I've been playing guitar since I was 12 (started on trumpet), am 41 now, and I realized quite some time ago that every single note on a guitar's upper register can be played on every other string, with the exception of only the 5 highest notes on the high E string (e.g., 19-24). All of these notes can be played on a piano, therefore they can be played on any other instrument. You can play this on a saxophone.
Therefore, yes, a guitarist can easily be replaced by food if the notes are correct.
Well, sort of? In this context and with the Van Halen reference it's fingertapping which is, if you want to be technically correct (the best kind of correct), a series of rapid hammer-ons and pull-offs, however each of those is it's own technique. It's like, wheels on a box is not a car, wheels and an engine on a box are a car and each piece serves a different function.
Each carrot is just a switch, the synth produces the notes depending on which carrot she touches. There's no tuning (in the classical sense) involved, i.e. you can't change the pitch by changing the length or width of the carrots.
Thing is, in this context the carrots are the instrument, just like the guitar is. She is in effect, the musician, but using carrots as her instrument. Now, if say a giant slice of pepperoni pizza were playing the carrots you’d really have something…

Are those carrots? Is no one asking how she did this with carrots?!
OnlyOneArman
It's like they didn't carrot all

I'd be playing something stupid like Mary Had A Little Lamb, best I got.
Woogyface
with 100% missed notes and it will still be the best you ever played on carrots

My carrots! https://media3.giphy.com/media/v1.Y2lkPWE1NzM3M2U1aHplem01M3Y5OGs4eDV4ZDIydWoydXNtMTUyZDdiMDF4N2I1eHJqbyZlcD12MV9naWZzX3NlYXJjaCZjdD1n/14aUO0Mf7dWDXW/200w.webp

Won’t somebody think of the carrots!?

I'm not a musician, but to me, it looks like he isn't actually playing. His left hand never moves.

Hammer downs and pull offs. On an electric guitar it can sound quite loud.
NinjaBauer
Hammer ons and pull offs with the right hand. The left hand is just muting the strings he's not playing to keep them from buzzing.

They're an actual band, not just kids in a house:

Of course they are

Is he not moving his other hand at all? I don't know instruments but I thought you had to move both hands .. also he is very cute.

Hammer downs and pull offs. It's a technique that can produce notes sometimes faster then packing. Made super famous by Van Halen.

His name is Anton klettner for anyone wondering. Not much I can find in him, but he is very cute
GrandmaSlappy
If you're fifteen, lol, he looks like a baby

Are babies not cute?

It's a setup. With so few carrots they needed to be tuned for that specific riff.

Or a carrot playing other carrots. Just keep the bunnies away.

I'd also except a giant slice of pizza playing a guitar, to be fair.

Is mayonnaise an instrument?

No Patrick Mayonnaise is not an instrument.
