This is one of my all time favorite tunes from my childhood.
Every time I listened it seemed too impossible to do a solo arrangement, but a few days ago it clicked!
The most famous version of this song is from the album "Minute by Minute" and in 1980 it received Grammy Awards for both Song of the Year and Record of the Year.
It was composed by Michael McDonald (who sang for the Doobie Brothers at that time) and Kenny Loggins.
This was CONSTANTLY on the radio in NYC (and I presume the rest of the USA).
There have been many versions actually!
I am just finding this out...some famous folks who covered this are:
Kenny Loggins (jeez he wrote it!) Aretha Franklin Dionne Warwick George Michael
Are you feeling "stuck" in pentatonic boxes and scales when you are improvising?
Want to break out of them and get some fresh, new ideas into your playing?
This lesson will help you do exactly that. And it's easier than you think...and all you'll need is your ears!
------
In this lesson, I'm going to give you ONE NOTE to help you break out of the typical pentatonic scale / box. If you feel you are in a rut, this will take your guitar playing to a whole new level.
Grab your guitar, and play along with the examples!
Enjoy!

String Measurements Below - expand this text!
So many of you ask which guitar I play - so here is the 2013 answer to this question!
I describe why I like it and what it does best in this video.
Maton Website Official EBG808C Michael Fix Guitar Page

Here are my string height measurements.
1st, put a capo on the first fret.
The measurement at the 13Th fret is: Bass = 4/64, Treble = 3/64.
The measurement is from the top of the 13Th fret to the bottom of the string.
Enjoy!
