Band: Charlie Daniels Band (?)
Guitarist: Eric Weissberg & Steve Mandell
Song: Dueling Banjos
Movie: Deliverance
Tabbed by: Sean Connelly

I found the mp3 online that said Charlie Daniels Band played this, but I also found
that Eric Weissberg and Steve Mandell played it... I'm a punk rocker, not a Charlie
Daniels Band fan so I don't know either way :-P.  Nonetheless, this is most of the
intro as I hear it:

^^^ = Guitar 2

Followed by the craziness that no one could ever tab.  There's hints of the above
pieces in there every once in a while.

What I personally do is just power chords at that point like this:
e|-----------------------|
B|-----------------------|
G|--7777------9999-------|
D|--7777-7777-9999-7777--|
A|--5555-7777-7777-7777--|
E|-------5555------5555--|

Good luck :-).
