From this I take it that you've got a tenor banjo?

Duelling banjos is played on 5 string banjo and guitar.

Tenor banjo and five string banjo are very different instruments and played differently, the piece would be very very difficult on tenor banjo, not impossible I guess, but I wouldn't want to be playing it!

So in short, if you want to play Duelling Banjos, get a 5 string banjo.

I read somewhere the song was originally a kind of a play off between a 5 string and a tenor!
you should be able to play the first few riffs easy enough
