Yes, I play sax but guitar is my premier instrument. However this  
looping jam was played with the EWI through a guitar rig.  I spent  
some time setting up my EWI to get close to the floating vibrato  
machinery feel of my Stratocaster - i.e. that you can bend notes both  
upwards and downwards, and also that a wide vibrato goes both over  
and under the correct pitch (where you tend to land it when stopping  
the vibrato). I think the "guitarishness" comes from how I'm starting  
the notes that are going to slide into other notes. When you have  
learned guitar as the first instrument you tend to do those slides at  
certain points in the scales and it spills over into other  
instruments you play.
