Some serious guitar bashing.

Here's Tommy Emmanuel playing Mombasa (with an extended percussion section).

And then there's what I think is the definitive delay piece - Initiation. This one has an intro that lasts until two thirds (at least) through. Live, the sound just pumps through you.

Damn YouTube.
Our servers block out their content and my pissy broadband connection in the village is so crap that YouTube clips crash it every time.

I'll take your word that these are awesome.

Bugger! He actually takes to the thing with a wire brush drumstick and alternates between hiting the mic and the guitar. It sounds a little crass but the execution isn't, and he never breaks the rhythm.

Initiation is worth a listen if you come across it as a recording.
