Preston Reed and "Percussive Guitar"

I've played guitar since I was 13 years old, but since I'm not that good I'm always amazed by truly talented musicians. Last week I started learning a little more about a guitar style called "percussive guitar", where the guitarist uses the strings for melodies and the body of the instrument for rhythm. One of the originators of this unique style was a guy named Preston Reed. The first video below is him playing a show last year, and the second is a TED performance earlier this year with a 21-year-old prodigy he inspired.  Very cool stuff!
