Brian,
One thing I have found is that it really helps to play tunes from
three piece bands. The reason is that the music is written to sound
good with one guitar and not two. I often find it is hard to make a
song written for lead and rhythm to sound any good when you are on
your own.
A great example of that is Instrumentals in the Key of Boss by the Sir
Finks (which I recently re-dicovered for this very reason). With one
or two exceptions this is a great CD if you are looking for something
to make you want to pick up the guitar and learn something new. It
offers this rare combination of inventive melodies that are oftentimes
fairly easy to get into.
Of course to play them as well as Mike Guerrero is a different story.
