Simply Duets

Let's start with why I wrote Simply Duets. I found that playing a song with other musicians is fun. But playing harmony, a descant, chord backup, pentatonic scales, bass runs, arpeggiated chords, chop chords, and all of the other lovely ways to complement the melody is what makes music fun and challenging for me. To that end I wrote various songs in duet style. There is a melody page and some harmony pages. There are what I call 'call and response' songs, like Get Up and Bar the Door. Many players don't know there is another way to play along with a song. It is my hope in writing this book, that I can inspire players to find another place to play the melody, a harmony, or just some fun back-up to challenge their skills and make a more lovely sound when playing with others.
