Male/Female duet ideas?

Bethie · 07-23-2013, 05:22 PM

My dad and I are putting together a guitar and voice duet set. I have a soft, sweeter voice and my dad's is kind of strong. We're both acoustic players, so that plays into it. If you got any suggestions, lemme know! Thanks everyone!

I kind of like the idea of a duet acoustic version of "House of the Rising Sun," popularized by The Animals. Nice chord progression, very great tune, and lots of potential for being converted into a duet.

The problem with most male/female duets is that they're romantic in nature, which could be a little iffy with a father and daughter.

Anything by Johnny Cash and June Carter comes to mind. They don't come much deeper then The Man in black.

As you're doing it with your Dad I suggest not doing any Serge Gainsbourg covers.

Or she could just throw caution to the wind and do a metal version of Les Sucettes.

Billy Jean acoustic , let your dad sing it as a lead and you just do the backup harmonies from time to time
