Dueling Banjos by Eric Weissberg tabbed by Ir0nman1
I spent a long time tabbing this out and getting it as close to the sound track as
possible and I know that no other tab on this site has the ENTIRE SONG TABBED. So please
try it out and give me a good rating.
        After each bar the other guitar/banjo copies you.

Notes: If guitar vs banjo, then guitar put capo on 2nd fret
If guitar vs guitar, then don't need capo.
PS: This is as close you can get to the original recording. The only variables is who is
playing which part where.
