Default Extremely tasteful guitar backing

I hope this is the right place to post this.

Stumbled on this video last night, and had it on in the background but the guitar work gradually made me focus on what was going on.

Suzanne Vega is, of course, brilliant, but her backing guitarist here is just phenomenal. He's using a PRS with a piezo onboard and simultaneously getting some 'acoustic' sounds, as well as bass (via a Boss octaver on poly mode) and electric tones... all at once, in places. And he's doing it without overshadowing Suzanne or being in any way busy.

After the first two songs, Suzanne puts her Furch down and all of the instrumentation is coming from just the guitar player. It's brilliant.
