Community Hub 🗨 Just Chatting

Hello folks

I need your opinion :slight_smile:

Would be interested in an another AVOYP community topic just like the one we do for Christmas ?
This time the theme would be : SUMMER !

it would run from July to the end of august and anyone would be able to share an AVOYP
the song played must be related to the theme : summer !
a song about the beach , the heat , travelling , whatever makes you think about summer ^^

You can share any type of songs , traditonal songs from your countries , pop , rock , metal , non christian songs , etc ,
electric , an acoustic , a uke , pots and pans … anything is welcome !

all levels are welcome as usual :slight_smile:

Would you like to participate ?

Deborah - let me begin by saying it’s a brilliant idea, and I’ll gladly participate. Just one question: by AVOYP do you mean our entries should be covers, or do originals count as well?

very good question indeed

you can play whatever you want , so creating your own song is perfectly ok as long as it is related to the theme ^^

I just cant wait to hear it !

If I had an electric guitar, I already know which Alice Cooper song I would play (something about a school closed in summer :smiley: ). But even with my acoustic guitar, I could contribute something at a beginner level. Thanks, Deborah, that’s a great idea. All the best to you.

then you have to play something sunny for BLIM and for summer AVOYP

I will talk about it with my teacher in 2 weeks
but I may have a very good excuse if I cant participate

next month , I will undergo 2 surgeries , one for each legs
and I really dont know how it will impact my practice afterward
the doc told me to not stand up too much ( and I stand up for playing :confused: ) for at least 3 weeks
10 days minimum he said but thats because he saw how disappointed I was

Maybe Ill be able to play like I always do , I just dont know

I ll ask my teacher which easy song we can find ^^
something that dont require months of practice at least

Im glad to know you ll both participate !

this one is a good candidate for a “school" theme too

For us Antipodeans, in the southern hemisphere, July-August is Winter. :zany_face:

A song I’ve been working on lately certainly evokes summer: Night Moves by Bob Seger. In fact I just finished playing it about 5 minutes ago.

Great idea. I‘m in!

I’m keeping my fingers crossed for you surgery and rapid recovery.

Mine would be “Here comes the summer”. The undertones.

so its hard to do another winter related theme topic since we do celebrate Christmas at the same period ( I mean we probably have the same songs like winter wonderland for example )

as a Southerner yourself what would be the themes you d have in mind for a winter in the south ?
the cold ? the rain ?
