Question for duos?

[msmooth]

Do any of the duos feature solo songs by each member?

When we were preparing for our 1st gig, we scetched out rough set / guideline of our songs that we wanted to cover. I was worried that we may not have enough songs (we were fine and didn't get to play everything) so I suggested that in each set set we do a solo number. Mark could play a piano song that I didn't know yet and I could do a guitar song that he didn't know yet.

it worked nicely as each of us know a number of song that the other one doesn't know. It also gave us a chance to throw in some different stuff. We are going to do it again at out next gig and see how it goes. i am going to make sure I pick songs that I didn't play last time.

Just wondering if anyone else does this.

Yes, I did. We played like four or five solos each.

I recently started playing duo with another guy who has been playing solo around these parts, so we are definitely in a position to play a few solo songs each.  As it turns out, the only time we've done that yet was when my duo partner broke a string during a show at the end of a song, I played the next song solo.

We originally planned to throw in a couple of solo songs to allow the other person time to walk around with business cards, but we're just having too much fun playing together.

We've done them in most duos I've been in. It was part of the no break thing. We'd each do a couple of 10 minute sets a night. The crowds seemed to like it- it changes everything up for a few.
