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

{Patron-only post}

Aloha, Patrons!  

I'm currently in Brisbane, Australia, enjoying time with my family here.  The first show of Aussie tour at the Spruke Festival went great, check out some pics here.  Lovely to meet so many Aussie Patrons!!  I look forward to jamming with more of you at the other shows on tour!

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 (the best place to get support and ask questions) and other Patron communities.

Our September 2019 song poll winner is "Wild World" by Cat Stevens.  (The original version above with the scale riff is what we'll be playing, but here's a cool duet version with Chris Cornell - this is mostly for Christina. :) 

ps "Harvest Moon" was the runner-up and lost by only one vote.  I know people are eager for this song, so please sit tight, I'm working on a plan to share it with you soon.

I hope you'll join me for the Live Lesson for "Wild World" on Thursday, September 19 at 5:30PM Pacific Time. Remember you can find all Patron events on our Patron Google Calendar).  Patrons at the $5+ tiers can tune in for the Live Lessons. If you'd like to change your pledge and join us, click here for help on editing your pledge. Lesson info will be posted shortly to $5+ Patrons.

For tips on getting the most out of a Live Lesson, check out Patron Mark Pierce's Guest Post on the topic!

I'll share a preview of my arrangement in Wednesday's 5@5 Instagram livestream (follow @cynthialinmusic), and I'll share the chord chart to $3+ Patrons after the lesson.  All Patrons will get access to the recorded lesson next month.

Thanks to everyone for voting and sharing your song suggestions in our September 2019 Song Poll - you can go back to the poll to keep commenting and up-voting your song suggestions for next month. 

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.
