Patreon July 2018 Live Lesson

Havana! So catchy ... Ca't wait.

Thank you Cynthia. Your live lessons are the best. Thanks for adding Havana, I love it, I am one of those you mentioned who will obsess until I can get that rhythm right! :-p BTW at first (during the voting) I wan't too excited about American Pie because it was played **so much** when it came out in '71 I got tired of it. But during your lesson it was like getting together with an old friend, and it's a great song to play. Thanks again.

Cynthia Lin

hey jon! i felt the same way about American Pie! wasn’t sure how fun it would be to play, and it turned out to be a solid practice song full of memories :)

Wow...need a good physio massage after the Havana strum along! Like the song a lot. Not heard it before here in Oz.

Susan Alexander

What a great lesson. Oh, Cynthia! Thank you so much for making the ukulele so accessible. I am having such a great time playing with you! I have come so far! I am having a great time with my ukuleles. Both of these arrangements are wonderful. I can do this!!!!!!

Could not figure out why I was not getting any Patreon postings for months now. I had to stop playing the uke for the past 6 months due to moving to a new state and also tragic family tragedies. Anyway in moving in Dec my credit card also changed so nothing was being paid for my Patreon fee. After trying to find out why nothing was working I changed to PayPal and now I am back in business just in time to restart my Uke. It would have been nice if the website send me somekind of notice that my account was not working. Fortunately I did not need it but do now. So glad to be back. Starting from scratch again but think I will progress quickly. Love you Cynthia

Maria Mayrand

Thanks for Havana. I'm having fun with it.

Wallis

Oh my, Havana is driving me crazy but I LOVE it!! My fingers are killing me but I dont care.

Wallis

Got it! soo worth the effort

Susan Alexander

I've been working on this piece for a long time. I really appreciate that Cynthia keeps introducing us to new chords. I love this piece and I agree that it is worth the effort. I think I've got it, but whew!, it has been a lot of work. My husband can't believe how good I've gotten on the uke (thanks to Cynthia). I think I'm still not very good, but I've come a long way! Thanks, Cynthia!

Kathryn Hayes

Is there a version of the chord chart that is in final form? I wanted to play this with our group, but the download says it is not final.

Cynthia Lin

the final version is coming later this week, with the release of the tutorial video that i shot with Patrons at Uketober Fest
