{Patron-only post}
Aloha Patrons, and happy weekend!
Quick notes to start:

How the Song of the Month works
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, and I'll record a Play-Along to release on YouTube.
3. All Patrons receive access to the recorded hour-long Live Lesson the following month.
THANK YOU PATRONS for directly supporting the creation of these higher production Play-Along videos!
Bohemian Rhapsody Part 1 Live Lesson is now available for all Patrons
Last month's Song of the Month was Bohemian Rhapsody Part 1, and it was awesome to arrange and teach, watch here: Bohemian Rhapsody Part 1 Live Lesson. A lot of people were interested in Part 2, and really, I'm eager to finish it too, so I'm making it my choice for the month. :) The remaining choices are taken from last month's suggested songs.
HOW TO VOTE
1. Click on the checkbox for as many of the song choices as you like below - yes, multiple votes are 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. Comment with ONE SONG that you’d want for next month's tutorial. Next month's song choices are taken from your comments, so make your voice heard! Please keep it to one song suggestion per person.
3. Upvote other people's song choices by clicking the heart on their comment. Upvotes are an easy way to double your voting power! Your upvotes matter, so I encourage you to come back and look through your fellow Patrons' comments to upvote.
Thank you, and happy voting!
