Street musician uses an iPad to kick out the jams

We’re not 100% certain, but this might just be the very first busker to kick out the jams on an iPad. It’s an interesting concept, and I’m not knocking the musicianship required to play an app like Seline HD, but I wonder if people who are willing to pay buskers feel like she’s cheating a little bit.

I’d be curious to know if there’s a difference in the money she makes while she’s playing Seline HD over a traditional instrument.
