Guitar Tapping technique

Thought you might want some extra info so you could upgrade the description for this amazing video - and give the guitarist some credit and exposure.
His name is Eric Mongrain. He's a 26-year old Canadian fro Montreal.
When he was 14 he was inspired by Hendrix, Metallica, and Kurt Cobain, and started playing electric guitar. Four years later he discovered Bach and began playing classical aacoustic. He performed in subways, street corners, anywhere.
He has been backing up Quebec musicians and will have an album of his own out soon.

Dude plays a guitar like it was a synth keyboard. If he played a keyboard would we hear the voice of angels? I think so.

@sommervilleTRS117 i am not sure, but id go with open c because of how rich the harmonics are, so from low to high it's c,g,c,e,g,c. the guitarist in the movie "august rush" used this tunning as well
