Edit: I just saw Justin has added 3 Little Birds to his site, which would probably be a good song to do an arrangement for.]]> Guitar Players Discussion Kroikey https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/guitar-duet-with-a-complete-noob/#post-315112 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/guitar-duet-with-a-complete-noob/#post-314966 Sat, 29 Nov 2008 20:36:06 +0000

how about Margaritaville - https://www.guitarnoise.com/lesson/margaritaville/
It's got D, A, A7 and G - one of you can play the chords, the other the walking bassline. Or perhaps 2 different strumming patterns. Or one plays chords, the other an easy fingerpicking patterns.

Another very easy song is Get Back (Beatles) - it's got the regular chords (only 2 or 3 I think), and you can play a shuffle pattern along with it.

Most of the songs here on GN are suitable for 2 players.

The one I like to play in a duet is House of the Rising Sun - but it unfortunately has the dreaded F chord in it.

Have fun, it's great playing with somebody else, adds a whole new dimension to it.]]> Guitar Players Discussion bloos66 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/guitar-duet-with-a-complete-noob/#post-314726 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/guitar-duet-with-a-complete-noob/#post-34158 Wed, 26 Nov 2008 13:28:46 +0000
Now my problem: My gf has picked up my guitar while I've been at work, and shown an interest to learn (Guess she's impressed with how far I've come). All great things! Except now she has to have complete silence, with the TV off and I'm not allowed to play - all while she gets to grips with the open chords and string jumping. Its driving me mad already lol.

Anyway, I've given her Dolly Partons Jolene (Am x2, C x2, G x3, Am...G, Am), which I thought was good practice for some of the open chords. She can play a C, D, E, Em, G, A and Am, very slowly :) I'm amazed she's picked it up as quickly, maybe I'm not as far ahead as I thought lol.

I also gave her a string jumping exercise I made up based on Paint It Black which I found useful to jump start my co-ordination: e------0----1----3----1----0--------------- B-3------------------------------3--------- G------------------------------------------ D---0----0----0----0----0----0------------- But what I really want, is a simple duet song, or a good song using two guitars with one of those being a simple chord progression. I'm trying to get us jamming together a bit earlier, to help keep her motivation up and my sanity intact :)]]> Guitar Players Discussion Kroikey https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/guitar-duet-with-a-complete-noob/#post-34158
