"Sara Smile"

I've never given Hall and Oates much thought one way or the other.  They had some decent songs, but also a lot of schlocky pop stuff, and I was never a real fan.  But I saw a lesson of their Sara Smile from one of the YouTube guys I follow (who gives fantastic easy-to-follow lessons on a lot of good songs.)  So I watch the lesson, played along, and was *very* pleasantly surprised.

It's not only a beautiful song, but it's made up of interesting, almost jazz-type chords.  With my Tele on a clean setting, it sounds fantastic, and I often go through the chord progressions just for the pleasure of hearing it.

It's a song I'll never play in a band, but one I'll play often by myself.
