6) I played "Both Sides The Tweed" on the acoustic guitar to her piano accompaniment.

Which is correct? If neither works, what should I say?

I think they would probably be okay in context, in casual conversation.

I'm not totally sure how this works. Is the guitar the main focus? Without knowing how formal you want to be, and what you mean exactly, I would simply want to say:

We played Both Sides of the Tweed, with me on acoustic guitar and Jane on piano.

Or if you are the focus:

I played Both Sides of the Tweed, with Jane accompanying me on piano.

 

[tedmc]

The acoustic guitar is usually played as an accompaniment.

Yes, but not normally to piano. Normally to voice.

Yes, both are natural.

7) I played Both Sides of the Tweed on the acoustic guitar, with Jane accompanying me on the piano.

9) I sang the song.

I want to combine these two sentences into a single one, but I can't. What should I say? Please assume that Jane did not sing the song.

 

[GoesStation]

I sang Both Sides of the Tweed and accompanied myself on the acoustic guitar with Jane on the piano.

Or more concisely:

I sang and played Both Sides The Tweed on acoustic guitar, with Jane on piano.
