This came up on Usenet this morning, I thought some of you might like it, particularly as an example of a technique:

Coincidentally, and for a reasons I can't remember (something to do with mountain dulcimers?), I was listening to "Duelling Banjos" on Youtube yesterday.

AGF'er Rob Bourassa did this one some years ago.

That tune has attracted a lot of attention from fancy pickers. Rob's is a fairly literal interpretation, what I found interesting about the one I posted was the adept use of one-handed playing.

Nothing to do with playing the guitar, but this is my favorite solo version of "dueling banjos": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WTF-ZhJMie0

Very nice. I'm a Bela Fleck fan,

as much as I like any banjo, that is.
