Reply to comment by bolanrox in TIL The fiddle part in "The Devil Went Down to Georgia" is taken from a Vassar Clements song called "Lonesome Fiddle Blues" by purplechinacat
I personally like the devil’s part better, it has that more rock and roll feel like u/AudibleNod mentioned, but if you really focus on the fiddle part of it, it’s not good. Especially as it goes on, you can hear how it degrades, even my untrained ear

The devil fools you into thinking he is better by distracting you with flash

Actually the devil was better until Johnny hit him with the drum solo. Smashed his head in with the gold fiddle and ran off.

“Well, it looked like I was gonna be stuck here as far as I could tell I thought I might as well suck up, you know what the hell I said, "You know that song that Charlie Daniels did About how you went down to Georgia and played fiddle against that kid" He said, "Yeah it broke my heart but you know what are you gonna do I said, "To tell you the truth I thought your solo was the better of the two"
