Well, he uses delay/reverb here. if you strum bass notes and mute them with those effects - like he does - rhythm effect is very strong - just like in rockabilly guitar picking. his thumb (with this claw pick on, which is very important) is the only source of rhythm here, trust me.
Thats Great!!! I first heard this tune on Chet Atkins "solo sessions" Album played in this fingerpicking style. I often tried to copy it but always failed. I wonder if there are tabs out somewhere? I try to get some ideas from this vid. Thanx for sharing.
Pat Kirtley teaches this exact version in one of his wonderful youTube vids. He also talks about the history of the tune; how Scotty Moore took this approach from Chet Atkins, and Atkins didn't record the song until years later.
Totally great!!! I wish I could play guitar like that!

I have just been to Mr A's web site. He is billed as a musician and a magician....Surely this could be abridged to a Magical Musician!!
Wonderful music.
