Dueling Banjos
--------------
from the movie _Deliverance_, by Eric Weissberg

I haven`t actually heard the song in a while, I basically just grew up hearing
my dad pick out pieces of it. Here`s what I know. The song is actually played
with a guitar and banjo with a question and answer sort of feel. I use a hard
pick near the bridge of the guitar to simulate the banjo sound.
Guitar 1 Banjo 1
e+--------------------------------------------------------------------------
B+-----------------------------------0-1-3-0-1---0--------------------------
G+---------------------------------------------2---0-2----------------------
D+-----0--------------------------------------------------------------------
A+-2-3---2-3-0-2---0--------------------------------------------------------
E+---------------3----------------------------------------------------------
Start this (lick 1) slow, then repeat a few times with increasing tempo
before moving on to the second lick.
Guitar 2 Banjo 2
e+--------------------------------------------------------------------------
B+-------------------------------------------0---0--------------------------
G+-------------------------------------0-0-2---0---2------------------------
D+-----------------------------------0--------------------------------------
A+---0-0-2-3---2-0----------------------------------------------------------
E+-3---------3--------------------------------------------------------------
From what I remember this (lick 2) is played once then it breaks into the
following chord question and answer.
Guitar 3 Banjo 3
G G G C G G G G C G
e+--3-3-3---0---3---------------------3-3-3---3---3-----------------------------------
B+--0-0-0---1---0---------------------3-3-3---5---3-----------------------------------
G+--0-0-0---0---0---------------------4-4-4---5---4-----------------------------------
D+--0-0-0---2---0---------------------5-5-5---5---5----------------------------------
A+--2-2-2---3---2---------------------5-5-5---3---5----------------------------------
E+--3-3-3-------3---------------------3-3-3-------3---------------------------------
8 8 4 4 4 8 8 4 4 4
The 8`s and 4`s correspond to eight and quarter notes respectively.
Again from what I remember you go back through licks 1,2,3 at a much quicker
tempo then then song goes into picking similar melodies over the strumming on
the other instrument. I`ve never played this with anyone else, so I`ve never
learned the duet parts (I`ve always faked both parts by myself).
Hope this helps
