Topic: Easy 2-Guitar Songs

Hello Fellow Chordites.

Recently I have been playing/teaching simple guitar songs with a friend. My skill sets are lower-itermediate, his skill sets are novice. I have been concentrating on playing songs with basic open chords (G, C, D, A, E) and simple variations (minors, 7, 9).

I am looking for songs that are split for 2-guitars.
Example:
Guitar 1 strumming a chord pattern
Guitar 2 using a picking pattern

or

Both guitars strumming chords using different strum patterns

etc.....

Suggestions?

Re: Easy 2-Guitar Songs

Wonderful Tonight comes to mind.  The one guitar playing straight arpeggio and the other guitar playing either a soft strum or even just doing the solo melody you'll see in a full band.

Here's a version, but not the one I was thinking of:

The other idea would be both of you strum a song and one of you puts Capo on so you're playing different voicing but in same key.  For example Alan Jackson's "It's 5 O'Clock Somewhere"  with first guitar open playing and the second guitar has capo on 2nd fret and plays same chords two steps down. 

Good luck.  It's def cool to play along with other.
