I'm thinking about learning to play the banjo again.

(Yeah, again. Haven't played since second grade, and I wasn't very good then, mostly because the banjo itself was about twice as tall as me and I had little tiny fingers... Kinda hard to fret a fingerboard wider than your fingers are long.)

But, yeah. Banjo.

But won't you then need another banjo player to, you know, battle?

[solipsistnation.livejournal.com]

Before battling, I must complete extensive training. When I am ready, I shall issue a challenge and let the dueling begin!

Don't you have to train for many months under the tutelage of a wise and aging grandmaster before vowing to gain your revenge over the dashing captain who stole your beloved?

That's only if you take up the Ukelele.

And I'm more likely to play a mandolin. Pretty.

Isn't Dueling Banjos between a banjo and a guitar?

[solipsistnation.livejournal.com]

Only because most places don't let more than one banjo player in the same room at the same time.

For good reason; what are the chances of two banjos playing in tune?

If you want some banjoey inspiration, check out some Moxy Fruvous.

So what happens if you put a banjo player and a bagpiper in the same room?

It was originally done (I believe) between two banjos. But I've heard it done between Banjo and Guitar. And I've heard it doen between Banjo and Mandolin. Last year I saw Eric Weissberg (the guy who recorded it for Dileverence) perform it live with three other guys, two playing banjo and one guitar.

My mother used to play the banjo. And the accordian. No, really.
