Dueling Banjos

[saman8tor]

I know dueling banjos is not for mandolins but i was wondering if anyone could tell me how to play it on the mandolin. #http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

I have the tab for it if you would like. I will need to scan it. It was in Jay Buckey's book. You might check his website in the free tab section. I think his rendition is called "feudin five strings" or something like that. Its pretty easy, but doesn't too sound good without another instrument. My wife can't stand it as that was the only song her dad ever learned on the b@n#o. I think it would be a good song to learn by ear. It also has a little bit of "Yankee Doodle" in it.

The Kentucky Colonels "Live in Stereo" has a version of this song, mandolin part and all (Roland White on mando)

Sounds good with a guitar and mandolin. Just stroll through a campground playing it, pause and listen. If there is a guitar around - it wiil answer you.

I just checked Jay Buckey's site. It is no longer available as a free download but it is in his first volume

Dualing banjos on one mandolin isn't too far fetched. I remember Tiny Tim doing both voices/parts for I Got You Babe!

How in the world do you build up a long list of songs if you need tabs for everyone you want to learn...Play it by ear man....Just joshin`, I couldn`t read a tab if my life depended on it...Willie

I think I heard Bluegrass 45 play this tune, but called it "Mocking Mandolin".

Now the real question is why would you want to?

I know this is very old topic, but it appears some people think it would be weird to hear it on a mandolin. I think i have a recording somewhere of Earl Scruggs and Bill Monroe doing it. It sounds awesome.

I would like to have the tab for it. If you can will you send it to me at PGAfan790@aol.com

I just found the Dillards, aka The Darlins fromt eh Andy Griffith Show, doing dueling banjos with the Mando.

It sounds pretty darn good.:D
