I Love this Amazing version of Who Knows Where the Time Goes, Here’s a video of Richard Thompson playing it. I need help figuring out what he’s doing so I can play it.
Would be grateful if anyone could post a lesson teaching this version.
Thanks in advance for your help.
(PS- The song starts about 1 minute and 35 seconds from the start of the video)

Hi and welcome.
This may help you get started,
Richard Thompson is supremely talented and emulating his performance is not for the meek nor impatient. He is a master of the art.
The first thing you need to know is that he is not playing in standard tuning. He is in CGDGBE. THis video shows him retuning and has a clearer, more front-on video angle. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fLvbZGjasPw&t=7s
He is using hybrid picking with expertise also.
If you want to see a good view of a guitar playing this in standard tuning, here is a live version from Fairport Convention with guest singer Linde Nijland. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0mxH18A3mFA
