If you locked me in a room and cuffed me to a chair to interrogate me and left me there with this song on repeat...by the time it came on the second time I would tell you whatever you want to know or beg you to kill me.

Only guessing, is that learned from mastering the banjo then applying it to guitar?

Cool 345!
The solo is basically Sugarfoot Rag.
I wonder if Hank Garland played on the recording.
The guitarist in the video is miming.

Not Sugarfoot Rag More like Yackety Axe (a takeoff on Yaketty Sax)

Not at all like the acoustic sounding guitar on the version that got radio play.

Pretty sure that there is a boom mic shadow early in the video.

Duly noted, yer honor!
I did a little mental free associatin’ there
SF Rag and Yakety Ax (or Sax) are often medley-fied.
