The "dueling banjos" scene is an iconic piece of film history... Love that scene and it gave rise to my appreciation of the banjo, so most of us can look past subjective opinions.
I have been playing guitar all my life and then I decided to pick up the banjo. I thought no problem. Big problem but in time I got it. These people are very talented. It was the hardest thing in music I ever tried.
PR means Public Relations. The Relationship that the banjo has with the Public is a disaster, because nearly everyone who hears a banjo thinks of the movie, "Deliverance." I play banjo myself, and I can tell you from my experience that this is true. The banjo player in the movie isn't as much of a role model, as say, Mozart for piano. There's a dark undertone to it.
Something every true outdoorsman has been grateful to Deliverance for ever since-- much more peaceful forests now that every Tom, Dick, and Harry city slicker won't venture too far into them!
growing up in the seventies, when I hear banjos, I think of watching Hee Haw with my grandparents, followed by the waltons, followed by the late show with Johnny Carson. After the 1100 news of course. Now the news starts at 10? wth??
Interesting history. The Deliverance version wasn't the original. Don Reno and Arthur Smith take that honor. It's a great song, a true bluegrass classic despite the jokes.
I never though bad about the banjo after Deliverance. I grew up hearing banjo music from time to time. When I think of the banjo I think of Grandpa jones. Look him up.
Deliverance was terrifying, but honestly it HELPED the banjo. Young'ns who buy their banjos online miss out by not hanging out in independent music stores. The one where I bought my banjo and took my first lessons was already old when that movie came out. The proprietor, and the older sales reps from the manufacturers whose products he carries have all all said that their best sales years came after 3 movies: Bonnie and Clyde, Deliverance and Oh Brother Where Art Thou. Say what you want about the films, the banjo picking was amazing, and sales skyrocketed.
As humorous and entertaining as this was; seeing the person in the wheelchair up on stage for the audience participation segment was awesome. This is what the banjo is for me; an all inclusive joy for everyone.
Andy Griffith Show... the Darlings...Doug Dillard, on banjo. I met Doug and have been to parties at his Nashville home. Wonderful talent and kind, jovial man...
Johnny Cash was just a bit less than 3 years older than Elvis, and Presley was actually being produced at Sun Records before Cash was. Johnny's first work for them was in 1955. They were very much contemporaries. In fact, in 1956, they were recorded as they jammed together, along with Carl Perkins and Jerry Lee Lewis! I'm not a huge, huge Elvis fan, but he was not trying to impersonate Cash.
The fact that he did not play well, but got up there anyway, should have clued most of the commenter 's in. He was talking about being a good person, not a good banjo player. To have some dignity for yourself. Go back and LISTEN to HIM TALK!!!
Mark Green Yes, and not just here. I have kept count of how many people LOVE to disparage people, idea's, others religious beliefs, etc, etc ad nauseam!!! Most folks know how to talk (and write) without swearing, but, most people who disparage others, rest in anonymity because they can't talk without sounding like a teenager, swearing behind mom and dad. If I wasn't a lady and sure of myself, I would chew them out for being so childish!!!
Whatever. Hardly prophetic was it? What he did say (which was brief) is so cliche that the only reason he must've gotten up there was to get a large audience to hear him play banjo. Badly
As a banjo player, I'm entirely sick of being asked to play dueling banjos. I play clawhammer and yah I can play both parts at the same time, but god damn. Also Earl Scruggs is not the be all end all of banjo, there's an entire history of banjo music that came before his picking style and everyone decided to constrain themselves.
Here in England the Banjo isn't the bug deal it is in parts of the USA. I'm from Liverpool in the 50's with professional family in Classical and Jazz and actually had the joy to meet 3 of the Beatles as family friends so that obviously was my musical roots. As a kid my exposure to American Bluegrass and the Banjo came first from the Beverly Hillbillies and later the great film Deliverance and I am very grateful to both.
