Stanley Jordan Playing Eleanor Rigby

Stanley Jordan Playing Eleanor Rigby

This blog has only too rarely fulfilled its commitment to art (or science for that matter) as political imperatives always took priority. But this was a must to share. I had been familiar with the amazing sound of jazz guitarist Stanely Jordan, and some time ago was shocked to catch a tv clip of one of his live performances. Watch him use tapping to play Eleanor Rigby: the sound is amazing, to understand that it is coming from a single guitar is astounding, to watch his virtuousness is mindblowing.

    ...even more so if one bears in mind that this is not show off, he actually learned to play this way.

    Um abraço, camarada!
