Try contacting Geoff the Duck or Bill\Sables. Both of them play it.

The first recording of this was using a 5stringer and a tenor banjo hence the name. It was Don Reno and Fiddlin' Arthur Smith. The second recording was the Dillards and they used the 5string and a mandolin and that's what I use. So while I play the mandolin I never thought about it. That gets me in trouble. I can say this, the first line I do on the "A" string. The lower notes running up through the G, C, and D chords start with the open "G" string, then a "B" on the "G" string I think, (dang it's hard to figure this without an instrument handy) then the final line starting with the open "D" string. That should get you started. If it don't holler back and I'll pull out a mandolin and figure what the notes are.

Duelling Banjos has a tune??? Every time I've heard or played it, it was just scales over a three chord progression. <g>

I thought the original, with tenor and 5-string, was called 'End of a Dream'...

The actual tune sounds like a grassed-up Yankee Doodle to me.

"Feudin' Banjos" is the original and came out about 1955-7. The tenor banjo is Arthur "Guitar Boogie" Smith and the 5-string Don Reno. No guitar.

Arthur "Fiddlin'" Smith was earlier. The Arthur Smith Trio included Sam McGee and his brother. Great stuff from all these folks.

Feuding banjos didindeed become duelling banjos. Don Reno was a legendary bluegrass player. Little-known fact: his sons, Don Wayne and Dale, make up half of Hayseed Dixie - which is why, apart from being a bloody hilarious band, their music kicks arse.

The link contains a "Nasty" pop-up which if your browser isn't set to reject such things could be a problem.
Quack!