I played in a Bluegrass band for years,,, we never learned ''dueling banjos''' (or 'Feuding Banjos' as it was called before the movie) ... so when it was requested we could honestly say 'we don't know it', instead of 'we are not playing it'
Good tactic. Like not knowing polkas. I played in a polka band for years, I remember far too many of them.. but funny I can't remember them when asked. Great workout though, must say that.
I always loved the music in Deliverance and Earl Scruggs' tune for it. I think the banjo's popularity did take a hit when musical tastes changed from the banjo in the rhythm section of dance bands in the 1920's to guitar in the 30's, and similarly, the string bass taking over for the tuba during that time. Bluegrass music resurged after Deliverance and the banjo became more of a virtuoso instrument with players like Danny Gatton, and Bela Fleck.
I didn't know Earl had any music in the movie. The Dueling Banjo's Music was written by Arthur Smith who lived around the Charlotte, NC area and was born in SC. He use to have a regional show around the Carolina's and Virginia. When Deliverance came out they didn't get permission to use his music and he sued and won the lawsuit. In the movie the Banjo Boy never played any music. They had a player positioned behind him who did some chords/picking of the banjo. A few years ago the boy who "played" the banjo was working at the Walmart in Clayton, Ga. near where a lot of the movie was filmed.
I haven't seen the movie deliverance but I saw the clip of the banjo duel :) I didn't leave for my class because I wanted to watch the duel to the end...so I loved it.
oh please, one day I picked up a banjo at guitar center (not a banjo player) and I played that line, Immediately someone followed and we played the dueling banjos until laughter broke our flow. We were friends for a little bit, that guy and I
That also happened to me at a Guitar Center! I was there to go in and tune their banjos (like usual) and I started to claw out the tune (I play clawhammer) and this 50 year old comes outta nowhere playing it on a guitar. We started jammin out and everyone in the store was stompin and clappin!
Thanks to the movie the Banjo as well as the soundtrack for Deliverance were both hugely successful and it did spark many aspiring banjo players in the 1970's. Deliverance was a box office success in the United States, becoming the fifth-highest grossing film of 1972 after grossing a domestic total of over $46 million and earning three Academy Award nominations and five Golden Globe nominations.
I hear a surge of tourism happened in northern Georgia after Deliverance came out, particularly single male campers. It must have been Banjo enthusiasm....
As for the movie, the banjo scene bears a damp heat cicada-sound density to it, which emphasizes the incompatibility of the two groups of persons involve. Not more, nor less.
When we drive through a run down or otherwise sketchy looking area we say something like "I think I can hear banjo music, how about you?". We had a good laugh when we took a wrong turn in or near Perl Germany and came to a dead end with a deserted railroad infrastructure and overgrown landscape and heard banjo music in our heads.
They would book Steve Martin in a heartbeat if he was interested. He obviously has better things to do. By the way, I'm hardly alone. The thumbs down are at 40% of the thumbs up. Not too favorable.
Steve Martin is a professional banjo player. If course he is better. That's like comparing anybody who gets up there with a guitar to Jimi Hendrix or Keith Richard's. Give the dude a break.
Good talk , but not good banjo playing. Would have been great if this guy could have picked some mesmerizing beautiful bouncy bubbly notes and shown people how wonderful the banjo truly is.
I've noticed that in art museums that have a Musical Instruments section, the Japanese Shamisen will be described as a type of "lute" instead of a banjo.
Steve Martin is a banjo picking genius get him to play King Tut, and The Who had a banjo in their song Squeeze Box, Daddy's got a squeeze box momma can't sleep at night.
That's not completely true... the real banjo player hid behind the kid and reached through him to play the banjo unseen. The kid was only ever paid $500 for his role.
@ Brent - False. It was a sound track. A young girl was brought in to reach around the boy and fake played it because the boy wasn't able to even do that.
