Description
Stanley Jordan didn't invent the electric guitar playing technique known as tapping. But a lot of folks certainly think he perfected it. By using both hands to thump down on the strings of one, even two guitars at a time, Jordan turns his fret board into an extended keyboard and is able to execute mind-melting jazz scales that would be impossible with a pick. Though often pigeonholed as a freak talent spectacle and nominated for four Grammy Awards arguably on this basis, Jordan these days has scorned the mainstream music culture, instead choosing to hole up in Arizona and study musical therapy, only rearing his head for certain handpicked shows. We're honored. - Curtis Cartier sanjose.com
