It’s good, but I don’t believe that the sound was recorded at the same time as sitting on the well! Or that this is actually a single performance.
Very nice.
Indeed. Where are the drums and bass coming from. That aside, the bloke is showing us all how great an instrument GeoShred can be,
Geoshred can load and play backing tracks for you to solo over.

Yes. But the drums and bass were as they should be for the song. Is that possible, too? It isn’t among the presets. Also, what preset was the guy playing?
That would be possible and easy unless there a time/size limit on the backing files you can load in GeoShred or something?

So it’s possible to get the bass and drums for classic songs, and load them into GeoShred?
Yes, you can load a pre exiting backing track or create your own but it needs to be stored in itunes in order to load it into geoshred.
There are actually a couple of impressive recent GeoShred videos on Discchord (no longer on the front page), including:

But I assume you are referring to the Black Magic Woman thing:

And yes, the music is recorded in advance and then pantomimed or lip-synced, just as essentially all non-live, multicam pro videos are made (you didn’t think Michael Jackson’s Thriller was a live performance, did you?
).
But, GeoShred is a seriously capable and expressive instrument, and with practice can be used to seriously shred in live performance, as we’ve seen in countless Jordan Rudess performances, NAMM demos, etc.
Not to mention your own stellar contribution here some months back! C'mon, don't be so modest ... post it again. Don't make me hunt it down for ya.
The sound is not coming from Geoshred. It's triggering Audio Modeling SWAM viola that's also included in the Noise app.
It said MIDI Roli on his screen. (I presume we're talking about the Santana cover guy.)
Sweet!
Those chord buttons in Xynthesizr should so be midi mappable. I'm afraid pressing those tiny virtual buttons just doesn't cut the mustard.

So are you saying the video is fake? Not actual performance and not sound from GeoShred.
I think he's talking about the Indian guy's video.

Oops. My mistake.
My feeling of anxiety that the ipad was going to fall off his lap, especially when he was rocking so hard that he had his extra hand in the air, made it hard for me to simply watch... I must watch too many blooper videos
Great to see more of what this app can do.
Thx! Here ya go... GeoShred comes in abt 2:50.
Nice track! Some super funky stuff going on there. Love the bit from ~3:10-4:30
Thanks, I totally dig this track, but did t feel OK about posting someone else’s work.
Sounded like a studio recording and enhanced. The guy in the video appears to be the one who performed it. His fingers seemed to pretty-much match what he recorded. But that's GeoShred. Practice it and you can shred with the best of 'em.
Yes, FWIW, I had to practice for a couple of weeks to be able to pull off that solo in my piece — two days just to learn how to play that little Freedom Jazz Dance riff. If I could ever suss out recording MPE MIDI, I could go in and fix little note errors as MIDI, but for now it’s strictly audio, like guitar or other non-MIDI instruments.
Well, that was amazing. And yes, I’d have to say it was pretty obvious that wasn’t live, as there was no interface, no recording equipment. No cameras visible, and the POV changed multiple times.
But yes, I’d believe the sounds and the playing were done in Geoshred.
I’d never have the patience to learn that whole solo. Much less setting up the whole rest of the track, but I guess for a demo, you’ve got time and money to do it. And what it shows is that if you can replicate one of the most iconic electric guitar solos of all time, it’s one badass, fabulous instrument. I don’t think there is another control surface in iOS that is as usable for this kind of work.
What's the point of emulating a Santana solo on ipad? Geoshred is not a guitar. It's a new instrument and deserves to be played to its own strengths instead of emulating a guitar. The note-for-note guitar covers bore me. Express yourselves, musicians!
The point of emulating a recognizable solo is to provide a demonstration of capability many musicians understand and can relate to the music they themselves make or would like to make. I believe there are also examples around that show other kinds of music GeoShred can be applied to. You're free to make one yourself if you haven't already.
As far as expressing ourselves as musicians, recreating or covering existing music we like is fun, educational, can be quite expressive in the interpretation and a joy to listen to. It's kind of a long tradition in music that I think will continue despite your contempt for it.
Now, now calm down. Is a surgeon who uses robots to perform surgery a technician then? I do have some support in still definng a difference between a guitarist and ios device but I am old school in what I consider are still real musical instruments. I think the main difference is between the creative ability to actually compose and play an original piece of music, compared with just copying someone elses regardless of what instrument is used. That is more expressing a specific technical ability, whether it is a guitar or Geoshed. And he can really get a good sound out of that device, technically. That is nothing to do with being a musician, though.
Some might ask what's the point of emulating a Santana solo on any instrument...ha!
I'm not against covers at all (I play in 2 wedding bands and lots of other cover gigs, and love it) but this video didn't really have much point.
Check out the video of Marco Parisi playing little wing on the seaboard though, I was really floored by that.
