Dueling Banjos Eric Weissberg
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
possible and I know that no other tab on this site has the ENTIRE SONG TABBED. So please
try it out and give me a good rating.
After each bar the other guitar/banjo copies you.
