According to another video over there, he's using Omnishpere, but there's no telling. This guy had the guitar technic nailed for a long time. Check out the Necromancer (by Rush) cover with Dream Theater.

The real guitar close to the beginning ?
Watch his hands, he doesn't play that.
The rest are vaguely guitaristic synth sounds he actually plays.
Great player though.
Cheers,

Think he's referring to the section after the real guitar part.

It's a great tone, for sure. Lacks a true pick attack, as well as other things, but yeah... great tone... and of course, sick sick playing...

It IS a "great tone" yes, but @2:13 it's a synth "sound". I suspect (assuming here) that the "monitor" (in question) is an add-on to the Fantom-8 as well.

The guy rocks, and def has a thing for guitar riffs. Did likewise with his Korg Oasys demo, I noticed.

For a great guitar sound, better than that fuzz, go for a 2nd hand trinity.

its a Roland demo so we can probably assume that he is using the Fantom for that leadsound. The monitor is a touchscreen device that he uses to display the score.
The problem with multiendorsers like Jordan is that he is dancing on so many weddings at once that its hard to decide which of the many products that he endorses is actually the best...........
Especially when they fall in similiar categories.

Interesting, but on the higher and more sustained notes it can't fool anyone: it's a "synth" playing. It also glides in a different way from a real guitar.

Well, it IS a synth lead sound and it was never intended to sound like a real guitar (even if incidentally it sometimes does)

I never really understood the desire of him and other keyboardists to try to sound like a guitar.

Use a synth for synth sounds. Leave guitar sounds to the guitarist.
