Thread Name: Two guitars and a voice?
Subject: Two guitars and a voice?
My brother and I play quite a few folk songs, his guitar and my vocals, just for ourselves. Lately another guitarist has joined us, but as we're all just beginning to explore playing together, we've been finding it hard to play together. Both guitarists are not very confident of their abilities to improvise and arrange a song. I thought perhaps we could then start with a recording that has two guitars anyway, and once we get comfortable with playing together, try different things.

Any other ideas about what we can do? Also, can people suggest songs that have two guitar parts? We've been playing songs by reasonably popular folk artists, American, British, Irish, Scottish. Some favourites are Mary Black, Maddy Prior, June Tabor, Kate Rusby, Anne Briggs, The Corries, Peter, Paul and Mary, Maura O'Connell, Joni Mitchell.
