The quality of the music (in the clips) suffers from the same problem that keyboardists usually have when playing guitars in a sampler -- namely that without the subtle time differences and dynamics in picked notes or without the appegiations of chords, it ends up sounding like a harpsichord. In fact, the mechanism used here to sound the strings in this machine is exactly like a harpsichord, complete with a quill-like plucker.
Until someone can come up with a finger-like plucking or strumming mechanism, I'm afraid most attempts at mechanical guitar playing will fall far short of a real guitarist.
