I've watched it several times. I think we've been duped.

I'm not so sure...

1st - It seems strange to have all the professional sounding mixing
of the rest of the "band" and the video flashing to traffic lights,
etc. when the featured guitar player is shown sitting in his bedroom.

Band-in-a-box mixing/editing software is commonly available.

2nd - If you watch very carefully, there are a couple of sections
where he is playing on the lower part of the fretboard, yet you can
hear some harmonic notes several octaves higher than that possible on
the section of the fretboard that he is playing. This only happens a
couple of times.

Pinch harmonics. By plucking at a harmonic node and using a bit of
finger flesh the string will damp at the node and ring at the
harmonic. The tone setting and distortion can exaggerate it.

3rd - I think I've heard this performance before and suspect it is
Erik Clapton.

I don't think it's Eric's style, (slow hand...) more like Steve Vai or
Joe Satriani. Ever see the cheesy movie "Crossroads"?

It is the Trans-Siberian Orchestra

My bad, while the TSO played Canon Rock, this version is by JerryC.
