Hi again guys ....here we go lol !
Yeah reckon he's in D,guitar chord fingering suggests D,plus looks like 2nd valve is pressed down with his pedal.That suggests he is blowing an F# or a B on the horn( I play trumpet too) which will fit a D chord( 3rd or 6th) .However if horn is in Bflat maybe he's drop tuned the guitar to suit or he could be blowing in E in which case he's blowing a 2nd or major 7 th in E .What do you think ? Any other suggestions lol.I know this is off piste .

I prefer more modest low-key guys that don't have a need to blow their own horns.

Suppose he’s using a Sousa tempered tuning? And check out the Zero glide nut prototype on his guitar!
A banjo, like a pet monkey, seems like a good idea at first.
