dueling banjos   Flatt & Scruggs






#------------------------------------------------------------------------------#

Here is a song I noticed was not on your Flatt and Scruggs song list.  I got 
this translation from my dad and brother who both play the guitar.  For the 
most part this should be correct, if not let me know!  Even with these 
chords it will take you months to come even close to the real thing!  Give 
credit to the pro's.

Dueling Banjos

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
