The progression :
G, G, G, G, C, C, G, G, D, D:|
Here's when the going get's tough
You're supposed to play the intro melody and rhythm at the same time FAST.
This is the way I try do it, take it or leave it!
G-rhythm (The banjo answers)
e|----3-----3---3---3---3---3---3--3---|-----|
B|----0-----0---0---0---0---0---0--0---|-----|
G|----0-----0---0---0---0---0---0--0---|-----|
D|------------------------0------------|-----|
A|-----------0----2---3-------3---2----|-----|
E|--3----3-----------------------------|-----|
Then play the same idea through the whole progression
Now please give a suggestion to a way to do the banjo rolls on guitar!!!
Listen to the recording by Eric Weissberg (banjo) and Steve Mandell (guitar) on
the album named "Dueling banjos" (also released as "New Dimensions in Banjo
and Bluegrass")on Elektra (Eks 7238 vinyl).
Dueling Banjos is not the fastest tune on the album!!
On eletric I play the banjo strum something like this (pick and fingers, tele
style), let all strings ring as long as possible (indicated with ===)
