I just sent a PM to a member about some cool sutff he may enjoy and figured I'd check youtube to see if there was any footage. I saw this clip at a film festival years ago.
Check out Jimmy Bryant (guitar) and Speedy West (steel). These guys were country studio guys in the 50's and made some amazing instrumental recordings. Whether you like country or not, these guys were smokin players. Talk about clean.....
enjoy!!

he didnt need to prove anything,,,
did hendrix need to prove hes a good guitar player by lighting it on fire? Its called entertainment.....
Zappa summed it up, Americans hate music, they love entertainment
