Often, the guests would record special versions of their songs for Shindig. The music and vocal tracks were recorded a day or two before the episode was videotaped. The performers then rehearsed numerous times to make sure that their "mimed" performances looked live. (Not all of the singing was lip-syched, though. In some cases the vocals were live.)
@SixtiesPopGold : Sounds like some of the performers went to a lot of trouble and worked twice as hard to keep from having to do the dreaded "lip-sync." Did the producers ever think they were fooling us? We could always tell....Performers such as Roy Orbison and the Everly Brothers certainly never needed to lip-sync, but if they wanted the exposure, they probably had to go along.
They play this on Just For Laughs Gags.

Roy played all his intros and fill-ins. He was up there with Scotty Moore and Roland James and the rock guitarists of his time.
(The intro to the studio version was played on a 12 string -by Roy)
