{Patron-only post}
Aloha Patrons!
Welcome to our monthly vote! If you're new to Patreon, please see instructions below for voting. (also, if you're new, join our secret facebook group! email patronhelp@cynthialin.com with your facebook email address and we'll add you)
How the Song of the Month works
If you're new, here's the TL;DR version of what happens with the Song of the Month:
1. All Patrons vote! (here! see the song options below!)
2. I create a Chord Chart ($3+ Patrons) and teach a Live Lesson ($5+ Patrons)
3. I produce a Play-Along video (check out the Fast Car Play-Along, and True Colors Play-Along) and release it on YouTube
4. Upon YouTube release, chord chart is made available to the public via Gumroad, and all Patrons receive access to the recorded hour-long Live Lesson
I've just posted the Come Away with Me Play-Along video which was our April vote winner, so all Patrons can now watch the Come Away with Me + Happy Live Lesson.
Thank you all for your support in creating these higher production Play-Along videos. Here's a teaser for the Happy Play-Along, which was shot on location and has a more produced sound - excited to share it! I should be able to release that video in a couple of weeks.
About this month's vote
For this month's choices, I'm including songs from your summer suggestions in last month's vote comments, plus top picks from the past few months that I'm excited about performing and teaching. If you don't know these songs, please keep an open mind to learning new songs - 'Summertime' was our winner last month, and I was glad to hear that some people who didn't vote for it wound up really enjoying the lesson for it. I do my best to create a lesson and arrangement that is interesting and challenging for a wide range of levels. You can always choose Cynthia's choice to give your voting power to me, and I'll pick the song I most want to do. :)
Voting closes Mon 7/9 at 11:59PM Pacific Time. I’ll announce the winner and post the chord chart before the Live Lesson on Thurs 7/19.
Thank you, and happy voting!
xo cynthia.
