Dueling Banjos - John O'Connell with James Meall

[Zoso666]

I can't get why that guy kabbagehead has so many thumbs up, the people cheering for (most likely) one of their favorites tunes is bad? This is Dueling Banjos, not Air by Bach

[estanol21050]

Hey guys, this is the best rendition that I have heard of dueling banjos. Great Job!!!

[casperholmknudsen]

[lukebccb]

It's a good thing I don't have a purty mouth.

[meliajl]

This is brilliant John, Liz is learning the Banjo, this has inspired her!

[dirtracer1979]

damn good almost as good as flatt and scruggs and for people that dont know who flatt and scruggs are they sing the theme song for the beverly hill billies the balad of jed clampet

[stiddlyrehman]

[MrKarl1959]

@MrRedcap999 Amazing

[remyloveratl]

awesome



[Trenchgun97]

The crowd participation adds a backwoods authenticity to the song, especially at around 1:35 with the well timed "yahoo" along with the clapping.

[tropical481]

this is soooo hick

[StevieDags]

Just awesome!!!

[gingerbean2k7]

Fucking yess!!!!!

[houltj]

[blingting12]

[kevsrs]

Nice cover!

[manumkds1]

Fantastic

[L33R0YJ3NKlN5]

Fucking dumbasses in the audience wouldn't shut the fuck up and then started clapping off beat.. you should've thrown the instruments at them when you were done with the song.. anyways, fucking AMAZING cover.

[george77772moons]

Honestly, I have no idea how "dueling banjos" works. But that was a very nice performance=D

[platinumplusenter]

I'd love to hear these two do this song in a studio without the crowd noise, both fantastic players, what a pleasure. Love this song.

[Winterlightsky]

Fantastic stuff....gets the hair rising on the back of your neck!

[soelvpapir]

Elsker det her stykke, minder så meget om mit arbejde, to stk. instrumenter der skal finde samme melodi, og nogle dage lykkes det, og så lyder det sådan her :-)

[hend1x]

awesome work lads :)

[Corcoancaoc]

banjo and guitar?

[4orsaorsa]

kabbagehead - how right you are!

[kilo5990]

i think the banjo wins

[15546123101010]

the tune they playing around 00.30

Whats its name? Theres a song thats based on that tune

[RawRawkKills12]

@15546123101010 You mean Yankee Doodle?

[15546123101010]

@RawRawkKills12 Thanks! For gods sake. I know its an easy song to play and its kinda nooby but i love it! Thanks for the name! Sometimes a guy forgets stuff thats basically basic. Stuff that everyone knows and you know you know but but uyou cant record it. Thanks

[RawRawkKills12]

It is a great song for beginners, but it works well with this song =)

[bankofwank]

I love the way at 1:30 everybody was like "Who are these guys yeah!"

I'm only 18 and I am learning to play the accordion, guitar and the banjo! It's hard but this is such an ispiration, great guys thankyou so much!

[jamiealex12]

just done the hoe down on my misses face

[mtmanmitch]

Cool, Great Job Guys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[wanay2]

John O'Connell is such an incredible talent! Wish he would come to the states, NC, to be specific!

[dandyky]

awesome cover! 5 stars!

[jeffredmenace]

GREAT!... Noone's too serious!!!!....Great Fun!

[mentapoleo]

Great! I wish I had the tabs to learn to how to play like that.

[kabbagehead]

I wish people in the audience would shut the fuck up and give you guys the respect you deserve. God, that's annoying.

[outdoorsman0331]

god isnt listening to u and yuor language

[mikefranky]

Yeah same here,how anyone can not like that song is impossible,well played guys!!

[Gonnakillyou]

@kabbagehead There are different ways to show respect, you know. This one is honest and enthusiastic, and if I were them I'd sure prefer it over your "sitting still like a block as though you don't care" method.

[taveman]

better with graeme (much missed)

[ImaBadAssDruid]

man, THATS how you play that!!!

NICE!

i love this song, and you guys were impeccable

[meanwiddlekid]

You're the only ones on Youtube that do the song justice. 5 stars!

[dennisjs]

Don't that song make your butt pucker Still, great music

[Chord5]

@dennisjs lol squeal like a pig!

[BanjoWaldi]

please I really want the tabs of this tune

can you say were Ican find them?

thank you

[bapebapebape187]

duelling banjos on ultimate guitar! :)

[Njtiger888]

im a yankee from NJ but lemme tell you that was awesome...

[culer89]

please give me this banjo tabs, thanks

[HornitosConcerto]

Ha Ha....excellent !

I actually went to Virgin Megastore in Birmingham and found this entire soundtrack album on Vinyl, right after I saw the movie (Deliverance) on T.V. Must have been the mid '80s ?

Thanks for taking me back to that time for 3 minutes there guys, well done !

[alan40sj]

Well in the movie, there was a mind blowing section of banjo where the guitar player was lost. They didn't put that part in, but  this was played superbly.

[fopneus]

Yeah, he plays that part actually, though not the entire finishing part. Where Cox in the movie says "I'm lost" that's in there.

[DuffanyHero]

Wow! I can enter my text on that annotation at 0:24! Oh, wait...you just don't know the purpose of a callout annotation...

No I'm just kidding. Great video, I like it a lot.

[topwesthamboy1]

Quality

[Carphunter1970]

simply awesome!

[Philipo49]

Absolutely AWESOME!! These guys are so talented. Top marks gents, this is a superb piece of work.

[mitchelldo4]

the only rendition that even begins to compete with the movie. if you re-did that scene all the way, id give you 10 bucks

[kraveltravel]

really nice.

[frontman1977]

That, my friends, was FANTASTIC! You've paid great respect to the original track and performed it to the note! Really great work!

If I had one tiny, tiny criticism, it would be to get the ending the same too, then it would literally be perfect, but essentially, brilliant!

[SonicPsycho]

Why exactly is it called Dueling Banjos if it's usually played with a banjo and guitar?

[TELE587]

It was originally called Feuding Banjos before it was 'borrowed' for the film, and was written for two banjos

[ChaosOfEarth]

its originally two banjos im pretty sure

[1awesomeness]

nah its from amovie and it has an acoustic

[thebeardedone]

This is a really excellant recording!

Five stars.

[TheFesta01]

goddamn!

[zoubab]

Oh god i need a banjo §§

[rnasap]

There's smoke coming off that there banjo!

[BeatlesRGod]

love the suspense until it really kicks in, great song

[daedelous]

Best rendition I've heard yet. They kind of look bored playing it, though; especially the banjo player. Have some fun.

[glynnbeard]

to daedelous, maybe they are trying to concentrate! lol i'm sure they're enjoying themselves

[143rdShadowARCunit]

i gotta learn this on my fiddle

[TheWilliams104]

ooh that would sound great

[143rdShadowARCunit]

almost got it. just working on the last bit

[NightingaleHMP]

This is so brilliant..! I keep on coming back to listen to it often. Oh for just an ounce of the skill that those guys have.

Right ..just going to set fire to my banjo!

[duendemacabron]
