Odd recording. It has three parts. The audio is unrelated to the video. It's not even John playing the guitar that makes the audio for the video. However, it's definitely John with an Ovation in the video portion of the first part of the recording.

Anyone know what guitar John's playing in the first part of the video? Is it a wideneck?

It's here: John M. plays an Ovation .

The overdubbed playing doesn't sound like McLaughlin.

Looks like the video came from this version of Lotus Feet: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rhE-LXGOCmE

Maybe a nylon string?

I ran across this some years ago. Weird. The guitar playing is NOT McLaughlin. There is an "OK" bootleg from Munich from the "My Goal's Beyond" year: a solo medley of pieces from Side 2 of that recording.
