Sorry it didn't come across. =) I thought the performance was really neat. (And I think guitarists and piano players are neat too!) Nah, I was trying to be sarcastic/snotty about comment #9.

I'm guessing he didn't write the app so what exactly is impressive about this (besides his competency with this app)? Seemed like he spent most of the time playing the one phone.

I wish I were rich enough to afford four or five smart phones, without having to have a job or anything that used up my spare time. :-) Nice.

Glad I don't live in your world. This guy clearly has some mad skills; and ye, I'm sure it sounds 'better' when he plays it on a guitar; but this is still amazing to watch ... if you're actually able to recognise musical and rhythmic talent and assuming you have a soul. n @Blinky

I was just recently replaying Neil Diamond's 1970 album 'Tap Root Manuscript,' of which "Cracklin Rosie" was the major hit track. I got it when it came out (I was 9) and it was an amazing proto World Music concept album for its time. Quite ahead of Paul Simon and others later. Plate O’ Shrimp!

One design recommendation would be the addition of a few broken guitar strings hanging off the end of the neck. Impressive really.
