Anyone know of any songs that can be played with a saxophone and guitar duet?

Question

My friend who plays the saxophone and i(i play the acoustic guitar) are looking for a piece that we could play together and not sound crazy. Anyone got any suggestions?

Answer 1

I don't have any specific songs in mind right now, but I would suggest looking at Dave Matthews Band songs.  Dave has a bunch of people in the band, and one plays the sax.  

You could also try playing the main chords to a song on the guitar, and have the saxophone play the notes that correspond to the singing.  That would sound really cool for a lot of songs.

Answer 2

Try this. The song is called Baker Street, by Gerry Rafferty.

listen to it. If you can sing while you play thats a plus cause then you could sing, and play and your friend could play the sax part. Really its is a great song. Hope I helped!!

Answer 3

All the songs by Quarterflash ( a famous 80s Pop rock group)

have both Sax and Electric guitar in them. The Lead Singer Rindy Ross ( Yeap...she's a woman) plays sax and sings lead vocals. They have been around since 1980 and came from Washington

Classic hits like:

"Harden my heart"

"Take me to heart"

"Find another fool" and many more

They are on both Youtube & Myspace

All their old MTV vids are on Youtube too.

You can't miss it...enjoy

i have never played a duet with a guitar so i dont know the best songs.  but i did some research and i found some really great songs.  i have heard these songs played begore and it really goes well because they are slow jazz songs for the acoustic guitar and the tenor or alto saxophone.  here they are:

"all of me"

"lily was here"

"how to take a life"

if you have not heard of these songs them i suggest that you look them up on google.  if you want to hear them you might want to look it up on youtube.  i hope i could help!

PInk floyd. Although their are other instruments in the songs, "Us and Them" has a nice sax solo and as always awesome guitar.
