It's easy to dismiss HeeHaw type performers as amusing uneducated hicks per the stereotype, but they damn well know what they're doing. The same goes for fiddle, bass, mandolin, and other "country" musicians/instruments.

It looks like both of them not only used the 3 finger style of picking but also some straight plectrum with the thumb pick during the early "duel".

Earl Scruggs didn't invent 3 finger picking, but he sure as heck made it popular and is still without question the greatest banjo player of all time - 3 finger, plectrum, clawhammer... you name it.

And yes, that really is Steve Martin, who's pretty darn good in his own right.

Thanks for this. I knew that Steve Martin was a skilled banjo picker, but here he's holding his own among some really great musicians. I don't care for the editing in that video though, because you can barely see a musician's hands for a second before there's a cut to someone else.

I love this performance on The Jimmy Dean Show where Roy Clark goes quickly from guitar to banjo to fiddle: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ta4535Y8xYE.

Yeah, just try playing quality high speed guitar while someone's rubbing a bow under your nose.

That ain't no rube.

I also like clawhammer style, which is older than 3 finger/Scruggs style. Not to mention a good fiddle. I think I've posted this before, but...

Deliverance is still my favorite dueling banjos
Even if it's made for tv they captured the spirit of music

The music was actually composed by Arthur "Guitar Boogie" Smith: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TmMk9tsCjsc.

The film used Smith's music without permission. He sued Warner Brothers and won a substantial settlement.

Here's a great version with Glen Campbell on guitar and a young Carl Jackson on banjo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i5vfw5f1CZo.

Reliving some 80s craziness, updated with 2004 stage effects, enlarged band, and orchestra. I saw Frankie live at their peak. It was a crazy, crazy show in a small venue.

We're a long way from home
Welcome to the Pleasure Dome

Hoo Ha!
Hoo Ha!

Welcome to the Pleasure Dome - Live

Two Tribes was about the Cold War/Reagan era.

Holy Cow! That's Steve Howe on dobro at 6:40!

This. This is the music that’s stuck in my my head right now!

Toddler life!

Just before waking up this morning I was having a dream that me and a former bandmate were performing a flute duet, only both of our instruments were bizarrely customized so that the mouthpiece/headjoint was perpendicular to the main body of the flute...so they were kind of T-shaped, with the blowhole centered at the intersection of the two pipes.

Anyhow, the tune we were playing was a simple, syncopated Latin-feel repeating phrase over an A-7/E7 vamp, almost like something that might occur during an improvisation on Chick Corea's "Spain"

I have not been able to get that phrase out of my head all day!
