Guitar Duos

I'm almost sure we've had this thread before, but I can't seem to find it.

Anyway, I was watching Styx's "Return to Paradise" DVD and I was amazed at how well Tommy Shaw and James Young work together on guitar. They both play off each others rhythm and share leads seamlessly. So, I just got wondering about people's favorite guitar duos. Some of mine;

Tommy Shaw and James Young (Styx)
Scott Gorham and Brian Robertson (Thin Lizzy)
Francis Rossi and Rick Parfitt (Status Quo)
Joe Walsh and Don Felder (Eagles)

Dave Mustaine and Chris Poland
Adrian and Dave
Lennon and Harrison
James and Kirk
Glenn and K.K.

The usuals, mostly.

Frankie and Tommy from Tesla
Dan and John from Icon
I prefer the Gorham and Moore version of Lizzy
Erik and Gary version of Tourniquet

and of course the Priest dudes and the second tandem of Maiden...Murray and Smith. Megadeth is kinda close, since more stuff came from Dave and Marty than Dave and Chris, I choose Dave and Marty. That's all

Galen Niles & Larry McGuffin (Ultra)
Scott Gorham & Brian Robertson (Thin Lizzy)
Dave Mustaine & Marty Friedman (Megadeth)
David Hidalgo & Cesar Rosas (Los Lobos)
Tommy Skeoch & Frank Hannon (Tesla)
Glen Tipton & KK Downing (Judas Priest)
Brad Whitford & Joe Perry (Aerosmith)
Ace Frehley & Paul Stanley-Kiss

Adrian & Dave (add in Jannick for the newer releases)
Ace & Paul
Michael Sweet & Oz Fox
Glen & KK
Dave & Marty
Glenn & Jimmy Brown

Michael Sweet/Oz Fox
James Hetfield/Kirk Hammet
Glen/KK
Adrian/Dave

Duane Allman and Dickey Betts is THE ultimate guitar duo, but other faves include:

Downing/Tipton
Murray/Smith
Gorham/Robertson
Hlubek/Roland/Holland (not quite a duo though, haha)
Franklin/Wartell
Matheos/Aresti

Robert Fripp/Adrian Belew - King Crimson
Gorham/Robertson - Thin Lizzy
Frankilin/Wartell - Trouble
Tipton/Downing - Judas Priest
Hanneman/King - Slayer
Smith/Murray - Iron Maiden

Rather than repeat the obvious ones (Tipton/Downing, Smith/Murray, etc.) that have already been posted, I'll add these...

Hank Shermann/Michael Denner (Mercyful Fate)
Joe Comeau/Sebastian Marino (Overkill)
Gary Holt/Rick Hunolt (Exodus)
Criss Oliva/Chris Caffery (Savatage)

I prefer the older stuff but yeah, you could say I'm a fan. Akerfeldt's abitlity to sing and growl so well together is amazing (too much death vocals and my voice is shot).

Opeth is a great band!

Good taste Phil!
