Aloha, Patrons!

I'll see you Thursday, February 15th at 2:30pm Hawaii Time / 4:30pm 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). If you can't join in live, the recording will be available to replay on YouTube at your convenience. Instructions for joining via YouTube are below.

This month's Live Lesson: "Down Under" by Men at Work

At the beginning of class, we'll review last month's lesson on "I Melt with You."  Music is attached to this post.  Please post a homework link if you've had a chance to work on the tune!

I'm coming back to Australia!  Details coming soon for a Sydney show on April 7th.  So let's learn this Aussie anthem and 80s tune.  It moves relatively fast but has a repeating progression, and we can get an introduction to muting.

Download the Attachment

Please look for the orange PDF link below - the PDF should download immediately when you click on it.

Join our pre-lesson Zoom Social

If you're free before the lesson begins and would like to meet and chat with other Patrons on Zoom, join me before class for a Zoom Social from 2pm to 2:25pm Hawaii Time.  (We'll end the Zoom before the lesson, and still go to YouTube for the lesson).

Click here to go to the Zoom Social, or use Meeting ID: 876 1498 3301, Passcode: aloha.

Please comment if you're planning to join the Zoom Social, or you're interested in helping out with more Zoom Socials in the future.  Hope to see you there!

A note about our monthly Live Lessons

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 gradually layer on more challenging options for advanced players.

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. :)

How to Watch Live

2. Log in to YouTube to join the live chat, and please say hello!  I can't see that you're watching unless you chat.  If you have trouble using chat on a mobile device/ tablet, you may want to try on a desktop or laptop browser.

3. Feel free to post your questions to me, or to the community.

Thank you so much! I have not played in way too long and this is just the perfect lever of difficulty to start again. Plus: I love that song - so many memories!
