    Subscribed! I completely understand why you have content for Patreon members. You have to eat too 😊! But why not the possibility like Alex Farran Guitar. He gives us the possibility to buy a specific lesson with TAB etc. Not all of his content fits me but some of his lessons do. Just an (my) opinion. I like your content though.
