Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
i have never played a duet with a guitar so i dont know the best songs!. but i did some research and i found some really great songs!. i have heard these songs played begore and it really goes well because they are slow jazz songs for the acoustic guitar and the tenor or alto saxophone!. here they are:

"all of me"
"lily was here"
"how to take a life"

if you have not heard of these songs them i suggest that you look them up on google!. if you want to hear them you might want to look it up on youtube!. i hope i could help!Www@QuestionHome@Com

I don't have any specific songs in mind right now, but I would suggest looking at Dave Matthews Band songs!. Dave has a bunch of people in the band, and one plays the sax!.

You could also try playing the main chords to a song on the guitar, and have the saxophone play the notes that correspond to the singing!. That would sound really cool for a lot of songs!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

All the songs by Quarterflash ( a famous 80s Pop rock group)
have both Sax and Electric guitar in them!. The Lead Singer Rindy Ross ( Yeap!.!.!.she's a woman) plays sax and sings lead vocals!. They have been around since 1980 and came from Washington

Classic hits like:

"Harden my heart"
"Take me to heart"
"Find another fool" and many more

They are on both Youtube & Myspace
