The notes (pitches) come from the guitar, and the basic syllables from the lips get encoded onto it. There's no singing involved, just the resonance made by the voice and mouth. Google vocoding if you really want to learn more about it.

It is simply a horn driver speaker attached to a rubber hose.
The amplifier feed the speaker, which emites guitar sound into the mouth.

There is no encoding, no digital, no anything other than altering the original guitar sound with the mouth. Not even similar to vocoding.