PR disaster?! I think that scene in deliverance was awesome. Hey folks, they were trying to tell a story. The man who played the character playing the banjo, just wasn't going to be able to do it. Using as many people from the area in the cast was important to at least some realism of the movie. The scene with the other guy, I think the gas station attendant, dancing to the music was totally spontaneous. For those of you who don't know it, much of stuff done in movies and television, particularly where there is music (except for things like talent shows) is dubbed in a studio after the movie is shot. That's why in many shows where there is a lot of people who are both dancing and singing in a scene, you don't notice that the dancers are not out of breath as they usually would be. Personally I thought parts of that movie were in fact a great "shot in the arm" for folk/bluegrass music.
How do you think "players" like this make us older classic style banjoists feel? Prior to the 1940s the 5-string banjo was a proper instrument, not some hick stereotype played with picks, wire strings, and capoes. It wasn't deliverance that proved to be a disaster for the banjo- it was Earl Scruggs, Pete Seeger, and the re-imagining of the banjo as a Southern folk instrument (hint: Prior to the folk scare it wasn't viewed that way at all).
Two of the biggest hits in rock'n'roll history here in Australia had bagpipes as a featured instrument And bagpipers on the vast stage shows that went with John Farnham's "Your The Voice" - a No1 Hit in numerous countries around the world, and who could forge AC/DC's use of bagpipes?? A show-stopper every time!!
Hearing Earl Scruggs live inspired me to take up banjo. Deliverance inspired me to take up archery.
Carl Mally Rotflmaololololololol ! Yes and it inspired me to wear a Chastity belt when camping ;-)
Hilarious!!!

The "dueling banjos" scene is an iconic piece of film history... Love that scene and it gave rise to my appreciation of the banjo, so most of us can look past subjective opinions.
It was never "Deliverance" ... it was "Dueling Banjos" He's not a Banjo Player. Unskilled but sincere.
I have been playing guitar all my life and then I decided to pick up the banjo. I thought no problem. Big problem but in time I got it. These people are very talented. It was the hardest thing in music I ever tried.
Seriously, I think Deliverance was good for banjo players in that the movie introduced the happy sound of banjo music to many people.
WD4ED weather report crystal silence
I certainly don't see what they mean by a "PR disaster" - I loved it.
PR means Public Relations. The Relationship that the banjo has with the Public is a disaster, because nearly everyone who hears a banjo thinks of the movie, "Deliverance." I play banjo myself, and I can tell you from my experience that this is true.
The banjo player in the movie isn't as much of a role model, as say, Mozart for piano. There's a dark undertone to it.
You didn't watch the whole film did you?
I saw the whole film, but that was many years ago now and about the only thing I remember about it was how much I liked the music.
Deliverance did for the Banjo what Deliverance did for camping in the woods.
Something every true outdoorsman has been grateful to Deliverance for ever since-- much more peaceful forests now that every Tom, Dick, and Harry city slicker won't venture too far into them!
WMsandKFCisBackMOFOs And hog callin' contests.

Deliverance did for the banjo what Deliverance did for my ability to take anything Trey Gowdy says as serious as one should
Interesting history. The Deliverance version wasn't the original. Don Reno and Arthur Smith take that honor. It's a great song, a true bluegrass classic despite the jokes.
The definition of a gentleman? Someone who knows how to play the bagpipes but doesn't.
Greatest TEDx talk ever. God I love this guy.
I met this man's son when I was participating in a 24-hour play fest. Lots of talent in that family!
Did I hear a bit of Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue in his last few chords? I think I did.
I never though bad about the banjo after Deliverance. I grew up hearing banjo music from time to time. When I think of the banjo I think of Grandpa jones. Look him up.
The All Go Hungry Hash House. My favorite GJ tune. Look it up
Richard Pehtown, mighty fine! Thank you.
"paddle faster, I hear banjos!" :)
Jason Dutchman ... Ahead or behind ?
Look at all those beautiful people. pure inspiration!
Deliverance was terrifying, but honestly it HELPED the banjo. Young'ns who buy their banjos online miss out by not hanging out in independent music stores.

Thank you! Wonderful post.
