Hillman and McGuinn were in the Byrds.
Robbie Robertson was the guitarist with The Band and Rick Danko the bassist.
Not a two guitar attack.

Great thread and many of my favorite duos are already named. Here are some others for consideration.

Charlie Whitney and Bob Tench from Streetwalkers. Especially on the songs Burn it Down and Catfish.

Danny Kirwan and Bob Welch in Fleetwood Mac, especially on Future Games.

Is that the same Bob Tench that did the vocals with the Jeff Beck Group?

Kirwin and Peter Green also in the earlier Fleetwood Mac incarnation. Then Play On has some great work including "Oh Well".
I think they did Black Magic Woman together too which Green wrote.
 
:yes:

I couldn't resist: if you're an old fart (like me) and you fell in love with this instrument in the 60s/70s, you likely know of Wishbone Ash - many consider them to be the founding fathers of twin lead/harmony guitars. If not, I strongly encourage you to give them a listen. This band was founded on two guitarist (Andy Powell was and still is the driving force, and Ted Turner). Their first album (self titled) is great (Phoenix is amazing). I could go on, and on, but instead if you're interested -> http://www.wishboneash.com/
:thmbsp:
Regards,
PS - make sure you to listen to F.U.B.B. off of "There's the Rub" :yes:. Been there, done that!!!

YES ! YES ! YES ! :yes: :yes: :yes: :thmbsp: I surely DID NOT :no: Forget "WISHBONE ASHE'S" Andy Powell & Ted Turner and sometimes Laurie Wisefield's Twin Guitar work.... And Maxsmart I DO AGREE WITH YOU 110% :yes: Andy Powell & Laurie Wisefield's Twin Guitar Prog rock instrumental MASTERPIECE
:thmbsp: :yes: F.U.B.B. IS AN ABSOLUTE MUST HEAR ! :yes: :thmbsp: (THERE'S THE RUB LP) I believe I MAY have every "WISHBONE ASH" Release that they put out on vinyl. Although I mostly only really listened to there first 6 or 7 LP'S. I'll have to re-listen to their many other Lp's :yes:

Number One on my list is Steve Hunter & Dick Wagner on Lou Reed's Rock 'N' Roll Animal. The entire LP (also the LP Lou Reed Live) is a masterpiece of pure early-70's Hard Rock guitar "weaving."

Dick & Steve:

Yes MG196 , I also have and ENJOY the complete "LIVE" Rock-n-Roll Animal concert. Both Lp's released on vinyl. Dick & Steve would have to be in my Top 5 or SURELY higher "IF" I could find more of their recorded work together. :yes: I believe I've got eveything they did together with ALICE COOPER on vinyl...I've got Steve Hunter's solo Lp "Swept Away" and most of Dick Wagner's early work with "FROST" & "URSA MAJOR"(GREAT LP :yes: :thmbsp: ) ,,, But need more of their twin guitar efforts together :yes: ....mike

I second the vote for Television. Incredible stuff.I hear they are recording a new album and will tour. You must go see them. You'll lose your mind.

They are probably #2 on my list after Hunter & Wagner. Tom Verlaine (who should have been mentioned in the "Most Underrated Guitarists" thread) and Richard Lloyd's work in Television, specifically on Marquee Moon, is extraordinary.

I think that Marquee Moon is a monumental guitar album and the fact that it isn't talked about has everything to do with being considered an album by a "Punk" band. There is not another album like it. Period. With the Allman's, there were always the copycats, trying to poach ABB's style and substance. Tom Verlaine & Richard Lloyd were unique.

Especially on the JOHNNY WINTER AND "LIVE' LP :yes: Yea , I got a few more TWIN GUITAR FAVES. but I had better shut up fer now: :yes: KEEP EM COMING ! :yes: CHEERS ! :thmbsp: ......mike

Hey mg, of course you haven't read my posts. :D
I think i was the first to mention Tom Verlaine and Richard Lloyd, the same with Television and also with Steve Hunter & Dick Wagner not only with Lou Reed but also with Alice Cooper.

http://audiokarma.org/forums/showthread.php?p=406496#post406496 :deal:

That's why i didn't mention again those amazing musicians in this thread. :yes:

That's the Same Bob Tench/FM had quite the arsenal!

