Hehe - Well, the things that are wrong are;

 

1. No-one is actually playing an instrument. They're all just strumming like air guitarists. The rope attached to a bucket sure isn't going to make much noise.

2. The singers are all miming. The soundtrack is an original Stanley Bros soundtrack from the 1950's or 1960's.

3. The microphones aren't real, they're made out of wood, and painted to look like mikes!

4. The video has been made from two separate videos, and then they were spliced! Watch the dogs disappear and appear out of nowhere, as they pass the split frame border!

I originally picked the microphones and the music overdub. I thought there was something odd about the dog but didn't look at it close enough to see the splice. Rewatching it, I could see the little dog appear from the middle of that short post.

That banjo in the clip is a five string banjo. Standard tuning for them is open G which is GDGBD. Open G tuning on a six string guitar has the sixth string tuned to D, so it's DGDGBD instead of standard tuning EADGBE. Keith Richards uses open G tuning on most of his guitars and removes the sixth string completely to get it out of the way, in effect making them the same as a 5 string banjo. It seems to work for Keith.
