Well , I guess I will just never get tired of the sound of the guitar...Even if I wish I would or even could :no: So I am curious about this. What can I say ?: >>> Oh yea sure, I like plenty of bands that feature 1 (one) Guitarist. We all know them. Love em' or hate em'. BUT WE KNOW THEM and hear about those guitarists often...I don't believe that , If one is good.. Than two is Better. BUT I DO prefer the sound of 2 (TWO) Guitarists playing off of each other. Wether it's 2 Lead guitarists playin' in BEATUIFUL harmony Or BATTLING IT OUT to the bitter end. OR a Rhythm Guitarist & Lead Guitar Slinger who work well together. Anything goes here , But I was wondering about any opinions anyone may have (or not) about they're Favorite TWIN GUITAR DUOES. And maybe the two guitarists that work best together and really need each other to be at they're Best..And of Coarse , does not have to be rock Guitarists :no: I'll just start by Throwing out a couple of random Guitar Duoes that I really like and believe benifit from each others presence.....STEVE HUNTER & DICK WAGNOR (Lou Reed , Alice Cooper etc.) , ANDY POWELL & TED TURNER (Wishbone Ash) , BRIAN ROBERTSON & SCOTT GORHAM (Thin Lizzy) DUANE ALLMAN & DICKIE BETTS ( ABB)...........OK , I'm an old fart. But help me out here... ANYONE ??? CHEERS ! :thmbsp:

"The magic art of weaving" is what he calls it. Two guitars playing primarily rhythm. The greatest rhythm guitarist that ever lived, Keith Richards. As a duo with Ron Wood or Mick Taylor or Waddy Watchel (in the Expensive Winos) you have some of the finest dual guitars. Playing rhythms together is sublime.

Double lead guitars (this is so obvious): Duane Allman and Dickie Betts. What a chemistry. Dickie has shown that he can do this with many partners. Duane also had some good ones, most notably when he was in Eric and the Claptones. But Derek and the Dominoes didn't last (I think Duane played one live gig, maybe two) and the guitars didn't mesh like the Bros. Besides, my favorite Derek and the Dominoes is WITHOUT Duane - the live stuff. Solo Eric at his best.

I had to separate my two posts since they were so polarized!

Mikeymax - tell us more about Hunter and Wagner. I'll have to dig out the Hunter album I have. I mostly just love listening to him on Rock and Roll Animal.

Struntz and Farah..

Combining elements of Latin and Middle Eastern music (Jorge Strunz is Costa Rican while Ardeshir is Iranian), this acoustic guitar duo's world-jazz fusion style offers an interesting blend of music.


Finger blistering flamenco guitar ...I dare anyone to try to keep up with them! :thmbsp: .....

How about the two guys from styx, Dennis deyoung and Tommy shaw. sounded good to me in a small venue like Massey hall.

I couldn't resist: if you're an old fart (like me) and you fell in love with this instrument in the 60s/70s, you likely know of Wishbone Ash - many consider them to be the founding fathers of twin lead/harmony guitars. If not, I strongly encourage you to give them a listen. This band was founded on two guitarist (Andy Powell was and still is the driving force, and Ted Turner). Their first album (self titled) is great (Phoenix is amazing). I could go on, and on, but instead if you're interested -> http://www.wishboneash.com/
:thmbsp:
Regards,
PS - make sure you to listen to F.U.B.B. off of "There's the Rub" :yes:. Been there, done that!!!

hands down, Martin Rotsey and Jim Moginie from Midnight Oil.

Max, My Man!!
You nailed one of my favorite combos. I love all their early stuff (Argus is my favorite and I love "Blowing Free") and was fortunate to have seen them live twice on back to back nights back in the early 70s. REO Speedwagon was the opener back in the pre-ballad days, so that was an added treat.
BTW, Duane and Dickie are prolly the best, but the current pairing of Derek Trucks and Warren Haynes can smoke too :yes:

Richard Lloyd on rhythm and Tom Verlaine on lead from Television. Too early in the morning for me to come up with a good description; just go listen to "Marquee Moon."

