#stanleyjordan #magictouch #jazz

WOW! Never have I been so Excited for an interview!

It's truly has been a HUMBLING and AMAZING HONOR to interview the man with the Magic Touch, the One and Only - STANLEY JORDAN, a true Guitar GENIUS and one of the most innovative guitarists of all-time. And a super cool guy!
What a fascinating conversation we had!

I've listened to all the greats, but still consider Stanley Jordan to be one of the three Top Electric Guitar Innovators of the 20th Century, along with Jimi Hendrix and Edward Van Halen.

Jordan is an iconoclast, a ground-breaker, an intellect, and one of those rare guitarists whose playing was decades ahead of his time. In 1985, his debut major label album Magic Touch, remained on the Billboard Jazz Chart for an unprecedented 51 consecutive weeks, a record that still stands today.

Utilizing all 10 fingers of both hands, Jordan plays his guitar in his own unique style like a piano or a Chapman stick, a style as complete as no other guitarist before him.

In this interview, we explore compelling details about Stanley Jordan's childhood, life philosophy, studies, teachings, technique, and a career spanning over five decades, some which has never been discussed before,

Stanley is a true genius full of paradoxes, not only as an iconic guitarist, but as an great intellect who relishes true experiential living despite simultaneously embracing advancing cutting edge technology ever since he was a child. He was literally raised by a family of scientists and scholars in early Silicon Valley in the 1960's and early 1970's .

This interview goes far beyond guitar. I highly recommend you listen to the entire interview. If you enjoy fascinating scientific and intellectual pursuits, Strauss and Howe generational theory, historical facts, as well as wonderful guitar music, you will love this interview.

However, if you are most interested in our intriguing discussion about how Stanley developed his guitar technique, his Hendrix project, and other conversation about his musical career path and pursuits , I will include a few links below to skip to those sections.

Hope you will enjoy this special interview.
Better yet, I hope you will learn something new from Stanley's wisdom.
