Found this one with Skeeter Davis singing and Hal Rugg. Terrible quality but great to see!

Love it! Thanks, Walter. Got to figure out the lick at 1:38!

Now that's the real Goo that I knew. The one I saw a couple times.

Great lick on the end of Hal's solo. I've heard him use that many times over the years. It almost seems like he's lifting the bar, but I don't think so. We need somebody to tab that out so we can work on it. If I ever master it, I'm going to use it a whole bunch. Tommy.....

Hal is lifting the bar but not entirely from contacting the strings.

He is lifting the rear portion of the bar (leaving the 'nose' of the bar
contacting the string) such that it clears the lower of the pair of strings
that he's playing at the moment.

For example, with the bar 'tipped up' on the third string at, typically the
twelfth fret, play string 5 open, then 'hammer on' the rear of the bar then
pick string 3.
Bring the bar down a string, with the rear of the bar 'tipped up' again, play
string 6, 'hammer on' the rear of the bar then play string 4, etc. etc., you'll
get the idea.

Exquisite blocking makes for a clean and precise sound.

Looks like Hal is barring the strings at the twelfth and fourteenth frets
here. I suspect he may playing a D9, rather than E9 tuning (not that it
matters to the way this lick is executed).

You'll also hear Buddy Emmons use this from
time to time, though usually on the C6th neck.

He jumped to the back neck for a chorus after his solo, then ended on E9 Cool

Russ: I'd say you're right, and that's what I originally thought. I didn't think about the fact that he could be playing a D9th. tuning, so I was trying to find this lick at the 13th. fret with the A&F pedals. Which was logical for the notes against the D chord, but then the open notes would'nt fit. Too bad Hal is no longer with us to confirn what you said, but I think he would. Thanks, Tommy.....

Fwiw, I know he would, I've played
right next to him, and Buddy Emmons,
and have witnessed them both play it.
The explanation not guesswork.
