Update: Congratulations to Savannah Clarke for winning the Fender X H.E.R Signature guitar!

In 2017, She Shreds organized the first 1RiffADay, a month-long daily challenge in which we invite readers to participate by playing their instrument for 31 days in a row. Last year we had such an amazing turnout, and it warmed our hearts to see you all come together to form a supportive creative community through this challenge. With #1RAD, we hope to inspire creativity, build community, eliminate self doubt, and, of course, get you shredding!

Literally everyone and anyone! But here are a few objectives:

You’ve always wanted to play the guitar or bass, but have yet to give it a shot.
You’re planning on writing an album in 2020 and need to kickstart some ideas.
You’re comfortable with your playing but you’ve been stuck forever, and maybe it’s time to get out of that rut and challenge yourself to new things.

This year we’re doing things a little differently, and asking those who really want to see and feel a difference in their playing to commit to themselves, and invest in the community.

Whether or not your goal is to complete all 31 days, we will be organizing various events, challenges, and giveaways throughout the month to keep you inspired, connected to one another, and motivated. Submit your participation here and get clear on your goals and intentions. What do you wish to accomplish in this challenge? Also, anyone who submits their participation will be eligible to win the Fender x H.E.R signature guitar (winner announced 2/1/2020).
1RiffADay will always be free and accessible to anyone who wishes to participate. But for those who want to further commit we’re offering a 1RiffADay starter pack that includes an assortment of essentials, like our notebook and pencil pack, and a limited edition #1RAD sticker only available for those committing at this level (starter packs will be sent on January 1st).

50% of the money from started packs will fund our Gear Redistribution Project, and the other 50% will go to continuing to hire women and non binary curriculum instructors.

For 31 days, we encourage our readers to commit to playing their instrument for at least five minutes every day, sharing their process by posting a video on Instagram, and tagging @sheshreds_media and #1RAD. Throughout the month, She Shreds provides direct support through challenges, riffs from our HQ, video submissions, lessons, open mics and more to keep you inspired. Check out our winner and finalists from last year, and a couple of our favorite posts below:

For the month of January, we challenge you to spend at least five minutes with your guitar, bass, or any other instrument of choice every single day for 31 days, from January 1st to February 1st. Post the video to your IG grid or story and hashtag #1RAD.

Enter to participate here.

The 31-day #1RAD challenge takes place from January 1st – February 1st
Anyone can enter at any time and participate for as long as they want but only those that complete all 31 days will be eligible to be a finalist and win the your choice of a Sterling by Music Man instrument.
IG feed posts must tag @sheshreds_media and #1RAD
IG stories must be saved as a highlight on your page and feature @sheshreds_media and #1RAD tags.
We will choose ten of our favorite players who have submitted their participation, and completed the full 31-day #1RAD to be featured on She Shreds and voted on by our audience.
On February 3rd, our readers will vote for the #1RiffADay winner from the ten featured participants.

Just wondering if our posts are supposed to be the full 5 minutes? Or just a segment of our shred time?

This is a fascinating topic, and I’d like to learn more about it, but I’m not sure where to start. Thankfully, you started this conversation, and I’m hopeful that everyone can help me https://2player.co

My son’s favorite game is Happy Wheels, which he played on my laptop.
