“One of the best things about Apple is how focused they are on allowing their users to bring out their own creativity through the use of their devices,” Buster Heine reports for Cult of Mac. “One of our talented readers, George, tweeted us a link to his awesome guitar solo video on YouTube.”

ok… that was purdy cool 😉
This is the core of what makes Apple’s products so vastly superior to their “counterparts” in the Google and PC parallel universes. Apple makes amazing products for consumers, period; Google makes mediocre services that transform consumers into products for advertisers and Microsoft makes mediocre products for IT buffoons and people with little ability to transition out of their ecosystem.
Right on, MacAdvocate. I propose a title for this thrilling piece of work: Requiem for the Android Slates.
Superb; I wish that George Lambros would be indeed somehow featured at WWDC.
Of course, he is not superstar or at least star that Apple usually prefers, but still.
This is multi track recording. Nice to listen to, but not a performance in the usual way. So not someone to feature at the end of a Keynote.
Put it this way – did the Alan Parsons Project ever tour? (feel free to replace with newer studio-only “band”)
Ok… but there’s no reason the lad couldn’t be in house as this video is projected. It’s the kind impressive feel good experience that Mr Steve likes for a memorable outro.

The Alan Parsons Project did indeed tour. I have live recordings from the Kremlin Palace, Moscow, the Riverbend Music Theatre, Cinncinati and Salt Lake City.
=:~)
Neither did Steely Dan.
Steely Dan still tours. Always have toured. Only thousands of video of them on YouTube playing on live.
That’s funny because I’ve seen them 3 times.
Very cool, and great talent.
Gives new meaning to the term one-man band.
That’s awesome. I’m a musician who is expecting my iPad2 to arrive next week and I’m buying it largely for music production. I plan to create a whole iPad2 based system over the next year. iOS is at the core of a paradigm shift in music instrumentation right now. What an amazing bit of technology.
Boom, the future just arrived and it is awesome. I got chills. I have played guitar (the wooden kind) for 4 decades, but apparently, now I need to learn how to play a new kind. Now do you know why I want an iPad?
What musician could take Apple seriously with out a nod to the panflute?
This will be duly noted on my Zamfir fan page, PipeBlowerX…..
Seeing how Apple can get some software like GarageBand so right, makes u wonder why some other software falls short. With some it’s like dropping out of high school 2 weeks before the finals.
Didn’t they say that Clapton was God? This guy’s pretty good too.
Oh, trippy! I thought he was going to do a Led Zep tribute.
very cool indeed. As a guitar player from way back i can say, this is the first digital song i sat through and enjoyed.
Bring on the future.
Nice bass!
That’s… insane (ly great).
If I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, I would never had believed that guitar was simulated. I didn’t know the sound of an electric guitar could be simulated to that degree, and on an iPad, no less.

Guitar Rig 4 is hot. That software suite not only offers a highly configurable selection of hardware, like Marshall stacks and Hi-Watts, etc., and all the pedals you can imagine but, the software offers pre-sets of our favorite musicians’ rigs.
damn, why did I bother to learn guitar 30 years ago?
Time to practice for this?
OUTSTANDING!
Long time guitar player…now I am going to have to ground my son, so I can get his iPad 2 and try some riffs on garageband….Wow and wow! That was a great tune Mr. Lambros, even better seeing how it was done!
Very cool but it needs more cowbell.
