I wanna play something at this year's acoustic night at my school, me and my one buddy so it has to be something with 2 guitars.

PJ would be great but i wouldn't wanna butcher it so any suggestions are great.

    how long have you been playing?

    just play something by a couple of your favorite bands.

    ramble on sounds sick just acoustic, just make up your own acoustic solos between the verses though

    Bob Dylan - Tangled Up In Blue, extremely simple and easy to sing to, plus it's a brilliant song!
    Wave came crashing...
