He has guitar leads on his hands, and preset loops playing on each tv - for example, drum samples, tones - recorded on VHS. The audio is recorded as the video signal. Then, by putting his hands near the front of a television, the video signal is picked up by the guitar lead and played through the amplifier. He can play it by selecting which sample to play when.
