iPhone App: MIDI Fretboard - Sweet Child O' Mine - Guns N' Roses - Intro tutorial

http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/midi-fretboard/id419587177?mt=8&ls=1 on sale now
http://www.wkode.com for more info on this awesome guitar app. I'm using the Distorted E-Guitar (sounds a bit like Slash's guitar sound..hehehe) in Native Instruments' Kontakt Player, a free version of their flagship software. The free version comes with over 30 professionally-sampled instruments that you can control with your iPhone/iPod Touch/iPad over WIFI.

Note the back track was added later. The intro I played was not edited to match the tempo of the back track. So timing is off a bit...

Move your hand position to fret 12, set Tap mode on, and then you're ready to rock.
You can download tabs for this song anywhere on the internet that offers tabs. I'm just showing you how to play the intro, which demonstrates just how playable this App really is. Coupled with MIDI, it's the first of its class.

If you play the guitar, have an iPhone/iTouch/iPad, and a computer, then this is a must-app. You would be foolish if you didn't.

You basically can control all your digital music instrument on the computer wirelessly on your i-device. We're talking 1000's of instruments. You will enjoy playing for hours/days/weeks/months/years. Just don't blame me when you don't get enough sleep.

It also lets you capture all the notes you're playing directly into Guitar Pro 6 and turn them instantly into sheet music and guitar tablature. it will save you 100's if not 1000's of hours of work. What took 10+ hours inputting notes one by one by hand now only takes 30 minutes. Just play and all your notes are in.

Buying a hardware MIDI guitar will cost you around $1000 USD. This app does the same thing and in some departments even better at a fraction of the the cost. Plus no complicated setup....no wires...

Please tell your buddies about this awesome app. It may be the most useful and fun app you'll ever own.

Setup for MAC/Windows
You only need:
(1) iPhone/iTouch/iPad
(2) A PC/MAC with Garageband, MuTools Free, or other DAWs.
(3) Run the free DSMidiWifi server ( http://code.google.com/p/dsmi/downloads/list )
(4) PC users also need to run LoopBe (Free Virtual MIDI Driver http://nerds.de/en/loopbe1.html )
(5) An internet router with Wifi for the devices to communicate. (You don't actually need an active internet connection)
*** We recommend connecting your computer to the router with a LAN cable to maximum performance. (Using Wifi on your computer may drop notes due to signal interference, etc.)

Why is everyone bitching? HOW DARE SOMEONE HAVE FUN.

Fucking kids online, there's nothing wrong with playing an instrument on an electronic device. Does it sound different? Yes. But is that a reason to bitch? No. At least they're getting use out of their expensive electronic device.

@TheRealClaireR Thank you... well said. Most people liked the video... there're just a few closed-minded idiots bitching... Like you said... People need to learn to be more positive and have fun...

[yamahonkawazuki]

@tkviper look at it this way. the ones bitching. have no videos to answer with. nor can they do better

[tkviper]

@yamahonkawazuki that's always the case; people who make helpful videos know it's not an easy task and will rarely bash other video makers over little matter. thanks for watching my videos..

whats ur instrument. an iphone.

[tkviper]

@robertprado7 Dude, I have plenty of real guitars and I love playing them. But I also enjoy playing any music instrument I can get my hands on including digital ones because I love all music, not just guitar music.

[yamahonkawazuki]

@lclaughton yet you did watch. it and spent more time griping about what he was doing versus finding guitar videos to make you happy Eh?,

[tkviper]

@lclaughton I placed "iPhone App" at the beginning of the title so as not to confuse more people like you, those who hate electronic music. That's all I can do. I play the guitar and I created the app to allow me to input notes into computer software via MIDI signals... This way I can write down my guitar arrangements quickly into tablature and standard music notation via Guitar Pro 6.0.

[lclaughton]

@tkviper .What he is holding, at first glance, could have been a guitar tuner..ARE YOU BLIND? Of course your're not..Its just that I hate electronic music crap like this...You need to play guitar, which will require you to have a tuner..Park your damn cell phone..Of course all of this could be a delusion cause I could not stand to watch it... Not to say the guy is not probably a genius of sorts.

[tkviper]

@lclaughton R U blind? The video icon clearly shows a guy holding a iPhone??? Did you think it was going to transform into a real guitar???

[lclaughton]

If the rest of what you are doing THE TIME IS SO SCREWED UP, why listen to the rest of it..Come on man I was looking for a guitar player no a cell phone player. This electronics music shit SUCKS....

Ow wow I'm Derrick and I can sing high like this
