{Patron-only post}

aloha all, and welcome to all the new Patrons!!  

for those who are new: 

  • the first week of the month, we vote for the monthly tutorial.  
  • the 2nd week of the month, i share a chord chart for that song (for $3+ Patrons) and teach a live lesson of the song (for $5+ Patrons).  
  • at the end of the month, i publish a Patron-supported tutorial on YouTube for everyone to enjoy.

i am working on the tutorial for last month's winner Banana Pancakes - will get it done this week before I leave for the Reno Uke Fest!

NEW VOTING SYSTEM, PLEASE READ!

Patreon has introduced their own polling function - so let's give it a try!

1. vote for as many of the checkbox song choices as you like below - i've listed the most popular runner-ups from previous votes plus a few songs that i'm interested in doing.  multiple votes allowed.

2. in addition, you can comment below with 1 wishlist song - let's please stick to this.  just 1 comment with 1 song that you want a tutorial for!  (any additional songs/comments will not be counted)

3. plus, you can upvote other people's song requests by clicking the heart on their comments - this way, if you see that someone else has already requested the song you like, you can "heart" their comment and then make a different song request.  or request the same song to give it an extra bump!

voting closes Sunday 4/9 at 11:59pm PDT and we'll announce the winner on Monday.

THANK YOU ALL for supporting these tutorials.  it means a lot to hear your requests and to know that you're all eagerly waiting to learn new songs.  

See you some of you this afternoon for the Island Strum Bootcamp !

happy voting!

xo cynthia.

I bought a Taylor 314CE guitar. I think it's similar to hers and yours. I'm still working on your tutorial for "Here Comes the Sun on the uke. I can't quite get through it yet w/o mistakes, but will someday. You're right, it's inspiring to see Gabriella play the guitar, just as it's most inspiring to see you play the uke. Thanks so much for your tutorials. You've added a new dimension to my life and to my daughter and granddaughters. I'm switching back and forth between guitar and uke, I hope it's not slowing me down on either.

I thought the same thing Susan...so I did an experiment. I made a second choice and watched the counter on the right side. As soon as I checked the box, the corresponding total increased. So I'm thinking we don't have to send...just keep the boxes checked.