Joe Walsh & Don Felder on Hotel California :guitar: :guitar:

Keith Richards with just about anyone, but particularly Mick Taylor.
Joe Strummer and Mick Jones.
Glenn Tipton and K.K. Downing.
Malcolm and Angus Young.
Michael Schenker and Paul Raymond.
Kyle Gass and Jack Black.

Scott Gorham and Brian Robertson of Thin Lizzy

A third vote for Turner/Powell in Wishbone Ash.
Powell and the flying V with Turner on the Strat; amazing interplay.
I have an acoustic version of Blowing Free. You would never know that version on Argus could be done so well on acoustic guitar.
Another element is Martin Turner's bass lines which also harmonize with the guitars on many of their songs.
Ash is the greatest influence on my own playing and I still listen to their music more than anyone else's.

hands down, Martin Rotsey and Jim Moginie from Midnight Oil.

Used to love MO. That's a good choice.

Well, the two obvious ones have been mentioned:

'Duane Allman and Dickie Betts' & 'Andy Powell and Ted Turner'

I think those two duos Defined chemistry between guitarists. Another duo I loved listening too in my younger louder days was Rudolf Schenker and Matthias Jabs from the Scorpions.

Number One on my list is Steve Hunter & Dick Wagner on Lou Reed's Rock 'N' Roll Animal. The entire LP (also the LP Lou Reed Live) is a masterpiece of pure early-70's Hard Rock guitar "weaving."

Dick & Steve:

http://www.arrakis.es/~e.miquel/rnranimal/images/bandpics/dwagner.jpg http://www.arrakis.es/~e.miquel/rnranimal/images/bandpics/shunter2.jpg

Two choices for me. The Allman Brothers of course.

I second the vote for Television. Incredible stuff.I hear they are recording a new album and will tour. You must go see them. You'll lose your mind.

Gary

Great thread and many of my favorite duos are already named. Here are some others for consideration.

Charlie Whitney and Bob Tench from Streetwalkers. Especially on the songs Burn it Down and Catfish.

Danny Kirwan and Bob Welch in Fleetwood Mac, especially on Future Games.

Jimbo Mathus and Buddy Guy are magical on Sweet Tea.

Tom Gray and Mark Johnson weave some great tunes in the band Delta Moon.

Any body heard of the Roach Bros? Check out Take Fight and listen to the interplay of Terry Rouch and Karl Corts.

Bert Jansch and John Renbourn did some amazing work in Pentangle.

Albert Lee and Jeff Beck on a couple of tracks on Eddie Harris' Live in the U.K.

Couple of Georgia lads, Stewart and Winfield from their namesake band.

Ray Wylie Hubbard and James McMurtry are rough and tumble on Hubbard's cover of McMurtry's Choctaw Bingo on Delerium Tremelos.

And, of course, Jimmie and Stevie Ray.

BTW - I think ya got to include Clapton and Bruce even though Bruce technically played bass - lead bass that is! :D

From Strangeband -> "Albert Lee and Jeff Beck on a couple of tracks on Eddie Harris' Live in the U.K."
Well I guess I know what I want for Xmas! Two of the all-time greats playing together :banana2: I've not heard this but it won't be long :yes: Thanks, I owe ya a beer (or your favorite adult beverage) :thmbsp: I'll have to search for the other bands you mentioned too!

Is that the same Bob Tench that did the vocals with the Jeff Beck Group?

Kirwin and Peter Green also in the earlier Fleetwood Mac incarnation. Then Play On has some great work including "Oh Well".
I think they did Black Magic Woman together too which Green wrote.

OH man, wha'cha all talking about?

