Songs With Good Guitar & Good Piano

[dwk302]

So I have a group of friends that I jam with once in a while. It's hard to keep everyone happy sometimes because the guitar players want to learn covers of guitar heavy songs, the piano player wants piano heavy songs, and so on. Can anyone suggest some songs that have both good guitar and good piano. Please, no Dead or Phish.

Edit: It's actually a Roland Keyboard, not a piano.

When my band decided to audition keyboard players i suggested that we dont audition them on songs we do but on two songs only -
Jerry Lee Lewis - Whole Lotta Shakin
Deep Purple - Highway Star
Great keys and guitar on both. If rock bands can cover those two, they can play any rock song worth playing.

Funeral For A Friend (Love Lies Bleeding) ~ Elton

The album version of Let It Be has great guitar and piano on it.

It's been a few years but anything by "Sea Level"

Look through Savoy Brown's catalog.
If your talking keyboards including Hammond B3 that opens tons of things.

 

[louderock]

Lots of Skynyrd
Allmans - Southbound

 

[mango]

any tune with Johnny Johnson on it

 

[Colors]

Lots of Rolling Stones from Exile on Main Street (kick ass duel guitar album too).

 

[Mark McPheeters]

Love Reign O'er Me.... Have fun singing it!

 

[ZosoRush]

Steven Wilson- The Raven that Refused to Sing

 

[Stike]

Well we just found out "One" isn't.

 

[Rumble]

guitar around 2:00 and 2:35

Southbound - ABB

 

[The Captain]

Anything by Cold Chisel, an Australian band that had a big rockabilly influence.
All rhythm duties are pretty much covered by Don Walkers piano, while the guitar plays intertwining melody bits. Its great music, and one of Australia's most beloved bands.
Start with Khe Sahn and go from there.
GNR had some great piano heavy songs too, November Rain springs to mind.

Thanks for the suggestions so far. I was thinking Soulshine by the ABB but that's been a tough sell.

Can anyone suggest some songs that have both good guitar and good piano.

Guns N' Roses - Use Your Illusion II
The Black Crowes - Southern Harmony
Lynyrd Skynyrd - Second Helping
The Rolling Stones - Exile On Main St.
Elton John - Tumbleweed Connection
Pink Floyd - Dark Side Of The Moon

That's albums not songs but you should find plenty of good piano/guitar stuff on these.

Let me throw this out there.....consult your piano/keys player, and here's why....keyboard players can be picky. I know this one really good keys player who absolutely HATES Jerry Lee Lewis style playing and wouldn't do it at all ever. Now, having said that......a band that has lots of guitar work AND good keys is.......I hate to say it.......Lynyrd Skynyrd.

Live with Me by the Rolling Stones has big dollops of guitars and piano.

Most Stones tunes have a lot of piano in them. It's much more prevelant that one would guess. For instance, Jumpin Jack Flash as well as Sympathy for the Devil are as much piano tunes as they are guitar songs.

Slip Kid, by the Who. Great piano and guitar song.

Lot's of Tom Petty songs feature both prominently
