John,
My guess is yes...as you know, the video is a little fuzzy but it sure sounds like Hal...Now, there's a superb example of great pickin' by one of the Masters and of course, a Master himself, the "Singing Sherriff" Mr. Faron Young!

Thanks for posting this link...very inspirtational! Carl

I'd say for sure it is Hal !! His sound is there as is his hair !! It sure isn't Pete Drake....

Regards, Paul

I think it's Hal Rugg.....and he's playing thru a Sho-Bud Christmas Tree amp..........

I have no doubt that it is Hal. He had a very unique way of sitting behind a steel. Plus he and I once talked about the ShoBud Christmas Tree Amp. That was one of the first amps I owned, but regretfully I pluged it in at a club one night and OH NO, 220 Volts wired to a 110V outlet. End of story.

This video was aptly named. With all due respect to Faron Young, it wouldv'e been nice if he'd stepped aside for a better shot of that great steel player. hehe

Definately Hal! I'm quite sure he's playing the single neck black keyless Sho-Bud that he played for a short time prior to 1975, Hal played that prototype guitar that Sho-Bud was going to add to their line at the time, Dave Jackson & Ron Elliot would know the exact timeline that Hal used that guitar!
