It might be just a video thing, but I'm surprised he can play slide on that Gem. The action on those things is super low
Maybe in the studio he used a guitar set up for slide.
Either way, it's a cool tune.
Also, the opening is what he does as Jack Butler in the guitar duel near the end of Crossroads.
