Here is a video of Wesley Tuttle with Speedy West.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L22emPmRh_Y

Speedy comes in at time .37 .

What is he moving back and forth a couple of times at the right end of his guitar?

Thanks

Geo

That's the tone control he's turning to get that doo-wah sound.

The first time I saw this technique used was by Alvino Rey in his video films from the 30's. Alvino's tone control was on the top of his Guitar and you can actually see the technique.
