(laffin me arse off here). Well its obviouse to see that humour actually can cross the pond eh peeps?

Enjoy the music me peeps n... tc now :))
Hi ya` Eric; great video! You are playing in my song titled, "Joe Seddon With Eric Weissberg On Banjo, Are You Ready To Love Me" recorded at Atlantic Studios, 1976. Should you find this note, give it a listen. So pleased to have you take a part in this original piece of music i wrote in 1972. Joe
@sandinmyears1 It was written in the 50s by Arthur Smith a tenor(4 string) banjo player and Don Reno a 5 string banjo player and it was recorded by them originally with a 4 and 5 string banjo rather than a banjo and guitar.
Not bad pickin, specially for a couple a guys from the north. But if you want to hear great guitar & banjer pickin , go to just about anybody's front porch in Southwest Virginia, Northwest North Carolina, or East Tennessee. 👍🤠
HEY SOUND-GUY!! Either turn down the volume of Guy's banjo or, conversely, turn up the volume of that there fellas gee-tar. Guy"s banjo's much higher volume is drowning out the fellow duelist dude, Dude.
Wait, this isn't the kid in the movie, that kid is Hoyt Pollard, so i'm assuming that this dude just played the music and the actor Ronnie Cox and Hoyt did the finger syncing.
I fucking hate when an audience feels the need to clap during a performance. I just to hear the musicians damnit. Put your godamn hands in your pockets and tap your toes.
He was born in Brooklyn NY. That’s probably why he plays slower than Appalachian people. It doesn’t sound the same as real Appalachian folk It’s not as rhythmic nor fast
RIP Eric. You left a giant legacy.
My daughter and I were at this show, along with my friend. I have to say it was one of the best, and for a great cause!
Geeze we just lost Eric this past week, what a huge loss to the music community, he was a legend!!!
Absolutely - he was my banjo hero!
I'm sorry for your lose
God Bless.
Two great musicians having fun ! Look at Bill Bailey's "TInselworm" too
Two greats on stage together. Superb.
he's one of my very favourite Banjo Players
Due grandi... che si divertono ancora come bambini!!
Con tutto rispetto, questa è una delle peggiori versioni del capolavoro di Arthur "Guitar Boogie" Smith. Troppa confusione e poca armonia.
Love Pony Express! Great tune (as is Black Rock Turnpike)! thnx
My favorite banjo picker, took me back to the Bitter End, 1961, best wishes
And thanks for sharing this! Funny and great song!
Old people are awesome.
Eric Weissberg was also responsible for the Steel String guitar and banjo parts in ‘Take Me Home, Country Roads’
This is just so fun! Who disliked the video? Really? It's something to make you smile and laugh. And it sounds good too.
thank you for sharing.
Fantastic!!!
❤❤❤❤❤
Well done! Thank you for sharing.

cool !
The banjo is a very strange, yet astounding, instrument.
Anyone who says that us southerners are dumb hillbillies or that we are untalented needs to see this video.
he is so great
so so great
Better Quality?! Damn, they rule
OMG when he smiles he looks like Wolverine!!!
I did not know that Eric, in addition to being a great banjist is also a good comedian.
These guys are fucking legends.
Bravo !
grazie

Eric's Pickin' an' I'm grinnin'!
man..I got to get locking d tuners,hard to pull off the first tune without..
Not bad pickin, specially for a couple a guys from the north.
But if you want to hear great guitar & banjer pickin , go to just about anybody's front porch in Southwest Virginia, Northwest North Carolina, or East Tennessee. 👍🤠
unadulterated epicness
Don't forget Roy Clark.Another Legend.
Boys dat was a mighty fine pickin and a singin
@pimplandSWE They're called Scruggs pegs - to tune down and up without altering the main tuning paegs
SHET HE IS FAST!
Fantastic duet... just wish I could filter out the audience clapping along.
Lawsuit lol!
@nondescript11 hate to correct ya but they're called keith tuners from Bill Keith -
@Rubberbandit24 I dont get it
HEY SOUND-GUY!!

Guy"s banjo's much higher volume is drowning out the fellow duelist dude, Dude.
@PeckerwoodSmith that was for Pimpland - not you - and I'm not .... oh hell I play banjo and have ocd....
I love Dukes of Hazard!!!..... uh,, ya know.
Theres nothing worse than a crowd that starts to clap along...
Edward Van Helgen!

unhombrelobo you mean billy redden?
Very interesting, thanks for the info!
@xeeweexRC - I certify this post to be honest, accurate, and righteous.
Well that's just showing off 🙄👏
Why do they call it "Dueling Banjos" when it's a banjo and a guitar?
To all the haters,i lost my pencil,it's green with a red ereaser tell me if you find it(Like if u understand)
This is good but the guitar needs it's own mic.
Now you just drop them pants. You just take them right off.
lol
Great picker, but I can honestly say the first 4 minutes sounded more like a jumble than a song
Its the likes and dislikes bar at the top,it looks like a pencil with a red ereaser

I feel sorta sorry for Tom.
He got prettymuch overshadowed there.
giant
Two cute big clown
Wmazing,but not originals

I always heard people from Appalachia were slower players than those from NY?
no one understands it...
talk less and play more
Eric is a thief!
what a waste of time
