when is some one gonna make a stanley jordan article with licks n suff
People in this forum seem to like shred a lot. but I dont know if you guys are tired of the same old licks and techniques like i am. if you guys like shred you guys should check stanley jordan the first jazz shredder the guy rips his licks and touch tap technique is scary i just cant belive nobody has writin an article on him, the man sounds like the whole band (check out his version of stairway to heaven WOW!) im 15 and have been playin for 2 years but can play classics like frenzy by paul gilbert kick it all over by greg howe and go off by cacophony. i was having so much fun with these songs and playing em for people but since my first year of playin i started to invent my own techniques (which at the time did not know that stanley jordan already did em till a year later) like harmonizing licks using one guitar and long and fast legato lines using all four fingers and both hands over the neck. but then i heard stanley jordan i was blown away. i understand what hes doing but have no idea how to use his technique or his licks, and i would really like if some one or somebody at ibreathe could make an article on him( eric v im sure can do it better than anyone can)
shred is not dead!!!!!

). They were sweeping and tapping in the 60's and 70's, it just took a long time for the rock guys to figure out the licks and add distortion!
) i like my action low i cant seem to play if the strings are high or are not loose its gotta be a mental thing i guess. but stanley jordan can make so really good music songs like eleanor rigby and all the children are beautiful pieces of music for people who like harmony. i dont think its hard to play this but more of the things that stanley says that your guitar needs to play the touch tap technique but its fun to explore right now im trying to play carlos santanas samba pa ti using touch tap but its really really hard to arrange music to be played on one guitar like the chords on samba pa ti and the melody pretty hard. but i notice that he has two ways of playing like on his songs with a band he harmonizes his lines by octives like george benson and plays leads using both hands when alone like eleanor rigby and all my children he plays chords and bass lines and a melody with his right. if anyone has kazaa download a video of him on david letterman he plays some cool and real jazz fusion. i just need some to help transcribe his songs especialy eleanor rigby and all the children my ear is not good enough to tab his songs som if anyone can help, HELP!