I worked a few benefit shows with Herb Pedersen, Chris Hillman and John Jorgensen. Now Herb, that is a B@NJO PLAYER.
As humorous and entertaining as this was; seeing the person in the wheelchair up on stage for the audience participation segment was awesome. This is what the banjo is for me; an all inclusive joy for everyone.
It takes true talent to pick a banjo.
Banjo players are awesome.
Except it doesnt and he is terrible. Constantly off time. It's almost as atrocious to the ears as the banjos sound itself.
Adrian Soul No I think the banjo sounds cool
Adrian Soul the banjo is harder to master than the guitar
Andy Griffith Show... the Darlings...Doug Dillard, on banjo. I met Doug and have been to parties at his Nashville home. Wonderful talent and kind, jovial man...
man I dont know about his banjo playing skills but his jokes really worked for me :D
Just a fabulous person and musician!! LOVE the Banjo!
_Elvis never impersonated anybody_ Great moment in the talk...
He was a karate guy, he didn't impersonate one.
E impersonated Johny Cash....
Johnny Cash was just a bit less than 3 years older than Elvis, and Presley was actually being produced at Sun Records before Cash was. Johnny's first work for them was in 1955. They were very much contemporaries. In fact, in 1956, they were recorded as they jammed together, along with Carl Perkins and Jerry Lee Lewis! I'm not a huge, huge Elvis fan, but he was not trying to impersonate Cash.
Elvis impersonated Forrest Gump! :)
acemcjack, Elvis died before the movie was produced. What are you implying?
"A gentleman is someone who knows how to play the banjo but doesn't."
The fact that he did not play well, but got up there anyway, should have clued most of the commenter 's in. He was talking about being a good person, not a good banjo player. To have some dignity for yourself. Go back and LISTEN to HIM TALK!!!
Frances Lambert I agree completely, it's amazing how most comments are negative and completely focused on the wrong thing here
Mark Green Yes, and not just here. I have kept count of how many people LOVE to disparage people, idea's, others religious beliefs, etc, etc ad nauseam!!! Most folks know how to talk (and write) without swearing, but, most people who disparage others, rest in anonymity because they can't talk without sounding like a teenager, swearing behind mom and dad.

Whatever. Hardly prophetic was it? What he did say (which was brief) is so cliche that the only reason he must've gotten up there was to get a large audience to hear him play banjo. Badly
Both "Bonnie & Clyde" and "Deliverance" introduced bluegrass to a huge world-wide market.
And it did the world alot of good.
And “oh brother, where art thou?”
I've been playing banjo for about 7 years, I've slayed with the banjo, lord knows my face hasn't done me any favors
As a banjo player, I'm entirely sick of being asked to play dueling banjos. I play clawhammer and yah I can play both parts at the same time, but god damn. Also Earl Scruggs is not the be all end all of banjo, there's an entire history of banjo music that came before his picking style and everyone decided to constrain themselves.
THEIRONCLAYMAN Right! I get asked all the time to play it! That or Orange Blossom Special! I am also a clawhammerist.
I always get Freebird yelled at me. I'm not kidding :)
And this guy cant realy play
And you Howard Golthwaite!
I thought the acronym for Banjo was going to be "be amazing, not just ordinary"...or something like that. Oh well, his is cool too!
Steve Martin is a cleaner picker than this guy.
Excellent... really wonderful 😂👍
Deliverance did for the banjo what this vid did for TEDx
Strange how people always applaud when someone stops playing a banjo. Or is it?
Is not the film's fault or the instrument itself. Is rather I think, the style of music they use it on. I love the sound of banjo in samba pagode!
"That was nothing"...truer words were never spoken
I love the banjo.
It was one of most atrocious highkick line I've even seen.
