recording software and upload it to the community forum.

I'm switching to every-other-week Community Challenges to promote more community involvement by giving a little more time between challenges. I'm also switching from text to video so I can do a mini lesson about the topic before diving into the challenge myself! I'm still playing with the format, so expect these videos to have a different vibe to them as I settle into the ideal method. Feel free to comment below if you have any ideas for how to make these community challenge videos more engaging.

Check out the Lesson Archive for more Community Challenges - you’re welcome to participate on any past Challenge at any time!

Is it only the v chord that gets messed with (as an option) even though the III chord and VII chord contain the #7?

BTW - as a Logic Pro user- I like that you let us see you develop a song in Logic Pro. Two lessons in one. Thanks
