I say that because those are the songs that I first practiced my harmonies on!

"She Loves You" is pretty straightforward too.

This time I'd like to have them try singing some harmony together. Their playing level needs to stay around typical I-IV-V (I can also do a reduction if the song is basically that)

Any recommendations on a song that may be a good introduction would be much appreciated. Something that stays mostly in thirds or forths. 

Thanks!
