He's using a quill (feather) for a plectrum, and also a "noter" on the fretboard instead of his fingers. It's how many traditional people would have played. Very nice! 🎶🎵🎶
The only reason people started playing in "traditional" ways in the first place is because they weren't playing things "as they were meant to be played" 🙄
A quill. It's literally a wild Turkey feather with the down stripped off. He also using a short wooden dowel as a slide called a 'noter' which is why this is called called 'Noter & Quill' style.

Wow !! That is so cool I have read about playing with a quill but never seen it .. Looks very difficult but boy it sounds good Thank you !
Nice to see someone using a noter stick. Keep it up.
Using a turkey quill as a plectrum sounds better than using a guitar pick.
That was crazy good. I never seen that style of playing...hey, save some chicks for the rest of us.
Right on! Awesome playing 👍🏻
Wonderful playing well done. Loved it
Very good playing young man...
Keep up the traditional playing, people forget the sound of playing as they were meant to be played.
