Wanted: Song Suggestions A) Guitar & Bass, B) Guitar & Drums.

[lemonstar]

I want to play a few songs with a new acquaintance who plays both drums and bass - hes' actually a seasoned brass band instrumentalist - I had no idea that he secretly harboured a passion for playing drums (in particular - he's been having lessons) and bass.

 

I've played with a bass player a couple of times before - I'm struggling to remember what we played - I know we played this song and it (seemed to me at the time) to work really well with just guitar and bass:-

Ben Kweller - In Other Words

 

...but I'm looking for some other suggestions. So I'm after songs suggestions that we can perform with just guitar & bass and with just guitar and drums - I thought someone here must have been through this before and identified some songs that work well with this line up.

 

TIA

a song that would work with guitar base and drums would be white stripes  seven nations army    i would say you do good singing and keyboard  well done Az09

Thanks for that White Stripes song suggestion. The video is NOT me - Ben Kweller is a pretty damn good performer live and was (maybe less so these days) a great songwriter.

Hey! I'm still open to suggestions.

Thanks

since he is brass band player How about some john coltrane?

[lemonstar]

We were thinking more of songs in the pop/rock/folk category - could be classic or more recent (as though they are diametrically opposed/mutually exclusive) but he wants to play drums first & foremost and secondly, some bass.

thanks anyway.
