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

{Patron-only post}

Aloha, Patrons!  

First, a reminder - my Holiday Aloha Livestream on Youtube is tomorrow, and I hope to see many Patrons in the chat!  Details here.

And 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 helpful tips.

Our December 2019 song poll winner is "Big Yellow Taxi" by Joni Mitchell.  Iʻve linked to a live video above because I always like seeing an artist play his or her instrument, but you can hear the original version here, and you may also know the Counting Crows version which was very popular in the 2000s.  Iʻm a huge Joni Mitchell fan and excited to tackle this arrangement.

I hope you'll join me for the Live Lesson for "Big Yellow Taxi" on Thursday, December 19 at 5:30PM Pacific Time.  Iʻll work on the arrangement over the next few days and post the chord chart and lesson info next week before the lesson.  You can find all Patron events on our Patron GoogleCalendar.  

Patrons at the $5+ tiers can tune in for the Live Lessons. All Patrons will get access to the recorded lesson next month.  If you'd like to change your pledge and join us for the Live Lesson, click here for help on editing your pledge. 

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

Thanks to everyone for voting and sharing your song suggestions in our December 2019 Song Poll - you can go back to the December 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.
