Hey The Intended:
IYCRMM is a song that I was going to play for the very reason you suggested. I figured that people enjoy songs that they recognize. I thought that perhaps I could catch the audience's attention with IYCRMM and once they are listening, eventually try out one or two of my own songs. Problem is that IYCRMM is not one of my favourite songs to play. Nothing wrong with it, its just that I like the songs with a more lilting picking style (i.e. Don Quiote).
Cathy Cowette recently wrote down the tab for IYCRMM for the way she plays it; you might want to ask her for a copy. She combines the rhythm part with some elements of the lead including the familiar riff, making the song sound more like the original and probably making it a bit more interesting to play. (But I don't disagree with you regarding the appeal of DQ).