Steve Vai VS. The kid from Karate Kid on "Crossroads" !! :D

Dick & Steve would have to be in my Top 5 or SURELY higher "IF" I could find more of their recorded work together. :yes: I believe I've got eveything they did together with ALICE COOPER on vinyl...I've got Steve Hunter's solo Lp "Swept Away" and most of Dick Wagner's early work with "FROST" & "URSA MAJOR"(GREAT LP :yes: :thmbsp: ) ,,, But need more of their twin guitar efforts together :yes: ....mike

They are probably #2 on my list after Hunter & Wagner. Tom Verlaine (who should have been mentioned in the "Most Underrated Guitarists" thread) and Richard Lloyd's work in Television, specifically on Marquee Moon, is extraordinary.

I think that Marquee Moon is a monumental guitar album and the fact that it isn't talked about has everything to do with being considered an album by a "Punk" band. There is not another album like it. Period. With the Allman's, there were always the copycats, trying to poach ABB's style and substance. Tom Verlaine & Richard Lloyd were unique.

Tom Verlaine & Richard Lloyd:

Yes, that is the same Bob Tench who was with Jeff Beck. Some sources suggest that Beck fired Tench because he couldn't handle the competition. BTW, Tench sings along with Roger Chapman on some Streetwalkers' songs.

Fleetwood Mac had some amazing guitarists, including Jeremey Spencer, Peter Green, and Danny Kirwan all appearing on some recordings. You are correct about Black Magic Woman---odd how many folks think Santana wrote it.

The Eddie Harris U.K. session has quite a cast: Steve Winwood, Rick Grech, Tony Kaye, Chris Squire, Alan White, and others. Some of the recording is good, some of it is "interesting," and some of it is, well, indulgent and spacey. I only have the vinyl and have not heard it for some time. I believe the song featuring Lee and Beck is "I've Tried Everything."

Maybe I'm a little off course here, but what about Rossington/Collins/Ed King or Rossington/Collins/Steve Gaines or just Rossington/Collins? Allen Collins and Steve Gaines are gone, but not forgotten, 'specially 'round here. Rosssington/Medlocke ain't bad either. I know, I've gone into triple attack and lead/slide/rythm territory here, but I just had to chime in. I still love me some Lynyrd Skynyrd. Over, and out, from Dixie:)

Pete Shelley and Howard Devoto from The Buzzcocks.

Well, if Tench is that good, I will have to find some of his work on guitar.
Chapman from Family?

I think all three were on Then Play On if I'm not mistaken. Maybe Mr.Wonderful too of which I have no recollection of the songs.

If I were to dig up everything mentioned here so far, it would take me a year of listening to cover it all.
Think I'll start with Tench.

What was the Television hit that received so much airplay?
Anyone know?

Hey All , Thanks for all the posts :banana: :yes: I must admit part of the reason for this thread was so I could learn more from all you GREAT AK'ers. :yes: I know & must admit that my love for music with TWIN GUITAR ATTACK / weaving is pretty much LIMITED to Blues Rock , Hard Rock / Metal. And that any Guitar Duoes I mention will probabaly ONLY be the "OVIOUS" ones we ALL are familiar with. But I'll try to also mention some lesser known OR FORGOTTEN DUOES TOO ! (As some of you have) And being 40 friggin'9 I am ONLY familiar with the old school Duoes you'd expect. :yes: But that's why I'm here to LEARN :yes: SO IF WISHBONE ASH'S Andy Powell & Ted Turner are very high on the list of Early British "Pioneer" Guitar weavers in 1970 ? Wouldn't then , SCOTT GORHAM & BRIAN ROBERSON of ("THIN LIZZY") have been the Dual Lead Guitarists to bring Double Lead weaving to the Mainstream and REALLY popularize it a bit later in the 70's ? Also a couple of Early 70's American "Pioneer" Duoes would have to include (already mentioned) GLEN BUXTON & MICHAEL BRUCE (ALICE COOPER) :yes: That being said. I guess you have to mention BRAD WHITFORD & JOE PERRY in "73" Too ? Sorry but I guess I am pretty much limited to the hard rock catagory here because I guess it's my fave :yes: But I certainly do not want to be Close-minded here :no: So Thanks ALL :yes: :thmbsp: for you're vast knowlege & input :yes: CHEERS ! :thmbsp: mike

I guess it was one called "Stupid Question". But never went to the Billboard.
Don't ask me why. :D

Buxton and Bruce have been covered a couple of times.
I think someone mentioned Thin Lizzy's duo before also.
Whitford and Perry is new I think.

