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

Notes: If guitar vs Banjo, then guitar put capo on 2nd fret
If guitar vs guitar, then dont need capo.
PS: This is as close you can get to the original recording. The only variables is who is
playing which part where.
