Are you working on any cover songs

Cool thread!
My musical pal just helped me with drums and keys on my cover of Hotel California. Essentially, we now have a proper backing track for my later use on my upcoming CD. We dropped it to A minor, to suit my vocals, and I added my own bass track using my old Ibanez beater.
A little bit here and there....

I gotta learn these easy going pieces by 3/12. Using my new PRS at the moment, but might use the Yamaha 12 string. The singer is a John Lennon big time fan. No power chords here.....

I meant where on the neck? Some guys play it all down by the nut, I use bar chords for the D A and B.
[Verse]
F#m D A B F#m D A B
Jenny Jenny who can I turn to
F#m D A B A* -> A B
You give me something I can hold on to
(2nd guitar starts Main Riff x4)
F#m D A B F#m D A B

All Bar Chords Work Great Here....
I play the pre-chorus down at the nut....the rest bar chords.
There’s a reason I go behind closed door and plug into a multi effect box into headphones.
My oldest son calls me and suggests I write a rock instrumental and we make a video for it. So, I'm thinking, Ok, that could work, and I thought wouldn't it be cool to find a way to obscure the guitarist's face?
There's an abandoned train station up near his place and that might be a cool backdrop...

The Rain Song
Sufficiently Breathless
Harvest Moon
Both Sides Now

I first learned Norwegian Wood on a 12 string. It sounds prudy.
