lookin for songs to play (2 guitars)

smegolas · September 2009

My buddy and I are looking for some songs to play together. So ideally they would have 2 guitar parts, maybe some harmony, etc, and fun to play. If it has a good backing track out there too that would be a bonus. So far we have done Boston Peace of Mind and Scorpions No One Like You.

Im lookin for suggestions…?

Thanks

How about \"In Memory of Elizabeth Reed?\" Duane and Dicky did ok with it.... Maybe not your style if Boston and Scorpions are topping your list, but it's a great song with different parts and lots of opportunities for two guitars to stretch out, and to be tight.

I've always enjoyed \"Sweet Georgia Brown\"...
Really great tune for 2 guitars, and if done right, just swings like hell..

You could check out alot of Jimi Hendrix stuff and apply it to two guitars.
The Cry of Love album which IMOP is one of the best albums he did and least recognized, has some songs that would be great for two guitars.
If you like southern rock you could checkout early Marshall Tucker band and the Outlaws also. Jeff Becks Freeway Jam would be a good song to do harmonys with. Listen to Humble Pie Live at the Fillmore. Use your imagination and find some good riff oriented songs and redo them. Don't have to just settle for the standards. The possibilities are endless. Don't forget to write your own either.

ZZ Top. Although Billy is the only guitarist in the band, on the recordings he lays down a rhythm track and a lead track. That makes 2 guitar parts for most of their songs.
