“Drifting” by Andy McKee is a well-known fingerstyle / percussive guitar piece.
It uses alternate tuning: the guitar is in DADGAD tuning (low to high: D-A-D-G-A-D)
It’s percussive: there are body taps, slaps, and interactions between rhythm, melody, and percussion all on one guitar.
It uses techniques like hammer-ons, pull-offs, tapping, and even playing above the neck sometimes to get unique chord / percussive effects.
