{$5+ Patron-only post --> now available for all Patrons}

***Note: like last month (and going forward), instead of a separate post to share the chord chart to $3 tier Patrons, I've given early access to the $3 tier on this post.  This will help keep the feed tidier as we move forward***

Aloha Patrons!

See you Thursday, February 20 at 5:30pm Pacific Time for our monthly Live Lesson. If you click on the video above, you’ll see a countdown for your time zone. (Find all Patron events on our Patron Google calendar). 

Tune in here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_r4c2Bys0OI

For this month's Live Lesson, I will teach 2 songs: "In My Life" by the Beatles + "Dance Monkey" by Tones and I.  Read more about why we have 2 songs in the previous post.

A note about our monthly Live Lessons

Please note that our monthly lesson is voted on by all Patrons, and my goal is to teach and arrange a lesson that is interesting for all levels.  I will walk through the lesson by starting with beginner-level strumming, and add options for more challenging chords and rhythms.

I encourage you to play at your level, and embrace your own pace of incrementally leveling up. You can re-watch the lesson as many times as you like.  Grasp the basics on the first go-round, and each time you review, you'll pick up new tips and techniques.  You can use this method to become a better student and better learner - by building more awareness and more patience. :)

Warming up with last month's Live Lesson:

I am 59 and recently went camping with extended family. I started playing, "Old Town Road" and the grandkids went wild! Thank you for introducing new music. I love your arrangements. So glad I joined!

Anya Smirnova

Love it! My father in law (70) still goes clubbing occasionally with his wife (69) and tells me I need to learn more of modern songs. Except the Beatles are never out of fashion for him haha

Sherrie Porter

I love that Cynthia mentioned that folks vote on a song based on how they like the Original and then they Like it once she Converts it to the Uke. BUT the opposite is Also true, just because you like the original song does Not mean it will necessarily translate to the Uke.

Marina

Hi there, I'm Marina and new to patreons but have been following Cynthia on youtube and facebook. Cynthia you are my Uke-Hero and mentor :D Your chord charts are the best! I love the percussions parts most! Sorry for all these "!" Uking just makes me very happy and the patreon platform is amazing. First day and already learned a new strumming pattern :)

Shelly Benjamin

Great lesson! Enjoyed 2 very different songs with so much learning included. You're great at explaining & demonstrating new concepts.

Barbara Livingstonsingingbarb

I love the new songs. However, I have not been able to download the music to be printed. Do you have any advice? I haven’t had problems before on my iPad. I also love how I can download directly to the Forescore music program. Thank you.

Jenny Selig

Are you having problems with the downloads or the printing of the downloads? Anecdotally, I've heard other people have trouble with tablets and Patreon. You might have better luck from a laptop or desktop computer, if you have access to either.

Patsy Walker

When do the lessons become available for all Patreon’s? Somehow I just noticed it was open.

Patsy Walker

thanks for all your work you do for us!

John Hamerslough

Cynthia I am a new patroen but started on utube in the fall with your first lesson on learning to play chords. There is a big group In Huntington VT that play together are encouraging me to join. First though lessons from your site. I enjoy the posts . Thank you for all the time you put into this site.

Sue Zimmerman

It would be helpful if you would suggest high g or low g ukulele for each song. On the music would be nice but maybe also in the description of each tutorial. I may be looking for an excuse to by more ukuleles. Thanks.

Tori Moo

Lovely tutorial. In My Life is a beautiful song, just enough challenge for me to have to work a little harder and practise more <3

Kim

I love ALL your song choices. I love all the older songs: pop, r&b, especially, the jazz standards : )

Shasha Lv

Love these two! Already put them in the "must learn list":) Thank you!
