This is a piece of music that one of my music history students chose to analyze. I was intrigued by how "vocal" the performer could make that guitar sound. The student must have been intrigued by the guitar as well, but after analyzing it with the elements of music taught in the class, he concluded that the song is not made of much, which conclusion I will have to agree with, as he analyzed it correctly.
