The 5-string banjo is an incredibly difficult instrument to learn; I should know, as I have been taking weekly lessons and practicing 5 of 7 days a week since October 2020. I have some warm-up rolls, and about 6 songs to practice; each song is meant to teach a specific part of the technique. Duelling Banjos is NOT for a beginner LOL. I asked when (if) I might be ready to play with a group, and there was not a definitive answer... I enjoy the beautiful sound; it is soothing to pick up my instrument and play. I will now think of your dad when I play... bless him.
Thank you! Yes, it is not a beginner or intermediate piece. I can passably hack out the guitar parts, and I have a LOT of experience with improvisation, but I am not a master.
I love Dueling Banjos even though Deliverance scarred me for a while (my first R rated movie). Clark really was a master guitarist. Thank you and sorry for your loss.
I completely forgot what a tremendous musician Roy Clark was... Thanks for this. 👏👏👏👏
He was a monster through and through
Are you being serious? I would never have guessed that...
I meant as a player
Whew. OK. This is how rumors start, Geoff! 😂😂
Check out his song Maleguena
Just listened...the man must have some callouses. What talent.

I have a meme that is a flat boat on a bayou, with the text: Everything is great until you hear the banjo....
