This is interesting

There is a small chip implanted at the top of your spine. This connects the implied and intended note into the box then transfers it to the synth unit. It's not quite legal yet which is why they're not talking about it. it's very painful but it also opens up your garage door.
Merge on!

Thats perfect Hook.........this response really made my day........perfect.  HaHaHaHa.....

What I don't understand is how does the guitar signal from the strings get recognized by the device.  It looks like they just stick it on the guitar.  Is there a MIDI pickup?  I have searched around and I can't find anything.  It seems they just clamp it on the guitar?  How the heck does it get a signal from the guitar strings into the device?  What am I missing?

It's just a midi controller, not a pitch-to-midi converter. Its purpose is to allow you to control midi devices from the controls on the Guitar Wing. It doesn't process the guitar's sound at all so there's no need for a midi pickup.

You could use it to trigger a hardware or software synthesizer for special effects. Or you could use it to change the parameters of a software or hardware midi device. For example, in the following video, a guitar is plugged into an Eventide H9 effects pedal which has midi support. Instead of bending down to adjust the controls on the pedal, the presenter is able to control the pedal's parameters from the Guitar Wing.

Of course, most standard effects pedals don't have midi support so you couldn't use the Guitar Wing to control just any old pedal. But some multi-effects units have midi support (Fractal Audio's Axe-Fx, Kemper profiler, Roland VF-1 and maybe some of the Roland GT series) and you should be able to use the Guitar Wing to switch effects patches, adjust parameters, etc.

But I think where the Guitar Wing would really shine is when used in conjunction with a midi pickup and guitar synth such as the Roland GR-55. You could use the various controls of the Guitar Wing to instantly switch patches and alter the parameters of the selected synth patch.

And in case some people didn't notice it in the videos, one of the coolest features of the Guitar Wing is its built-in 3D motion detector. This lets you alter a midi parameter merely by moving your guitar. You can see in one of the videos I posted earlier how the performer alters the sound by raising and lowering the guitar's neck.

Ok so you plug into the pad and the sleeve on the guitar then transmits Bluetooth to the the pad which has the signal... I think.
It must be digitech that's working on the chip.

Thanks 64G, that clears things up, not quite what I thought it was, still a cool device.

The guy is playing stuff on his guitar and it is sounding as synth, but it is tracking perfectly what he is playing on the strings.  Usually you need either a midi P/U or the guitar cable goes from guitar out to input in the "controller".  It doesn't look like either is involved here...........I am confused.......and intrigued........and GASed.........

The guitar in the video that chapperz66 posted has a Fishman TriplePlay wireless midi guitar controller attached to it. Here's what the YouTube page says:

"Everything aside from the drums is being performed live via the Fishman TriplePlay midi pickup, Livid Guitar Wing, and Ableton Live. The syncopated bass hits in the A section are clips triggered via foot controller, everything else is either performed live or looped from the performance.

Guitar tone is via Axe FX 2, synths are NI Massive, FM8, and Arturia Mini V."

So the Fishman TriplePlay is sending midi note data to Ableton Live and the softsynths. And the Guitar Wing is selecting patches and altering the parameters of the softsynths, Axe FX 2, and Ableton Live.
