Chelsea came up with the best idea ever recently. She's an excellent singer, though she hates to admit it, and she said that we should try performing together. She wants to learn some guitar basics to help to improve some songs where they wouldn't sound too great with only one guitar (mine), and of course she'd be doing vocals.
Naturally, that means we wouldn't be doing much actual rock music or anything like that, as we lack a drummer (a bassist would be nice too but not really necessary), but we can do awesome simple acoustic material and such.
I can't wait to start. thumbup;

Will do, sir.
You should do techno.
Get all sorts of guitar petals and voice-warping software.
Then cover yourselves in silver paint and perform nude

As cool as that sounds, no.

You're just going for the subtle, quaint singer-songwriter sound eh?
That's cool too. Seriously
You should cover The Way

We're not really sure what to cover yet. I suggested Neil Young and Bob Dylan as good sources for covers when it comes to this sort of thing, and she suggested Fleetwood Mac because of the fact that they also have good acoustic material and because she can sing like Stevie Nicks.
I was also thinking some cool acoustic blues stuff, like maybe some Keb' Mo'. She also wants us to cover "Dust in the Wind," which is of course by Kansas, but emulating that awesome violin solo on a guitar wouldn't go over so well.
Sounds like shit.
Unless you can somehow perform original shit and act crazy, give up your plans.

Acting crazy is overrated. Most musicians look fucking stupid when they try to "act crazy."
Also, of course we'd play original material. I wouldn't even consider it if all we did was covers, you dumb shit.

okay i forgot an 's' i'm not the one aspiring to be an english teacher
Johnny Cash alone is awesome. When June Carter sang with him, I just wanted to kill myself. It's like that for every other group/duo/band/whatever.

...did I ever say I'd be singing? She wouldn't be singing with me. She'd be the only one doing the singing.
Also, I've already made it perfectly clear that I'm not aspiring to be an English teacher, but you seem to enjoy looking past that so you can try a half-assed attempt at an insult.
Also, you hardly listen to any music, particularly when it comes to the genres I was describing. Your opinion is nil.

You mean when you heard the songs where they sang together. You weren't alive when it actually happened.
Break up with her and teach her to play drums so you can be the White Stripes.

We were actually discussing our lack of a drummer today on the phone. If he was still around (going to a college in North Dakota), I'd recruit my friend Sam. He was pretty damn good. Tried to emulate Bonzo's style a lot, since Led Zeppelin was also his favorite band.

Bonzo's style is imitated often, but rarely accurately. The trick is that people always assume that he hit the drums really fucking hard, while in actuality he sounded so good because he was a pretty relaxed player.
