Reply to comment by bolanrox in TIL The fiddle part in "The Devil Went Down to Georgia" is taken from a Vassar Clements song called "Lonesome Fiddle Blues" by purplechinacat

You don't hear what Johnny plays on his fiddle. The lyrics are describing the songs that he plays. Fire on the mountain, house of the rising sun, chicken in a bread pan and granny does your dog bite are all songs and the lines that mention them mostly include lyrics to the song too.
