My big fear is that you could easily create stuff that no human could play in person. It wouldn't be less musical, but it would make live performances seem less special. I'm not sure that's a good thing.


Interestingly enough I was just thinking the same thing. You sure could create music in this fashion, but some of the changes they made on the video only the most talented of guitarists could play with such precision.

With guitar it would be pretty trivial to create unplayable stuff. Just do something with a mix of high notes and open strings, then quickly shift the "capo" on the open strings. You can't do that in real life, but this recording technique would make it possible. The guitarist would just play the wrong notes and then shift them afterward.