HOw about Robert Fripp and Andy Summer? Santana and McLaughlin-incredible stuff.

Well, if Tench is that good, I will have to find some of his work on guitar.

Yes, Roger Chapman from Family. Chapman and the guitarist from Family, Charlie Whitney formed Streetwalkers after Family called it quits, and recorded four studio albums and two live albums as Streetwalkers. Bob Tench was on board for the duration.

That trio of players from Fleetwood Mac were all on some of the earlier work, but I think PG was gone on Then Play On.

I have a friend at work who likely knows the Television song.

Green wrote "Oh Well" and does vocals on TPO.
The inner sleeve shows 5 members and not one of them female even though Christine Perfect (MacVie) was with the band in '69 IIRC when she left Chicken Shack.
So I guess Spencer was with them on this album.
Anyway, let's dispense with the tangent. Perhaps in the future start a thread on FM exclusively.

I couldn't resist: if you're an old fart (like me) and you fell in love with this instrument in the 60s/70s, you likely know of Wishbone Ash - many consider them to be the founding fathers of twin lead/harmony guitars.

You're welcome but I have to agree that the Southern Rock God Fathers (a.k.a. The Allman Brothers) are freakin' AWESOME :D Havin' dual guitarists (especially with Duanne - maybe the greatest slide guitarist ever!), dual drummers AND a hammond organ, along with Greg's soulful vocals, IMHO define great music!!! Even though I've heard "Please Call Home" a few hundred times, I still hardly go a week without my Allman Brothers fix :thmbsp: Wonder what ol' Dickie did to get the boot?

Did Leo Kottke ever record with another guitarist? Say, John Fahey?

Well , Thought I'd chime in here with several more "TWIN" GUITAR DUOES........I believe that weather or not you LIKE OR DISLIKE any of these bands , They surely DO or DID have a TWIN GUITAR ATTACK worth a mention : DONALD (Buck Dharma) ROESER & ERIC BLOOM (Blue Oyster Cult) , HUGHIE THOMASSON & BILLY JONES with HENERY PAUL on Rythem G (The Outlaws) , BRAD GILLIS & JEFF WATSON (Night Ranger) , PAT TRAVERS & PAT THRALL (Pat Travers Band) , ADRIAN SMITH & DAVE MURRY (Iron Maiden) CARLOS SANTANA & NEIL SCHON ( Santana 3 )FRANCIS ROSSI & RICHARD PARFITT (Status Quo) , Just several guitar duoes I thought were worth mentioning :yes: Cheers ! :thmbsp: Almost forgot about these Two. I never thought these two slingers were the greatest guitarists. and they DID oviously need each other to complete the puzzle. And they did earn millions playin' together. :yes: PAUL STANLEY & ACE FREHELY (Kiss no dought) :thmbsp: mike

I know I'm starting to sound like a broken record here, but, check out John (the Cat) Gatto and Mickey Marchello of the Good Rats. A very good example is Klash-Ka-Bob on the Tasty (http://www.russellstarke.com/listening6.htm) album...if you can find it, that is!

Junior Brown and Junior Brown. This guy is a one-man duo.
But seriously, folks...
Smith and Murray - Iron Maiden
Buxton and Smith - Alice Cooper
Downing and Tipton of Judas Priest
Bernie Marsden and Mickey Moody - Whitesnake (up to the "Slide It In" LP)
Not sure of the players' names, but the Sweet had some cool double guitar lines on Desolation Boulevard, particularly in "The Six Teens".
Likewise with Foghat and Nazareth - tasty guitar teamwork but I don't recall the players' names.

Is this restricted to two and exactly two guitarists? Skynyrd and Molly Hatchet and BOC all had guitar interplay that I like a lot but those are three-guitar lineups.

Junior Brown and Junior Brown. This guy is a one-man duo.

