Richard Thompson playing 1952 Vincent Black Lightning

There are few musicians I admire more than Richard Thompson. Here he is playing his lovely song 1952 Vincent Black Lightning, from his Rumour and Sigh record.

One can see both his hands quite clearly to get a good sense of his fingerpicking technique. I haven’t checked the guitar tuning myself, but one of the commenters said that it is tuned C G D G B E, low to high.
