This tune, "Legacy", by Phil Keaggy is in non-standard tuning (C-G-C-G-C-Eb) and he switches to C major (C-G-C-G-C-E) on the fly. Pretty cool. About halfway through he begins to improvise and use his Jam Man processor to record loop upon loop which he continues to play along with. For me, this would be something like juggling cats, but he makes it look easy. The funky sound heard at 5:25 is generated by a thin piece of plastic that he weaves between the strings above the sound hole. He slides it out at 6:49 and continues on with the original melody. The guitar he is playing is a handmade beauty from Olson Guitars.
