Check out "Bobby" (?) here with Bob Wills. His solo at 1:20 looks like he's got his fist around a gearshift. And never even looks at his hands for his crazy wrap-up, swapping necks, harmonics and all. Anybody know who it is?

Thanks, Rick. Gave me a chance to look him up and discover what an amazing, inventive player he is!

I believe it has been mentioned here before, Bobby still plays that same guitar. It looks like the front of the guitar already had a good case of road rash at the time of this video!

He sure has a "different" way of holding the bar.
