I think a song that's generally simple would be a smart first choice. It would allow us to focus on technical issues rather than musical ones, while allowing people with less performance/collaboration experience to get their feet wet in an accessible way.

Given that, "And I Love Her" might be on the edge. There's a LOT going on in that tune, chord-structure-wise. A guitarist who isn't handy with barre chords will find it unplayable. It has a half-step "trucker gear shift key change" going into the guitar solo. I'm just thinking, if there are people participating who are new guitarists, this isn't a great song to start with.

I'm game for it though, if it's the Chosen Tune. I just picked out George's little melody line solo, as well as the high arpeggios that happen over the 2nd and 4th verses.
