Dueling Banjos

Presleys' Country Jubilee in Branson, Missouri. www.presleys.com

[@steelarama]

Hey everyone! My name is Dean Holman. I am the banjo player on this video. This is Presleys’ Country Jubilee, and this year is our 54th season. This is my 7th season on the show. I was with the Baldknobber’s show for 5 seasons prior to joining the Presleys. I’ve been playing the banjo for 41 years now, but I mostly play pedal steel guitar. I also play dobro/resonator guitar, and pretty accomplished on all 3 instruments. I also play other instruments as well, but these are my main 3 instruments. The first tune that I played on this, is a tune that was made famous by Earl Scruggs, and was used on the movie ‘Bonnie and Clyde’. Earl was also famous for playing the ‘Ballad of Jed Clampett’ from The Beverly Hillbillies. The second, of course, is ‘Dueling Banjos’. This is one of the most popular bits that we do on the show. Thank you for all the nice comments, and come see our show in Branson MO. Also, you can watch our television show every Saturday night at 6:30 PM CENTRAL, on the RFD Network.

I forgot to mention, the name of the Earl Scruggs tune, is ‘Foggy Mtn. Breakdown’.

That performance from start to finish was perfection. This was showmanship I haven't seen in so long I LOVED this so much thanks guys for doing such a wonderful job

[@johnphelan6623]

Except for the outta tune A string on the acoustic guitar that is.... 😂 not readily audible on the higher notes but listen to his entry when playing more bass-ie chords 😊

[@SageNoctua]

or maybe it was tuned that way on purpose

You gotta see these folks live, what an awesome show they put on. My favorite group to see when visiting Branson.

[@xomthood]

I saw this show in Branson three days ago and this could have been lifted straight from it. It takes real professionals to do this hundreds of times a year for years and still make it fresh for the audience.

[@joshschneider9766]

Dueling banjo s was explicitly written to all for impromptu improv while retaining the chord structure. Each performer develops their own tiny variations they then stick to. And thus what's old is new again.

That’s amazing 🤩 Thanks for liking my aspiration and never giving up on my aspirations .I’m so pleased with the love and support you’ve showered on me that makes me feel really good..I hope you don’t stop listening to my song 🎧 🎵 how long have you been my fan?

[@jimhydle3702]

It started off as feuding guitars by the person who wrote it. It was in given to a producer on a cassette tape who did not listen to it for several weeks. When he did listen to it his tape player in his car malfunctioned and the tape played at twice the speed so it sounded like banjos playing instead of guitars the producer got back with the owner of the song suggested the name change and then produced the song. this story was told by the producer on a old TV show in the 80s it was like Dick Cavett or one of those old shows early 80s late 70s and that's how the song came about with that name.
