I'm learning Georgia On My Mind with my instructor, as a fingerstyle chord melody. Mostly barre chords all over the neck; challenging but very pretty. Man does it tire my left hand!

Aul Simon's "American Tune", which borrowed from several classical pieces. I was just playing it Ths morning.

Pretty impressive IPA 53! I liked it a lot. I enjoy songs with lots of chord changes though I can't ever remember them all without charts.

A couple of more current songs, these were all helpful to me in learing to play barre chords proficiently:
  • Damien Rice, "The Blowers Daughter"
  • Amos Lee, "Sweet Pea"
  • Neil Young, "Dead Man Theme"

Fond of "Masquerade" by Leon Russell. Most recall the George Benson version, but if you can work out Leon's version, it's pretty cool. Should appease your appetite for 7th's, 9th's and maj7th's. With a key change as well. Absolutely love the chords.

"Sara Smile" Hall & Oates has some nice chord changes as well.

Thanks for the kind words.

Regarding the charts, you're not the only person with that problem:
