Summary: 

>> What is special about Stanley Jordan is that he plays the
>> guitar in a way that I believe no one else has ever done it
>> - he taps the strings along the fretboard, playing it like a
>> keyboard (I believe that they do something special with the
>> amplification of the guitar).  This enables him to play
>> independent bass and treble parts simultaneously on
>> different parts of the fretboard...

       ...I don't know why the guy even plays the damned instrument,though
       I respect his innovative spirit and all.I'm of the opinion that
       these "trickster" guitarists are amusing but if they establish
       a trend,the results will be BAD!!.Stanley Jordan should've been
       a pianist,not a guitarist.