Here it comes again - brain working overtime - Dweezil Zappa and Steve Vai on "Zappa's Universe" - more of a guitar lesson for Dweezil than a duet/duel though;)

Let me beat the Zappa horse one more time - Ray White/Ike Willis interplay on "Does Humor Belong In Music?". I think I've dislodged all the cosmik debris - brainlock returning....................

Hey folks, don't forget about the combination of Gary Duncan & John Cippolina of Quicksilver. Their early 60's work will still give you an acid-tinged jolt to the cranium.

You know who I didn't mention...Nick Valensi and Albert Hammond Jr. of The Strokes. I know plenty of people here find the band overrated, but if you have seen these guys play live and watch the way they exchange leads and weave lines, you'd be mighty impressed.

I first got hooked on those guys in 1978 when they were playing Circus Circus in Bergenfield, NJ. They were opening for some weirdoes in wigs and fishnets called Twisted Sister;). I saw them again in 1979 when they played Bergen Community College and they blew the roof off the place! Saw them again at one of the last gigs played at The Capitol Theater in Passaic, NJ (1980) playing a full set opening for Jack Bruce and friends. They blew the roof off that place too. The last time I saw the old line-up was at Club 300 in Ramsey, an AMF bowling alley slated for demolition (still nothing built on that site after 20 years). I didn't know it at the time, but it would be the last time The Cat would play with the band. That was a two-hour set, and the crowd was still yelling for more. Damn, I miss those guys! Anyone able to scare up a copy of Live at Last, Tasty, From Rats to Riches or Ratcity in Blue won't be dissapointed, I promise on my AK membership!
"We like to play that rock-n-roll
Man, that's the only way to go
A drummer, bass and two guitars
When you're playing Tasty, you'll go far
We're Gonna play Tasty, oh yeah
Tasty Rock-N-Roll, awwwwriiiiiiiiiite!
Tasty, ooh Tasty, ain't it time to mellow out?"

Yea Bogframe , I've only got TASTY & LIVE AT LAST on vinyl. :yes: I am gonna make an attempt to pick up the other 2 also. :yes: I've always enjoyed the GOOD RATS , But It would have helped , Being able to see them live. Never got to out here on the West Coast. :no:

The Goodrats! The Best band you never heard!

Stephen Stills and Neil Young, w/David Crosby on "Southern Man" from the 4way Street Album. Just plain awesome guitar lick trading if there ever was...IMHO...
Cheers...

Neil Young and Danny Whitten (Crazy Horse) way back on the everybody knows this is nowhere album. They're great throughout, but on Cowgirl in the Sand and Down By the River, they feed of each to make a wonder piece of music.

David Hidalgo and Cesar Rosas of Los Lobos.

Roger McGuinn and Clarence White - The Byrds

Zoot Horn Rollo and Rockette Morton - The Magic Band

one of the most badassed things i have ever heard is a one off live of ratt with warren demartini and michael shenker doing creedence's "born on the bayou" stephen pearcy nails it and the riffing by both at the end is killer. I MEAN KILLER. oh and shenker smokes my boy demartini. damn germans


my two sents
vegaman

Duane Allman and any of the assorted combos with Claptin, Harrison and Dickey Betts Steeve Cropper from the old soul tunes of atlantic. Check out the Duane Alman Anthology set.

Man, I had to read thru these TWICE...Didn't see Randy Bachman and Blair Thornton of BTO :music: On the LP Not Fragile it's Blair on the right
and Bachman on the left.
Great thread.

Many years ago Larry Coryell and Steve Khan produced a GREAT acoustic duo LP. I just can't recall the name, but I have it at home! Then there was the Coryell, McGlaughlin, DaLucia trio record...Yowza!

And then by sharp contrast Adrian Belew and Robert Fripp in the 1980s incarnation of King Crimson...I saw a rippin' show in 1981 in Syracuse NY...did that Robert Fripp COOK (complete with tape loops!) with the counterpoint of Adrian Belew!

Excuse the mis-spellings!
