About 8 years ago, Larry Coryell and Philip Catherine recorded
a couple of acoustic duet albums that had very strong material.
I remember one being better than the other in both song selection
and execution but I'm not sure which was which!?!
Also excellent were the trio albums by DiMeola, McLaughlin, and
Paco DiLucia (definitely wrong spelling!).
A number of Dawg music albums by David Grisman would be adaptable to
duets too.
Herb Ellis and Barney Kessel would be extremely challenging too!
These suggestions lean more towards Jazz and swing, though!

Larry Coryell and Steve Khan did one together that had some
good stuff on it.
If you're into bluegrass check out David Bromberg and Norman
Blake doing "Arkansas Traveller" on David's 1st album. Also
Chet Atkins and Doc Watson did one together as did Chet and
Les Paul ("Chester and Lester"). Of course there is always
Doc and Merle Watson. They did mega albums together.

| 193.3 | Doc n' Merle too.. | NEXUS::DICKERSON | | Thu Mar 12 1987 16:14 | 16 |
| Homespun tapes has a 3 cassette course by Merle Watson which devotes
one whole cassette's worth to Doc and Merle's famous guitar duets.
I have the course and recommend it highly. The books are in tab
only so, if you're like me and got started on standard music
notation, it may take a little while to adjust to the tab. It is
however about the best tab system I've seen since it does provide
tempo information ( in my opinion the biggest drawback to using
most tablature systems. )
The address for Homespun Tapes was previously published somewhere
in this conference. I can supply it if you can't find it.

| 193.4 | in a different vein: | ULTRA::OFSEVIT | Sold stock at 105...sigh | Fri Mar 13 1987 09:34 | 6 |
| There are several duets by John Fahey and Terry Robb on John's
album "Rain Forests, Oceans, and Other Themes" (Varrick Records
019). Fahey is an acquired taste, to be sure, but all guitarists
owe it to themselves to give him a try.

| 193.5 | Here's another (from the Allman Bros. yet...) | DHARMA::BROOMHEAD | | Sat Mar 14 1987 23:29 | 6 |
| One piece that comes to mind is (if I remember it correctly) "Little Martha"
on the "Eat a Peach" album (Allman Brothers Band). (Duane Allman and Dicky
Betts, one on standard acoustic, the other on dobro.) A simple tune that
goes straight to the heart (at least straight to mine...).

You didn't remember it correctly. "Little Martha" is Dicky Betts
all by himself. It would be pretty hard for Duane to play with
Dicky, since he was killed, and "Eat a Peach" was the album dedicated
to him, he died running his motorcycle into a peach truck. The
loss of a great slide guitarist.
"Little Martha" is a great song, I've been trying to learn it for
awhile. It would be nice as a duet also.

by Duane Allman and Eric Clapton on the Duane Allman Anthology
album is another good one (speaking of Duane). Duet of slide
guitars....nice.

No, you are incorrect. Eat A Peach is dedicated to Duane, but the live material,
as well as Stand Back, Blue Skies, and Little Martha all were recorded
with Duane prior to his death. Only side 1 of the album was recorded after
he died.
Incidently, Little Martha is in open E tuning and is very simply to
play in that tuning.

| 193.9 | Grossman & Renbourn | BARNUM::MYERS | | Tue Mar 17 1987 17:01 | 16 |
| Stefan Grossman and John Renbourn did several duets on a live
album - I think it is called "Stefan Grossman & John Renbourn-
Live in Concert". A few of the duets that come to mind are:
The Shoes of the Fisherman's Wife Are Some Jive Ass Slippers
Loopers Corners
Candyman
Renbourn & Grossman have put together a book containing
tablature for several duets. It is available from Stefan Grossman's
Guitar Workshop ( unfortunately I have lost the address for that).
BTW, I would be interested in getting together with anyone in the
Boston area to work on fingerpicking duets.

| 193.10 | a hopefully not too obscure reference... | BMT::BAUER | | Mon Jul 13 1987 20:27 | 11 |
| I don't know if you'll be able to find their recordings in Oz, but
there are a couple of guitarists by the name of Ruskin and Ross
recording on Revere Records (California label) who do a superb job
fingerpicking relatively standard material. "Sounds Familiar, Vol.
1" is a collection of 60's and 70's rock/folk/pop covers that could
keep you busy a while figuring 'em out. They have an album of Carols
and gospel stuff out as well that I've heard on NPR but have never
seen.