Yes, that is the same Bob Tench who was with Jeff Beck. Some sources suggest that Beck fired Tench because he couldn't handle the competition. BTW, Tench sings along with Roger Chapman on some Streetwalkers' songs.

Fleetwood Mac had some amazing guitarists, including Jeremey Spencer, Peter Green, and Danny Kirwan all appearing on some recordings. You are correct about Black Magic Woman---odd how many folks think Santana wrote it.
 
Albert Lee and Jeff Beck

maxsmart said:
BTW - I think ya got to include Clapton and Bruce even though Bruce technically played bass - lead bass that is! :D

From Strangeband -> "Albert Lee and Jeff Beck on a couple of tracks on Eddie Harris' Live in the U.K."
Well I guess I know what I want for Xmas! Two of the all-time greats playing together :banana2: I've not heard this but it won't be long :yes: Thanks, I owe ya a beer (or your favorite adult beverage) :thmbsp: I'll have to search for the other bands you mentioned too!

The Eddie Harris U.K. session has quite a cast: Steve Winwood, Rick Grech, Tony Kaye, Chris Squire, Alan White, and others. Some of the recording is good, some of it is "interesting," and some of it is, well, indulgent and spacey. I only have the vinyl and have not heard it for some time. I believe the song featuring Lee and Beck is "I've Tried Everything."
 
Maybe I'm a little off course here, but what about Rossington/Collins/Ed King or Rossington/Collins/Steve Gaines or just Rossington/Collins? Allen Collins and Steve Gaines are gone, but not forgotten, 'specially 'round here. Rosssington/Medlocke ain't bad either. I know, I've gone into triple attack and lead/slide/rythm territory here, but I just had to chime in. I still love me some Lynyrd Skynyrd. Over, and out, from Dixie:)

I am always up for some Southern Rock! :rockon:

How about any combination of Dave Hlubek, Steve Holland, and Duane Roland from Molly Hatchet!!
 
Pete Shelley and Howard Devoto from The Buzzcocks.
Frank Black and Joey Santiago from The Pixies.

Well, if Tench is that good, I will have to find some of his work on guitar.
Chapman from Family?

I think all three were on Then Play On if I'm not mistaken. Maybe Mr.Wonderful too of which I have no recollection of the songs.

If I were to dig up everything mentioned here so far, it would take me a year of listening to cover it all.
Think I'll start with Tench.

What was the Television hit that received so much airplay?
Anyone know?
 
Hey All , Thanks for all the posts :banana: :yes: I must admit part of the reason for this thread was so I could learn more from all you GREAT AK'ers. :yes: I know & must admit that my love for music with TWIN GUITAR ATTACK / weaving is pretty much LIMITED to Blues Rock , Hard Rock / Metal. And that any Guitar Duoes I mention will probabaly ONLY be the "OVIOUS" ones we ALL are familiar with. But I'll try to also mention some lesser known OR FORGOTTEN DUOES TOO ! (As some of you have) And being 40 friggin'9 I am ONLY familiar with the old school Duoes you'd expect. :yes: But that's why I'm here to LEARN :yes: SO IF WISHBONE ASH'S Andy Powell & Ted Turner are very high on the list of Early British "Pioneer" Guitar weavers in 1970 ? Wouldn't then , SCOTT GORHAM & BRIAN ROBERSON of ("THIN LIZZY") have been the Dual Lead Guitarists to bring Double Lead weaving to the Mainstream and REALLY popularize it a bit later in the 70's ? Also a couple of Early 70's American "Pioneer" Duoes would have to include (already mentioned) GLEN BUXTON & MICHAEL BRUCE (ALICE COOPER) :yes: That being said. I guess you have to mention BRAD WHITFORD & JOE PERRY in "73" Too ? Sorry but I guess I am pretty much limited to the hard rock catagory here because I guess it's my fave :yes: But I certainly do not want to be Close-minded here :no: So Thanks ALL :yes: :thmbsp: for you're vast knowlege & input :yes: CHEERS ! :thmbsp: mike
