Members wkendhacker Posted October 17, 2012 Members Share Posted October 17, 2012 List'em. I'm doing some old classic "rock" stuff, like Beatles, CSN, some more soulful older stuff, some stuff done as recently as the end of the last century (doing "Better Man" by Pearl Jam, Creep by Radiohead, etc) Finally a couple things covered by and from Tony Bennet, Harry Belafonte,Ray Charles, Steve Goodman, willie Nelson, etc... Almost anything will work. We have 2 guitars, vocals and harmonies, and my partner has all kinds of magical boxes to add synth sounds like strings, etc Somehow he plays guitar and bass at the same time through one of those things... Also have a drum machine, don't know if we'll use it or not. I also play a digital acoustic or electric piano occasionally. looking to do a 3 hour setlist that I can do for the wine crowd and be home by 9:30! What songs are you guys doing that I can steal?

Members acousticdepot Posted October 17, 2012 Members Share Posted October 17, 2012 Some songs that I feel are better with two guitars:Wish You Were HereVentura HighwayFor What It's WorthAlso I have found that Mellencamp and Petty songs seem to bridge generations. You just can't go wrong with songs like Mary Janes Last Dance, Freefallin', Pink Houses, and Jack and Diane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Pitar Posted October 17, 2012 Members Share Posted October 17, 2012 These are some of the ones I used to do routinely in a duo. There were many more but memory is what it is. I think we had on averages 3-4 songs per artist. No Dylan. My partner did not appreciate the man for some odd reason. Never told me why, I never asked, either.Lucky Man - ELPNorwegian Wood - BeatlesOld Man - N. YoungAfter The Gold Rush - N. YoungNeedle And The Damage Done - N. YoungLeader Of The Band - D.

When we we just 2 piece, that was one of the tunes I played upright on. We go straight into it from I've Just Seen a Face. He sings that one and plays the guitar parts. I sing Spaceman and insert and upright solo. Since we got another bassist/guitarist and a drummer I've been trying to work banjo in on those 2 tunes.
