That style has been around for centuries. The guitar makes a nice
percusive instrument.
Two hand tapping technique on the guitar, interspersed with body
tapping has been around for a couple of decades, Michael Hedges being
probably the first to use it extensively, esp. using open tunings and
the slapping of strings to produce chords. In the video link given,
the guitarist was playing in the style of Michael Hedges. Steve
Hackett was probably the first guitarist to use it in mainstream
recording with the band Genesis.
One can see old footage of Segovia doing similar things, with only
one hand.
