What are the different parts/components of a Banjo?

I have a music chore on a banjo-and i hardly know anything about them! i've got alot of info now, but it would reelly help is some1 could tell me the parts of the banjo- like wat its made up of??


a banjo consists of the followin' parts...

the group (or 'resonator')-it is always round..the 'playing surface' (the flat part under the strings) is made of nylon and the rest is made of wood...it has a metal connexion in the center and a removable clamp at the end for changin' strings...

the neck (or 'fretboard')-is just like the ones on guitars; except the banjo neck has a tunin' peg about 3/4 of the way up...

the premier-where the other 4 tunin' pegs are located...all banjos use 5 strings (and always metal strings)...4 strings go the head; and the top chain goes to the peg on the neck...

and...as an extra bonus: the banjo is the ONLY musical instrument that was invented in the united states...all other instruments have their origins in europen countries...

longing that helps with yer assignment...

how to play the banjo part of dueling banjos?

im disquieting to learn how to play the banjo part of dueling banjos, not the crappy guitar part. i cant find it anywhere i tried youtube, ultimate-guitar.com, fretplay, tabs911, ect.

all i can find are very feeble versions of it made for guitar that arent even close.

i want to do the ENTIRE banjo part that includes the extremely fast part near the end when he remarkably starts going.

i know for a fact its not strumming its finger picking very fast with the lil' finger picks usual dwing-diddle-dwing-diddle-diddle-dwing if you know what im yammering about
im not going to pay for something not knowing whether or not its what im looking for im slight
and sheetmusic plus doesnt have it marino
