Dueling Banjos

[@jollymonsings]

I love this version. It's simple, smooth (not overwhelming to the ears), and slower, but still fast enough to get my foot rockin.

[@melvinfripont606]

10 years old . Still one of the best covers on youtube ❤️

[@donatord]

I like this one best. The melody is clear. The notes clean. Sometimes musicality wins out over speed. I truly sat back and enjoyed listening to this as much as you enjoyed playing it. Thanks.

[@ayokay123]

Try it at 1.25 speed. You'll like it even more because it's closer to the original.

[@OscarVargas]

@@ayokay123 the best thing about this version is that it's not that fast. I like this one better.

[@Knappist]

Spot on speed for speeds sake, can ruin a good tune, Mean Mary plays fast but you can hear every note

[@Senpatientulo]

Yeah, great tune. I do love the "speed" it is played in. You don't have to break speed records. Could hear it again and again.

[@ImmortalDragon21]

there is something unexplainably wonderful about the sound of a banjo. It always puts a rhythm in my soul.

[@rallyx900]

The speed is great, I play a lot of folk and bluegrass and if one thing is for certain it's that smooth detail always wins over a fast mess.

[@lastplacewin]

This is really good. It's nice to hear it slowed down and in much crisper quality than in the Deliverance scene, but something about the speed and urgency in the movie makes it "that" much more special.

[@TedLowe-Earthling]

This video was SO far ahead in the "multiple window style" which is commonplace now on KZbin in 2021! Bravo!

[@Natlatify]

I think the banjo is such an amazing sounding instrument. Mumford and sons use banjos in many of their songs and it sounds absolutely amazing!

[@rozzerqwer]

just beautiful, i love all the little banjo bits

[@roynash]

from someone just learning, thanks for making this both perfect and slow enough to get something from! Nice sounding guitar, too.

[@nedluberecki]

Yes, you are correct. This is a play along. It was shot as part of a guitar lesson teaching the guitar part to Dueling Banjos at the site guitar tricks dot com. It was played slowly so that beginning students could play along with it.

[@nedluberecki]

Thanks! And thanks for listening!

[@Gouldy190455]

From Melbourne Australia, great stuff - love the music since forever.......

[@goldencountry]

Great video and great picking!

[@nemochicky4697]

Lovely sound. Country music is one of my favorite genres especially bluegrass

[@nedluberecki]

You're quite welcome! Thanks for viewing the videos! I'm planning on getting a Christmas medley video up in the next day or so. Stay tuned!

[@richardmatthews3728]

I watch this a dozen times every few years, love it.

[@ZippoJul]

Greatest from France ;) Is it the same duel in the movie Deliverance ?

[@lecanif8154]

oui tout à fait

[@nedluberecki]

If you had read the description, this was filmed for a guitar lesson website and is meant as a play-along for a beginning guitarist to learn to play the song. That's the reason it's not faster.

[@MarcelWGF]

Excellent

[@iamseamusw]

One of the technically, best versions ive heard, played really well, helped me understand how the tune worked, thanks!

[@karlosrimet7230]

Amazing!!!!

[@mickanderson9249]

Surreal but brilliant, well done chap/s.

[@CranesV2]

This is a really good cover of dueling banjos, but I would like to point out something. Guitar leads and banjo follows until they are being played together

[@jcouellet3600]

Again and again I listen to it. is it the optical illusion of twins or a camera double just fabulous performance. Astounded.

[@aristotle358]

He looks like the dad from "King of the Hill! :-)

[@aristotle358]

***** Yeah

[@wolfeyesgreen1187]

You mean Hank Hill?

[@aristotle358]

WolfEyesGreen Yes.

[@budphillips9301]

thought the same thing

[@claudiomaiasantos]

That was really pleasing! Cheers from Brazil!

[@razberrymist9475]

this is a cool song. hasppy birthday, Joseph Thomas !!!!!

[@KJVHomeMovies]

Actually a favorite of mine.

[@razberrymist9475]

Joseph Thomas great! i had no idea.

[@lVlittens]

Love the speed you played at. As a banjo player I truly appreciate hearing the instrument slowed down from where people usually try to play it at. I feel like the instrument really shines out and lets you hear exactly everything that's going on crystal clear. Perfect speed, same speed I like to play my version at.

[@pedrobettt]

+lVlittens The best part about the banjo is how the notes mix when playing at high speed. There's no point in going slow, it just ruins the entire skill.

[@nedluberecki]

+Cheeseless Actually, the point in going slow is so that a beginning player who is just learning the song can play along. That was the purpose of this video. I thought that I had explained this in the description.