Jean-Dominic Lapointe especially Asian girl in middle andother two on her left and right haha they just didn't have clue 😂😂
No please not one more. Just couldn't finish it. Deliverance didn't ruin the banjo for Howard. Great players did.
very nice and charismatic speaker, keep it up! god bless ya
Here in England the Banjo isn't the bug deal it is in parts of the USA. I'm from Liverpool in the 50's with professional family in Classical and Jazz and actually had the joy to meet 3 of the Beatles as family friends so that obviously was my musical roots.

Dont call me maybe 🎶 😂
Dude is a riot😄
This is the guy that played the banjo on the porch in the movie. That explains the title.
LOVE this Guy!
I enjoyed this, thanks!
How cool was this??? VERY COOL & fun.
I played in a Bluegrass band for years,,, we never learned ''dueling banjos''' (or 'Feuding Banjos' as it was called before the movie) ... so when it was requested we could honestly say 'we don't know it', instead of 'we are not playing it'
Good tactic. Like not knowing polkas. I played in a polka band for years, I remember far too many of them.. but funny I can't remember them when asked. Great workout though, must say that.
The absolute best impersonation ever interpre-ted. i just can't say. but would it matter. i think i'll go eat worms.
100% worthy of a ted-->X

"This guy sure has a pretty mouth!"
oh please, one day I picked up a banjo at guitar center (not a banjo player) and I played that line, Immediately someone followed and we played the dueling banjos until laughter broke our flow. We were friends for a little bit, that guy and I
Until he told you what a purdy mouth you've got?
That also happened to me at a Guitar Center! I was there to go in and tune their banjos (like usual) and I started to claw out the tune (I play clawhammer) and this 50 year old comes outta nowhere playing it on a guitar. We started jammin out and everyone in the store was stompin and clappin!
'A Gentleman is someone who knows how to play the piano-accordion, but doesn't.'
I'll fly away is the first song and Earl's breakdown.
Wonderful!!!
After this, I am searching for some banjo songs. I really feel like listening to this sickness.
Thanks to the movie the Banjo as well as the soundtrack for Deliverance were both hugely successful and it did spark many aspiring banjo players in the 1970's.

The "banjo kid" was Anderson Cooper's first role.
HA!
Can't for the life of me can I figure out why it is called "Dueling Banjos" when there is only one banjo!
When we drive through a run down or otherwise sketchy looking area we say something like "I think I can hear banjo music, how about you?". We had a good laugh when we took a wrong turn in or near Perl Germany and came to a dead end with a deserted railroad infrastructure and overgrown landscape and heard banjo music in our heads.
Got to love ted
Think I just about lost it when the lad in the wheelchair got on stage to do the can-can XD
Steve Martin blows this guy away in both comedy and banjo playing.
Has Steve Martin done a clever TED talk using the banjo as a foil for an inspirational message? Noooooooo....
They would book Steve Martin in a heartbeat if he was interested. He obviously has better things to do. By the way, I'm hardly alone. The thumbs down are at 40% of the thumbs up. Not too favorable.
Agreed. Recent his special with Martin Short he plays for a short while and waaaaaaaay better.
Steve Martin is a professional banjo player. If course he is better. That's like comparing anybody who gets up there with a guitar to Jimi Hendrix or Keith Richard's. Give the dude a break.
This video made me feel like the Earl Scruggs of Ted youtubers
Good talk , but not good banjo playing. Would have been great if this guy could have picked some mesmerizing beautiful bouncy bubbly notes and shown people how wonderful the banjo truly is.
THIS MAN IS A COVETER AND AN IDOLATOR.
Glorified Truth I dont think you're wrong but you might want to explain such a statement a little more in depth?
I've noticed that in art museums that have a Musical Instruments section, the Japanese Shamisen will be described as a type of "lute" instead of a banjo.
I play banjo and I love deliverance. And i can play it well and i play it often. And he ain't unpopular he is on Ted, now bring out the cousins
This guy’s the Earl Scruggs 🪕 of TED presenters 😄
It’s a free county... For now! Lmao that was my favorite part
A good bit of fun. Thanks.
