Not to cut the guy down, but Eddie Van Halen was doing stuff like that 25 years ago. Listen to Spanish Fly on Van Halen II. There are lots of shredders that use various two-handed techniques too.

on an acoustic quitar? eddie is amazing and yeah he could probibly do this or learn to do it very easily but this a different style, its called "lap tapping". also, yeah i could see how it could sound repetitive...................................... to the untrained ear:p .

either way i thought it was great. looks like the guy gets a lot of joy out of sharing his music.

That was cool, smackyo; thanks for sharing. The guy's got some skills. I'd agree that, although he's the shit and did do two-handed stuff on his electric, what Eddie did wasn't the same as what this fellow was doing.

Yes, Eddie did tapping on an acoustic. Listen to the track I referenced above. Eddie pretty routinely uses his right hand to smack the string above the fret to sound harmonics while his left hand is fretting the note which is not too different from slapping the strings like this guy does to sound notes. Just because he doesn't lay the guitar across his lap doesn't mean it is substantially different.
