Re: Any ideas???
Me and my cuz used to do Simple Man by Lynyrd Skynyrd, I'd do the fingerpick lead on electric and my cousin would strum the chords. We used a version that had the chords C G Am....
You could always just play around with some bluesy little lead notes and have her strum in E, and of course there's the age old trick:
A
l-----------------------
l-------------------------
l------------------------
l-2-2--4-4--2-2--4-4
l-0-0--0-0--0-0--0-0
l-----------------------
which you can move up and down a string, that could use some backup strumming.
Thats A like I wrote it, you can go up and that would make it D, and down and that would make it E.
D

Minor correction here but it needed to be done. You've got the right idea lastrebel, just a wee bit off. Excellent suggestion nontheless.
Give everything but up.

About good songs for man and woman.
I can think about a few artists, but do you like their songs??
- Johnny Cash & June Carter
- The Carpenters
- Bob Dylan, always good, also because a lot of his songs are covered by women, take Joan Baez
Important: you have to like the song and be able to play. I love Bob Dylan, a real "maestro"in writing songs with only a few chords.
Don't forget: THE VOICES, they have to match playing NORMAL chords

Re: Any ideas???
I'm surprised last rebel hasn't suggested "Me and Bobby Mcgee" - great song for a duet
the beginnner might do the chords and the intermediate player a bit of lead or a simple riff. having two musicians also means that one can focus on vocals
