Dueling Banjos in High quality widescreen. Classic scene from John Boorman’s Deliverance.

“Credited with the first recording of “Dueling Banjos” (its most common title, also known as “Feudin’ Banjos” and “The Battle Of The Banjos”) is ‘Don Wayne Reno’ and Arthur Smith. Prior to “Deliverance” both parts were played with banjos, and it is the same speed all the way through. Almost all modern bluegrass bands play the “Deliverance” version in the key of G. In the movie both the guitarist and banjo players have capos on the second fret, denoting it is in the key of A.”

“Unlike Ronny Cox with his guitar, actor Billy Redden did not know how to play banjo for the famous “Duelling Banjos” scene. To simulate the realistic chord playing on the banjo, another boy, who was a skilled banjo-player, played the chords with his arm reaching around at Redden’s side while Redden picked. On the soundtrack, musicians Eric Weissberg and ‘Steve Mandel’ are actually playing.”

Here is a 2 minute taster of the gig David and Roger did together for The Hoping Foundation back in July. The sound quality is crap but it was a great night for them. Please support the Hoping Foundation, they are doing great work for refugee children. David and Roger have given the charity the whole 29 mins and I’m told they’re going to put it up at approximately 5.00pm (UK time) on Monday.

Go to hopingfoundation.org to see the video and please support the charity if you can.

Here you can see the teaser!
