Comments on: What’s a good song that a singer and an acoustic guitarist could do? http://www.thepalenimbus.com/guitarist/whats-a-good-song-that-a-singer-and-an-acoustic-guitarist-could-do Thu, 15 Apr 2010 12:43:59 -0400 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: barco http://www.thepalenimbus.com/guitarist/whats-a-good-song-that-a-singer-and-an-acoustic-guitarist-could-do/comment-page-1#comment-3776 barco Sat, 31 Oct 2009 23:58:59 +0000 http://www.thepalenimbus.com/guitarist/whats-a-good-song-that-a-singer-and-an-acoustic-guitarist-could-do#comment-3776 I do this all the time and you can use just about any piece that you can play and she can sing. I like that list that Silver Moon gave you.. there are some really good songs there... so here are a few more to you to look at.. and these are ones I've actually done the guitar/female solo with. A NEW LIFE... Jekyll and Hyde AS LONG AS HE NEEDS ME.. Oliver (watch the key change) BEFORE THE NIGHT ENDS.. It's a Leslie Mills number COME AWAY WITH ME.. It's a Norah Jones number FOOLISH GAMES.. It's a Jewel Number I DREAMED A DREAM.. Les Miserables (very effective when done with a guitar) Here is one that I just added a few weeks ago for a friend who was in a local talent contest.. It's the SPANISH version of I FEEL PRETTY from West Side Story... "ME SIENTO HERMOSA" I MISS THE MOUNTAINS.. Next to Normal and THIS WAS WRITTEN and PLAYED ON BROADWAY as a FEMALE SOLO WITH GUITAR ACCOMPANIMENT. LOOK TO THE RAINBOW.. Finian's Rainbow MEMORY.. Cats SEND IN THE CLOWNS.. A little night Music.. this can be very powerful when done with female solo and guitar SOMEONE ELSE'S STORY.. Judy Kuhn (a really pretty ballad) THE ROSE.. A Bette Midler song and a show stopper if you do it right YOU RAISE ME UP.. it's that Brenda Graham/Rolf Loveland song that Josh Groban made famous and was used for a commercial by the Humane society... I played this on guitar with my niece singing at a talent show last winter and she walked away with First Place. WISHING YOU WERE HERE AGAIN.. Phantom of the Opera.. The success of this song is using a classical guitar and if the female singer has a bell like voice.. it can be another show stopper if it's done right. Good Luck. Usually I don't go into this much detail in any reply, but I've been where you are going and I hope I have been able to give you some hints.
