bttrbuffalo Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 Wilco taught me so many things about music (like I'm sure is true for many of us). One of the biggest things I learned was how much I love a band with at least two guitarists. So I was just wondering what are some of your favorite guitar duos of all time. I know this is a pretty simple post but I just love to talk music and I am so excited I finally took the time to check out this page. Ok, anywho, my top three are: 1) Mick Taylor, Keith Richards 2) Duane Allman, Dickey Betts 3) Nels Cline, Jeff Tweedy Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I was a bit suprised you left out any ABB combos considering how much you contribute to that thread. Hey, is your avatar photo of Marc Bolan? Cause if it is that makes you three times cooler than push pops, and we all know push pops rock. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

LOL, yes, I think we can all agree John and George did ok. Iwas curious how long it would take for an "english wilco" (Radiohead) comment to pop up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
calvino Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 Thurston Moore and Lee Ranaldo. Richards and Wood (1975-1982) Good call on the Dave Murray and Adrian Smith. I suppose Glenn Tipton and K.K. Downing should be mentioned, too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

sonnyfeeling Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 Well, holy shit, nobody mentioned Jerry Garcia/Bob Weir yet? Sacrilege. Oh, I guess someone sorta did. But "Bob and Jerry"? Pffft. Ryan Adams/Neal Casal have produced some pretty sublime moments. And last but definitely not least, Joe Strummer/Mick Jones, who basically melted my face off when I saw them. RIP Joe.

Gobias Industries Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 No Tom Verlaine and Richard Lloyd love? That was the perfect guitar duo, in the best "guitar rock" band ever...though they're still "post-punk" to me if anything. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

uncool2pillow Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 Come to think of it, Lou and Sterling were a pretty badass pair of guitarists, too. This! Also Robert Quine and Matthew Sweet on Girlfriend. Love the interplay between the guitars on that LP. Clapton and Allman on Derek & the Dominoes. Clearly Bob & Jerry. Neil Young & Danny Whitten. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

One of my all time favorite bands, but I can't think of any moments where they really clicks as a guitar duo. Atkins and Paul. One of the best damn guitar albums ever recorded. A thought: Slash & Izzy Stradlin? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
