A friend and I would like to add some songs to our repertoire. He's an excellent guitarist and can learn anything. So please give me some songs that have guitar/harp/vocals (or no vocals)
So far I've decided to include;
"Good Morning Little School Girl"
So, let em loose! feel free to give more than one suggestion -- and difficulty level is not an issue, I've got all summer to slow it down and learn!
---------- I could be bound by a nutshell and still count myself a king of infinite space
off the top of my head: sittin on top of the world st. james infirmary love in vain virtually any jimmy reed song! summertime stranger/new stranger blues boom boom out go the lights nobody knows you (when you're down and out) ramblin on my mind my babe flip flop and fly san francisco bay blues mind your own business baby please don't go midnight special see see rider roll and tumble blues little red rooster corinna corinna kansas city blues betty and dupree knockin on heaven's door not fade away shake rattle and roll
there are more. it just depends on what you and an acoustic guitar player can sort of adapt to 2 instruments. Jolene and i play all these songs above in our duo. and more. there is also such a wealth of delta blues stuff out there that we've barely touched. in addition, we're in the middle of recording about 20 originals we've written and been playing for a while now. it is just indescribable fun to make your own songs! mind you we are not trained professional musicians, more the gut bucket variety, playing the street, small joints here and out of town, and as openers for electric bands here and there. we do this mostly for the love of it, we seldom break even let alone make a living, but the payoff to us is turning people on to roots and blues, live, in places where they don't even know they love the music until we come along! and usually we have at least a few patrons come by and compliment us between sets.
