Stanley Jordan emerged in the mid-1980’s as one of the most gifted and innovative guitarists in contemporary jazz; Jordan sidestepped conventional picking methods in favor of a two-handed tapping technique on the instrument’s fretboard, allowing for a fluid speed and polytonal effect not easily replicated by most players. Star Licks Master Sessions: Stanley Jordan is an instructional video in which Jordan demonstrates his unusual performance style, as well as offering advice on effective practice methods, how to improve dexterity, melodic improvisation, and more.
