Yes, that's all one pass of guitar.  And he would ad lib similarly beautiful and complex pieces each night as an intro to his ballad "Home". 
He was a one-off and will be missed.

An update - there was a crowdfunding effort asking for $20,000 to cover the funeral costs etc. - they ended up raising over $114,000!
