I just started messing with Al Stewart's "Year Of The Cat".
I can't do the big, lush solo section alone but, the rest of the song has cool chords, a couple of surprise changes, and the signature riff is awfully easy given it was written on a piano.
I'm headed to that open mic night on Thursday and I'll do this one. I know nobody else is going to.
