Some failure in the raspberry has meant I didn't get any sound on some 'tubes - most notably Gabriella Quevedo - she's back! - I didn't rate her that highly - I was wrong - CC wins again.
I wasn't convinced Alexandr Misko was actually doing what he was doing - this time he is doing it for certain - there's plenty more of him not playing the guitar properly - I chose this pretty much at random. Starts at about 1:12 - hair band on the top two strings - capo on the first fret of lower four strings ..(edit - makes more sense when you see he's playing the guitar the wrong way up)

She's mostly of Argentinian ancestry, despite being born in Sweden. Plus, her father was already a professional guitar player. So you know how that is... Place the guitar into the grasp of a descendant of transplanted heritage going back to gauchos, flamenco, and tango... And something's bound to develop toward volatility. She's performed with Tommy Emmanuel before as a teen, once played a Yamaha guitar with his signature on it. (She switched to Taylor guitars, who offer her financial support, especially since they get advertising via that in her videos.)
Quote:I wasn't convinced Alexandr Misko was actually doing what he was doing - this time he is doing it for certain - there's plenty more of him not playing the guitar properly - I chose this pretty much at random.
Misko and Stricagnoli -- in those "playing while strolling" videos at the top -- probably had wireless dongles of some kind plugged into the cable ports of those electronic packs on the back of their guitars (if Stricagnoli goes that route, too, rather than built-in).
What's puzzling is why everybody has not gone "cordless" full-time. I can only effetely guess that it revolves around fears of short battery life while playing on stage, or signal interference from other equipment, or they don't want all that extra crap affixed to their guitar, or some such other.
Of course, back in the oldest days before both magnetic pick-ups and the piezoelectric transducers of the '70s (for acoustic), it was originally a "no cable" zone for the instrument. Maybe the past is determined to stay buried.

A solo instance of Tuttle and her "bluegrass-sounding" style. Ah, clawhammer banjo adapted to guitar? Here: https://youtu.be/sIgoH-Kehbg

Could be wrong, but this sounds like a possible instance of Memphis Minnie and her guitar all by themselves, sans a band or a duo with somebody like Kansas Joe McCoy. There are a couple of (brief) instrumental work sections in there that can qualify it for the thread.
Aside from her being a fingerpicker, the reason I believe Minnie might be solo comes from Del Rey demonstrating her playing style here: https://youtu.be/xb6FZThYUYM
Dr. Molly Miller: Pioneering Women of The Guitar: Memphis Minnie is the “Queen of the Country Blues.” She helped develop R&B and Chicago Blues, wrote songs that we know well, and has played on records we have heard, but many people do not know her name. [...] Memphis Minnie had a reputation as being a tough woman. It has been said that she always carried a knife, a pistol, and, of course, a guitar. She gambled, chewed tobacco (she would spit tobacco between songs), and was fearless. She challenged the renowned Big Bill Broonzy to a picking match (sometimes guitarists would challenge each other to a “picking match” to see who was a superior guitarists). She won. I have been hard-pressed to find a live video of her. I have searched long and hard, but am yet to discover one. Although we do not have live footage, there are many accounts that describe this larger-than-life character.
EDIT: Found and substituted a different, digitally cleaned track with better audio quality.

Recent one by the skilled Brazilian guitarist. The composer was an Argentinian pianist.

Not a new video of the Chinese classical guitarist, but still circa three years ago. This particular work makes use of the pedal note. Though created for the guitar, Albéni composed it using the piano. He was Spanish.

INTRO: " This song is weird. It's my attempt at the calm frenzy and cold warmth of Drum & Bass. The lyrics are about being consumed by need. This music captures how weird I feel, all of the time. Always somehow chasing and fleeing at the same time."

The following promotional vid of Gomm's offers some brief insight into how the acoustic instruments of these percussion style guitarists work. Like multiple, different types of pick-ups; taller frets, wider fingerboard, etc.
INTRO: " I'm so proud of this. Please ask me anything you want to know about it, but here's the basics on the JGM5: About half the price of the JGM10 but with all the playability and key features - including the unique triple-pickup system with its flexible simple mono, split stereo or full triple outputs. This was the dream: An accessible, affordable guitar tailored for percussive fingerstyle. You get 20 years of my research and testing, straight out of the case. I did my best."

INTRO (Justin Johnson): There is something dark, ancient, & mysterious about the Black Hills. When I began to play this song, I immediately felt transported to my memories of driving down those winding roads that snake through the Black Hills of South Dakota. Where does your mind take you?
