LET'S VOTE! September 2018 Patron Song of the Month (Patreon)

Aloha Patrons!

Welcome to our monthly vote!  (And see some of you today for our Beginner Live Jam at 4:30 PST)

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 - and see Community Notes at the bottom of this post for more ways to connect)

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!  (in this post!  see the song options below!) 

2. I create a Chord Chart ($3+ Patrons) and teach a Live Lesson ($5+ Patrons) for the winning song

3. I produce a Play-Along video (check out the new Let It Be 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

Recent Play-Alongs:

• True Colors Play-Along 
• Fast Car Play-Along 
• Come Away with Me Play-Along
• Happy Play-Along 

THANK YOU PATRONS!  You are directly supporting the creation of these higher production Play-Along videos.  I'm learning and growing by working alongside a professional video and sound team - it's such a relief to let them handle the production aspects so that I can focus on more music and arrangements.  I hope you are enjoying the improved visual and audio quality!

HOW TO VOTE -  Voting closes Sunday 9/9 at 11:59PM Pacific Time. 

1. click on the checkbox for as many of the song choices as you like below - multiple votes allowed. please note - as soon as you tick the checkbox, the vote is counted. (you can look at the ticker on the right!  sometimes the ticking doesn't work on certain devices - in this case, try your laptop or desktop vs tablet or mobile)

2. in addition, you can comment below with ONE SONG that you’d want for next month's tutorial. this will help with song choices for future votes. you can upvote other people’s song choices by clicking the heart on their comment.  upvotes are an easy way to double your voting power!  only your first comment will count, so please just one song suggestion per person.

About this month's vote - Patron suggestions from last month's vote!

Below you'll see choices that are all taken from last month's vote comments - these are song suggestions from Patrons that got the most upvotes.  Your upvotes matter, so I encourage you to come back and look through your fellow Patrons' comments to upvote.

There's a nice wide range of songs.  As always, I encourage everyone to stay open to new music, and please know that I do my best to create arrangements that are fun for all 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. :)

You may want to check my Instagram feed (@cynthialinmusic) for videos of songs that I've performed more recently for my Instagram 5@5 Live Mini-Concert Series.  A number of people have commented about wanting tutorials for those songs, so you can check out my arrangements first.

Thank you, and happy voting!
