my uncle told me to check out Stanley Jordan on youtube
YouTube - Stanley Jordan plays "Autumn Leaves"
he is really incedible! yes he has a very distinct style and maybe all his stuff sounds the same (i have no clue). but he is amazing to watch and considering i am in no way a jazz fan i really do like it.
anyone else know of him? (some must)
WOW! the music yes..nate king cole version..But Stanley Jordan its the 1st time..WOW he's good..he's very good!!!
Actually i was watching this version of the "Teardrop".. with this musician that i didn't also know.. YouTube - Newton Faulkner teardrops live (Massive Attack cover)
But nothing comparing to Stanley:)
One of my favourites guitar players, for example (electric) its Tom Morello..:)
EDIT: i was watching this video and thinking..maybe he's guitar belt should give a nice strop..!:)
There are impressive clips of Stanley Jordan on Youtube. He's a master of the guitar. His style/sound is good for me in low doses since it is so distinct.
I know what you mean about "how did I not know of [this} guitarist before??".
Just last week I learned of Rory Gallagher, the Irish blues player. I've been amazed and craving more ever since. Wow.

There are so many really great players out there that don't really get a lot of exposure. I seem to remember a lot of people talking about Stanley Jordan in the late 80s, then it just kind of fell off. Might be because he had a cameo in the movie Blind Date.
here are two of my favs;
YouTube - Brownie McGhee: Two Songs
YouTube - John Fahey - Lion
yeah, he's pretty incredible... I've seen a few people doing this type of technique though with varying styles. If memory serves I've seen Kiko loreiro of Angra (brazilian metal band) doing a pretty fast metal solo like thisQuote:

And in the Classic / Spanish guitar, my favourite is (he's good, he's very, very good!!!:)):
YouTube - Paco de lucia-solea Greaaaaaaaaaat
And in the Portuguese Guitar (yes we have one of or own :))

If memory serves, the Portuguese are pretty much responsible for if not the very creation of the guitar at least the worldwide spread of it and its offshoots like the quatro and ukelele.Quote:
