I can't see either video from work, but I am aware of an amazing blind guitarist, Jeff Healy (he's rather well known in fact, not the least of reasons being his appearance in "Roadhouse", the Patrick Swazey barfight movie). He plays with the axe flat on his lap, plucking with one hand and fretting with the other. It is a much more traditionally percussive sort of technique, akin to hammering-on ala Stanley Jordan, but with plucking thrown in as well.
Talent pisses me off. People who have it piss me off even more.