[@lVlittens]

Cheeseless I don't believe you understand what the instrument is. Playing fast isn't the point. The point is to generate a sound with melody to create a enjoyable experience for active listeners whether it be only yourself or a multitude. The best part of the banjo is the tone color it generates, not the tempo a player can play at. When regarding higher tempos you are looking at the higher possibility of cramps, mistakes, and the notes blending to well that the melody isn't distinguishable.

[@pedrobettt]

Ned Luberecki No, I get your video's purpose, and it's actually very important and useful. I meant for performance purposes.

[@pedrobettt]

lVlittens I agree that it's not the tempo itself, but without the mixing resonances it just sounds too metallic.

[@Gh3champftw]

Ohh man, beautiful. i wish i had the patiences to learn how to play :(

[@GazMic100]

Sweet sweet music. Very well done....Loved it

[@ogquinn408]

"need to get chased in a dodge charger increases"

[@GrahamCommander]

Love that tune, great banjo picking

[@Jefferyy]

i was half way through the video before i realised they were the same person -_-

[@guatemalaosprey3803]

Sam! That editing was on point!

[@oceanpacific886]

[@knker6665]

Lmao

[@Mcp_Costa]

[@billyost1479]

Twins

[@lelehart3]

I just loved it. Sooo talented both of you. Glad you have a venue to show case your skill.

[@gigiodegigis4219]

Too much identical to be twins! :-) BRAVO!

[@neuzacristofolinidordet559]

same persom

[@slash129]

Great talent being so fluent on both instruments !! Very nice instrumental !!

[@SeventhYearSenior]

CHANGE SPEED TO 1.25 OR 1.5

[@Neptun776]

true

[@JacX1]

Definitely 1.5

[@Pumpydog98]

He plays that guitar FAST 😆😆

[@reichfur]

Excellent rendition !

[@Mk43305]

The guy in red is way better ! :p

[@Dimitar94]

thats the dumbest thing anyone has ever said...

[@jameswis1234]

Dimitur Dimitrov hes joking mate haha

[@mailmallett]

At least idiots are good at one thing. Making me laugh my ass off.

[@DerpyDaringDitzyDoo]

Mk43305 Too bad the "red shirts" never last : /

[@TheBenedict253]

I hear you on the radio all the time Mr. L! Keep up the good work

[@sirquifilous6276]

Set speed 1.5 its perfect : )

[@dncviorel]

1.25

[@80CJ5]

I'm just now learning banjo. Got my first one saturday july 14th at a local Bluegrass and pickers fest. I've been wanting one for years and now it's time to start practicing. I know some amazing Pickers that are helping me and I hope that by next year at the annual gathering I'll have enough practice in that I can join in on some of the Jams that gather around at the Festival. Great Video, thank you.

[@Leelicious1312]

This dude looks like he sells propane and propane accessories

[@slaurenson1978]

That is a really beautiful version of the tune, so well played and clean! very impressive.

[@jdld610]

I have a sudden desire to marry my cousin!!!

[@nedluberecki]

Who's stopping you?

[@mmeikol]

Ned Luberecki An inbred man dancing to this song

[@NoahT98]

jdld610 Ive never laughed so hard! and im from the south.

[@bad71hd]

+jdld610 you say to one of the coolest banjo slash guitar pieces on Earth? ok, you are dumb! Go marry your cousin, because you need to !

[@bad71hd]

***** OK OK OK! Simmer down! lol~

[@rollovermikey]

Most excellent talent. You made me smile, thank you my friend.

[@chamelionmiller8383]

put 1.25 speed and you'll get decent music :) Thank me later.

[@TENGlobes]

+Chamelion Miller thx later :D

[@OscarVargas]

Chamelion Miller I'm sorry but I'm actually listening to good music. Speed doesn't mean better music, in fact, this was clearer and more enjoyable...

[@kalebdegroot8869]

Its good music regardless but having this song played faster makes it sound so much better.

[@mattyshredz1071]

Chamelion Miller how do you change the speed?

[@blingsing5383]

I thought it was slow a year later and your still getting thanked

[@clodomiro2]

Great performance! Very clean and precise... Congratulations...!!

[@martinwhite7053]

The one in the red shirt is extremely talented, however the guy in the blue shirt clearly isn't. I know about such things...

[@bk-a7070]

this is the same guy

[@martinwhite7053]

I know, it was but a bad joke!

[@rosscarroll6735]

Beata Kwiatkowska *facepalm*

[@martinwhite7053]

Nothing passes my keen eye or perfect pitch, I was born gifted...

[@charlene0289]

a 1st class video with out standing playing a wonderful bit of music SUPER SUPER

[@conno451]

Gon' make you squeal like a pig boy!

[@lcstandrie]

Been listening to you on Sirus/XM and wondered what you looked like. You are an excellent musician and a very good announcer on Bluegrass Junction. So good to listen to your shows along with the other DJs on Channel 61. Thanks for all the great music and keep up the good work.

