Does the signal processing tech enable a Guitar Hero with actual guitars?

A problem I found with guitar hero is latency (actually, with the drums, where the discrepancy is more obvious, because you can hear both); a common response I've heard from professional drummers is that these drum games are no right (including from standalone arcade versions).

Is the iPad, as a platform very concerned with minimizing latency for UX, in a position to address this?




Have you seen Rocksmith?

It is a guitar hero for real guitars. They address latency issues as well. I bought it on black friday and am amazed...


Came here to say this. If you can get around the latency rocksmith is a better solution because it makes your guitar sound proper for the track using dsp. This solution just listens to what you're playing.
