MIND Music Labs (http://www.mindmusiclabs.com), the Italian-Swedish startup that last November presented the world's first real Smart Guitar at Dublin's Web Summit, just released the first video of a full-fledged Smart Guitar performance.

The video reveals the full expressive potential of the instrument, which allows guitar players to use infinite modulations and effects, switching between electro-acoustic and electronic sounds in real time and in a natural way without the help of any accessory or computer. The music in the video is produced and performed live by Valerio Fuiano, professional guitar player and music producer.
