Can someone tell me this style?
I'd like to know if there is a name for the style that this guy is playing here. If anyone can let me know, as well as some artists or songs I can look at to get a better idea that would be helpful!

The link should have left you at 900s into the vid. Just the way the guy is playing the mahogany guitar from then until he stops.

I would call it fingerstyle in alternate tuning. I think this guy was kind of noodling around, but the style reminds me of Don Ross.

I'd call it flatpicking. except he doesn't seem to be holding a pick, and looks like he's using his index fingernail like a pick. But it sounds like flatpicking - using a pick to play lines (especially bass lines) on individual strings, in between occasional strumming. At around 15:16 he's bringing in his middle finger for the occasional upstroke, so there's more of a fingerstyle technique there (which normally consists of thumb picking downwards and fingers upwards). In terms of musical style (as opposed to technique). he's playing blues licks.

To me, it sounds as if he is playing blues. However, there is playing the "right" notes and then there is expressing a deep emotion based on having lived it.
This a big reason why I don't play the blues. I am a middle class white guy, who has been contentedly married for over 30 years, and the hardships I have endured are nothing like what those old Delta blues guys experienced. when you listen to them, you can hear their life being poured into it. I don't have that. I am grateful and not all bothered that I haven't "paid my dues to play the blues". To us, it is mathematical - these scales, these chords, an intellectual pursuit that sounds cool if we can get it right. To the guys who REALLY played their life story, it was expressing real deep emotion from their experiences with sound. Tony

Those guys are employees of a UK based music store chain called Andertons.
They have made a load of videos. The guy on the left has some playing chops for sure but when he starts noodling heavy metal stuff I just switch off. The guy on the right sounds like he is playing scales rather than music half the time. But yes the guy on the left is just playing blues licks with his fingers.
