I can’t offer you any hints or tips, but hopefully this might provide you with some inspiration.
Steve Martin (yes, THAT Steve Martin) is an incredible banjo player. Here he is with the vocalist Edie Brickell singing one of my favourite songs.

By the way, if you want to hear the original of Dueling Banjos search for Eric Weissberg on Amazon. At £4.61 including delivery the album is well worth buying - his banjo playing is something else.
