Norwegian Wood is a simple melody with two tonal centers, one major, one minor in the same key. The phrases have very few notes and a straightforward rhythm. I think this would be an ideal choice for your first post in SOTM. For advanced players, you can do what John Coltrane did with My Favorite Things, take it way out there with dizzying flights of notes.

I've often thought there should be some 6/8 once in a while here! I concocted two versions of backing track, one 145 bpm, one 165 bpm. There's a BiaB file in case you want to generate your own style. I found that file here at the BiaB repo.
After the original Beatles version is a YouTube playlist with 15 version of the tune. After that, some creative versions from SoundCloud. There's no lack of inspiration! One commenter in the Quincy Jones version wrote, "The Beatles should be paying you royalties!" (I can't find that now.)
Let's hear some of the fruits of your labor!

Norwegian Wood
Corría el verano en la selva tropical, donde caminaban perdidos entre lianas y arbustos seis individuos completamente desconocidos. El verano era largo, los propósitos de sus viajes y el rumbo de esto
