Dueling Banjos Tab

>From the movie Deliverance, also played by Eric Weisberg and Steve =
Mandel in an album called Dueling Banjos. This was tabbed by me, =
Mitchell Kennard, on 10/10/99, some was taken from an ananimous author, =
tab from a version by Greg Vaughn an by myself. It was written from a =
midi file which you can listen to (I highly recommend that you listen to =
it to pick up the timing) at =

Section 2


After this Guitar 1 begins to fingerstyle chords while Guitar 2 plays an =
accompanyment:

The chord fingerstyle consists of just three chords which are plucked in =
the following manner (the chord is held while the fingers pluck the =
following sequnce of strings):

C:				G:

e-----------------------------I	e--------------------------I
B-----------1--------1--1-----I	B-----------0--------0-----I
G-----------------------------I	G--------0--------0--------I
D--------2--------2-----------I	D--------------------------I
A-----3--------3--------------I	A--------------------------I
E-----------------------------I	E-----3--------3-----------I

D:

e-----------------------------I
B-----------3--------3--3-----I
G--------2--------2-----------I
D-----0--------0--------------I
A-----------------------------I
E-----------------------------I


Play the following twice, each time a chord is mentioned play the =
fingerstyle for it (above) At the same time as Guitar 2 plays the tab (I =
have spaced the chords to show timing):

 ------C-----C-----G-----G-----D-----D-----G-----G--------

e--------------------------------------------------------I
B--------------------------------------------------------I
G--------------------------------------------------------I
D--------------------------------------------------------I
A-----3-----3--3-----5-----5--5--0--5--0-----2-----2-----I
E--------3--------3-----3-----------------3-----3--------I



Section 3


Now Guitar 1 plays the chords (fingerstyling) and Guitar 2 plays the tab =
or vice versa:

Section 4


In the following part, guitar 1 figerstyls chords in this manner:

C:				G:

e--------------0-----------I	e--------------------------I
B-----------1-----1--------I	B--------------0-----------I
G--------0-----------0-----I	G-----------0-----0--------I
D-----2-----------------2--I	D--------0-----------0-----I
A--3-----------------------I	A-----2-----------------2--I
E--------------------------I	E--3-----------------------I

D:

e--------------2-----------I
B-----------3-----3--------I
G--------2-----------2-----I
D-----0-----------------0--I
A--0-----------------------I
E--------------------------I


Each time a chord in mentioned, pluck it in the above manner at the same =
time that Guitar 2 plays the tab (play this twice):


------C-----C-----G-----G-----D-----D-----G-----G--------

e--------------------------------------------------------I
B--------------------------------------------------------I
G--------------------------------------------------------I
D--------------------------------------------------------I
A-----3-----3--3-----5-----5--5--0--5--0-----2-----2-----I
E--------3--------3-----3-----------------3-----3--------I


Section 5

In between this section and the next is the something like the following =
extremely quickly (I would just omit it):

e----------------------I
B----------------------I
G----------------------I
D----------------------I
A----------------------I
E-----3--3--3--3-3-----I

Now Section 2 is repeated.

I tried to tab the last part but did not get real far. This is my first =
tab so I really did not do too much. If you could please tab the end or =
send me any corrections they would be very welcomed at ckennard@czn.cz
