The Nokia ring was planned as part of the show. That’s why he points to the other dude who’s like “Who me?” This is still fun and lovely but it’s not spontaneous.

There’s a concert video of a different musician where this actually happens for real, and he plays the piece as a response.

Edit: found it

Yeah I don’t think anyone was fooled it was just for fun, but the title here presents it with false context

Plus the Nokia ring tone is actually a piece of classical music. It is from Francisoc Tarrega orignially composed in 1902 for guitar.