I've just ordered my first banjo in Britain. I am already dreading a lifetime of people throwing the Deliverance chords 🤦♂️
Steve Martin is a banjo picking genius get him to play King Tut, and The Who had a banjo in their song Squeeze Box, Daddy's got a squeeze box momma can't sleep at night.
I typed banjo into youtube and that scene is the first thing that came up! 🤣
And how many years does he say he has been playing ? This guy should stick to the jokes. But without a banjo he's got none.
The kid in deliverance did not play the banjo. It was a sound track.
That's not completely true... the real banjo player hid behind the kid and reached through him to play the banjo unseen. The kid was only ever paid $500 for his role.
There are a couple of times when the finger board is showing and that was not banjo playing. Yes I do--- play a banjo that is.
@ Brent - False. It was a sound track. A young girl was brought in to reach around the boy and fake played it because the boy wasn't able to even do that.
The dancers are thinking: "How much longer do we have to do this...?"
Call me maybe...I love how he sarcasticly calls it rock n roll
His banjo playing certainly doesn't help the PR disaster... yikes.
It was so cringeworthy!
I just started playing the banjo yesterday, and this performance was very encouraging to me - I feel like a maestro already!
Good thing he was just using the banjo as an allegory for confidence and discrimination.
I think The Beverly Hillbillies did wonders for the banjo.
Love this guy!
looks like the the person in charge of the hook fell asleep or something.
ROTFL
I wonder how many people get your reference?
Tim Leary! what a talent!
goddamn, a 15 minute video and the banjo playing is just the last 3 minutes? i want my time back.
You know the difference between a banjo, and a trampoline?............... You take off your shoes, to jump on a trampoline.....
banjo = viola, when it comes to jokes. =)
PR disaster?! I think that scene in deliverance was awesome. Hey folks, they were trying to tell a story. The man who played the character playing the banjo, just wasn't going to be able to do it. Using as many people from the area in the cast was important to at least some realism of the movie. The scene with the other guy, I think the gas station attendant, dancing to the music was totally spontaneous. For those of you who don't know it, much of stuff done in movies and television, particularly where there is music (except for things like talent shows) is dubbed in a studio after the movie is shot. That's why in many shows where there is a lot of people who are both dancing and singing in a scene, you don't notice that the dancers are not out of breath as they usually would be. Personally I thought parts of that movie were in fact a great "shot in the arm" for folk/bluegrass music.
I like you already...don't fret. The banjo is one of the most difficult instrument to play. Fooey on them!!
I love banjo so much I got one.
Ok, what is the movie called again?
The background when the camera is on Banjo-Man gave me cancer
Wow, Ted is really running out of relevant people to show up and go through their seriously constricted scheduling and accommodation demands.
How do you think "players" like this make us older classic style banjoists feel? Prior to the 1940s the 5-string banjo was a proper instrument, not some hick stereotype played with picks, wire strings, and capoes. It wasn't deliverance that proved to be a disaster for the banjo- it was Earl Scruggs, Pete Seeger, and the re-imagining of the banjo as a Southern folk instrument (hint: Prior to the folk scare it wasn't viewed that way at all).
He looks like my local mechanic, who is a good friend of mine...
If you can learn to play a banjo, you can learn to play a banjo.
Volume is too low.
never saw deliverance ,banjo is awesome.
could have wished for some tighter picking though.
The sudden urge to search for a banjo, bagpipe and acordeon power trio...
there is a phenomenal accordion player on youtube who plays the classics
Two of the biggest hits in rock'n'roll history here in Australia had bagpipes as a featured instrument And bagpipers on the vast stage shows that went with John Farnham's "Your The Voice" - a No1 Hit in numerous countries around the world, and who could forge AC/DC's use of bagpipes?? A show-stopper every time!!
Saw the Movie, have the Soundtrack-LP. Nothing bad with Deliverance or the Contribution for the Banjo.
i THINK A GOOD BAJO PLAYER IS GREAT.
Honestly just wanna hear you play banjo man