[@1046Fay]

Wow! I'd sell my soul to the devil to be able to play banjo like that!

[@EzyoMusic]

I'm gonna try to do it the hard way, so maybe I can keep my soul to sell fro something else. =P

[@1046Fay]

lol..I know a place that sells great shoes....!

[@polpterusdelhezi]

so schwer zu spielen ist das nicht ;)

[@1046Fay]

lol you must be a musician...

[@polpterusdelhezi]

1046Fay yes indeed ;) you should watch a video of steve vai or buckethead playing, they are fast as hell.

[@jermaineonealnumber7]

Great sound, thx Ned Luberecki!

[@saschaschmidt5210]

to slow...

[@nedluberecki]

Or not to slow?

[@thedarkflowkiller]

+Kai Schmidt Just put it 1.5 speed :D

[@saradomin9742]

+Ned Luberecki That's the question

[@merlynschutterle7242]

+DFK How did you do that? My computer won't let me. .5 is the best it can do, not that I need it.

[@saschaschmidt5210]

i mean to. was einfach und grob übersetzt zu langsam bedeutet du hornochse ^^ ou si vous avez un problème avec elle ? of als u een probleem met het hebben?

[@horsa751]

Very good Ned! José Maria de Melo - Brazil

[@anonimniprofil3816]

I feel like I should marry my sister.

[@Onetime8224]

Best speed ever! It delivers all the notes to its maximum best...............without rumbling against and over each other when it is fastened! Beautiful....!

[@higgins243]

Thanks so much for breaking this down so simply and not showing off with speed. Much appreciated!

[@evsynator]

After 25 years I finally put myself out to learn this fully and properly on guitar . Thanks for the great lesson . Just got to find a banjo player now .

[@shirleydibdin4443]

Always come back to you guys , amazing from uk

[@deonal]

[@davidamaral8963]

[@JoseloGomezEA20101944]

Hi Ned Simply exquisite "Il Tempo" dueling banjos playing chosen. You can better appreciate and savor the harmony notes. I run good piano. Guitar bit. From 90 days ago I bought my first banjo. With my 8 year old granddaughter playing a duet with his acoustic guitar. Thank you and congratulations for your work. From Buenos Aires Argentina Best Regards, José Luis. God bless you.

[@polishvictorylap]

Really good. I wish I could play like that. Hat's off my friend.

[@xabizar]

Could you upload one video with only guitar and another one with only banjo?

[@nerdnout]

[@7gerez]

This again is just splendid....

[@wioslok84]

Super idealny klang i zgranie - tylko pozazdrościć.

[@Dallas-Nyberg]

Nicely done..beautifully played .. it's one of those great tunes that you never get tired of hearing... Thanks

[@MatthewKielpikowski]

Great job Ned!!!

[@kantomultiservice1]

Excelente sincronizacion profesional.

[@Sargethe1st]

very nicely done... saw a bunch others on the net and they were not nearly as crisp & clean, thanks for posting

[@makjac46]

Guys, er sorry, Ned that was without doubt the clearest version I have heard of that tune and the editing was spot on. Well done and can we have more?

[@davidrobinette8484]

Great playing really. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Thank you for posting.

[@Adri1.G]

Very good job! I like this song! I would like please the banjo tablature of this song.Thank you.

[@OscarHenaomiguel1314]

es hermoso y sublime queeeeee lindo escucharlos por favor suban mas videos .....!!!!

[@owlandroo]

That was amazing!!! Love to listen to you on Bluegrass Junction on Sirius 61!! :)

[@bandoheme]

Awesome job! I heard you mention it on Bluegrass Junction today and checked it out. Very well done and well produced.

[@nedluberecki]

I don't have a tab for the banjo part that I played (but it wasn't difficult) and it's also not transcribed from the original soundtrack version. Just something I played off-the-cuff. You might check out the banjo hangout website for tabs of this song though. There's lot's of tabs for everything there and they're all free!

[@28shoman]

Impossible for me not to smile and enjoy this tune, thx Ned & your other brother Ned ;))

[@thecubanism]

Beautiful, a real musician playing great music, thanks pal.

[@jmwilli0577]

That was great. I love the way that you played both instruments. The banjo work was unique and well distinguished. Keep up the good work.

[@dalestenning6465]

By far the most enjoyable dueling banjo i have listened to..........gonna buy me a rocker an a spittoon and watch it again

[@dary3id]

Nice work Ned.

[@redcarsarasota]

That was awesome! Thanks Ned! And... Ned!

[@potastew]

Ned, do you have a tab for that banjo part. That was one of the best I've heard but I can't find any good music or tabs.

[@DrDrumhead]

Nice! I discovered the banjo, feel good sound Yes!

[@SixStringer78TT]

Great play along.
