Our Patron-voted Song for May 2019 is… (Patreon)

{Patron-only post}

Aloha, Patrons!  

A warm welcome to the many new Patrons who've just joined us. Please see the bottom of this post for tips on joining our private facebook group (best place to get support and ask questions) and other Patron communities.

Our May 2019 song poll winner is "The Girl From Ipanema" by Antonio Carlos Jobim. 

I hope to see you for the Live Lesson for this iconic song on Thursday, May 23 at 4:30PM Pacific Time (for $5+ Patrons).  It will be my first live Patron event as a Hawaii resident!  If you'd like to change your pledge and join us, click here for help on editing your pledge.  I'm working on a beginner-friendly arrangement of this song, and will share some variations for intermediate players as well.

I'll also play through the arrangement on my 5@5 Instagram Live show on Wednesday, so tune in to get a preview.  I go live at 5pm Pacific time on Wednesdays - follow me @cynthialinmusic.  I'll share the chord chart to $3+ Patrons along with the 5@5 video play-through after the livestream.  

Thanks to everyone for voting and sharing your song suggestions in our May 2019 song poll - please go back to the poll to keep commenting and upvoting your song suggestions for next month.  I'll use your comments as inspiration for my 100 Days of Ukulele Songs project (which is almost at Day 50 for this year!).  

Look forward to seeing many of you online on Thursday!

About the Song of the Month

For each of our monthly song vote winners, I teach a Live Lesson for $5+ Patrons and post a Patron-only chord chart for $3+ Patrons. I then create a Patron-supported Play-Along to share on YouTube. Here's a playlist of recent Patron-supported Play-Along videos. The Live Lesson will be available for $5+ Patrons for the first month, and all Patrons will get access at the beginning of the following month. Click here to find all available Live Lessons.
