As a guitarist myself, it looks impressive, but it's not as hard as it looks for any competent player.

BTW, he's not the first guitarist to use this techique. I remember a guitarist years ago, who performed on Johnny Carson's "The Tonite Show', who used a similar technique, but was much more interesting musically (and he played a guitar with only one fretboard).

If you want some Bach, listen some recordings of the master of classical guitar, Andres Segovia in his prime.

I have posted on a message board where he was a frequent poster. At least now he has gotten a double neck guitar that suits the music a little better. But still, I don't really think it works. Most guitar's react rather poor to touch style playing. You have got to ask yourself the question: is this superior to playing it on a piano? The same goes for classical guitar also actually.

It is also true that it is 'just' another way of playing. There is actually a special instrument for it, called the chapman stick. It's a kind of guitar-bass hybrid. The hard part is keeping the other strings from vibrating and getting a good sound out of the strings. Also, it seems that the right wrist isn't very ergonomical.

And if we are going to post guitar video's: Click. 

Ill post a movie that's actually meant to be musical later, although I kind of like the second part. But I need to rip it off the DVD first. Do note this guy also has excellent timing and bends in tune. He was actually a genus, as defined by IQ, that also composed a piano concertino.

There is a classical guitarist who transcribed the Goldbergs, I was pretty impressed with the samples I heard. Unfortunately, I've forgotten his name.

There are several. One recording I heard was done by József Eötvös. But there seemed to be some production flaws in it. Do note it was done by recording several tracks of classical guitar over each other to get all the voices.

  I assume you've heard Jaco Pastorius's rendition of the Chromatic fantasy?
