  • this man is a god

  • really really awesome

  • yup...good ol' Stanley Jordan.....amazing man.

  • pfff,.. never heard of him,.. will never forget him now

  • @XI4RAMSES My sentiments exactly.

  • He wins at guitar. I quit.

  • Does anybody know who is the upright player? Damn groove...

  • @jfaaafj Charnett Moffett

  • hey, the bass player is also awesome!

  • I think he was suppose to play the piano but somehow the piano got lost and had 3 guitars only and said "Fuck it"

  • O.o

    no longer the forbidden song!

  • @Rokkbert Not when you play it like THAT it ain't!!!

  • @gjc82071

    lol, exactly

  • Is he an Alien?I thought no human being was capable of playing two guitars at the same time.

  • I love how there is no video responses showing people destroying this peice. Amazing!

  • @Monkdaddy Eeeek! Don't jinx it dude! But then again, how could there be, really? You'd not only look like a complete tool, but you'd probably also have to be damn near the biggest moron who ever lived. I doubt that an idiot of that magnitude could even FIND Youtube. If by chance they did, most likely they'd be unable to comprehend written language. Hence they'd lack the ability to write ANY comment, destructive or otherwise. BTW, the dude on the upright bass is a monster! AMAZING comb!

  • something incredibly

  • Breathtaking Beautiful!!! What a TONE MONSTER!!! Stanley did that cover justice... Think I'll throw my gear away and pick up a whistle...Thats talent now!!!

  • This is proof that the original isn't always the best version of anything. I say that making any song jazz, takes the song to a completely different level never fathomed. Rodrigo y Gabriela also does an excellent job at that to the same song.

  • @85zeitgeist Wow. You were right about that! I just saw a version by Rodrigo. It's a duet with a girl on guitar. Amazing. I can not say that either player/version is better than the other. I could have a "preference", and that would be influenced only by my particular mood at the time. Both versions are so far beyond belief that they appear to be "other worldly". Both versions/players are amazing. Their abilities are incomprehensible to mortal men. haha. All I can say is, great stuff!

  • @gjc82071 lol That Girl as you put is Gabriela equally a dam fine musician old Rodrigos is only half of that duet. And yes your right you can not compare they are both the finest of each others styles

  • who would dislike this? those 8 people are trollz....

  • Definitely the king of tapping

  • WHAT IS THE BASSISTS NAMEEEEEEE???

    WTF

    

  • FYI!... We have also a player to him by the name "Balawan " in Bali - Indonesia

  • Bagus!...... It meantk a Bravo in Indonesian

  • awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    

  • Absolutely staggering the level of skill. But skill alone doesnt make music. Close your eyes and feel the emotion...incredible...a tear to my eye.

  • Jimi Hendrix's younger brother :)))

  • proud to have an autograph of this man, and saw him live

  • Ffs.. This guy is a wizard. I'm pretty sure he's not human. He's to evolved to be one. :P

  • One Great Talent. I think that sums it up.

  • amazing

  • saw him live several years in Manhattan.Captivating!He played 2 guitars at once!I can't do that!Sheez!

  • I had Stanley doing this and His Bass player doing a solo and then his Drummer doing his drum solo on my myspace page years ago and now I cxan't seem to find the other two video's of the Bassist and drummers solo's? bummer

  • Bravo!

  • There is nothing about this video that ISN'T awesome!

  • Why haven't people thought of using both hands earlier? Its basically a piano lol

  • THIS DUDE IS FUCKING AMAZING

    

  • I don't know if it has been posted or not, but I study the bass and great bass players. The Name of the bass player is Charnett Moffet. Long musical history great player!

  • i love the way stanley is dressed ... it's like he don't give a flyin' fuck about the fact ... unlike today's artists who leave the actual performance behind ..

  • @GeorgiMl Keep in mind this was probably the early 90's here, the video quality and everyone's basic attire kinda gives that away, and that kinda deal was part of the fashion so it wasn't like as abnormal as it would be today.

  • When people say man can't do two things at the same time... That's BULLSHIT

  • @DaveMusicmanJp7Dream you mean women say....

  • @DaveMusicmanJp7Dream stanley jordan is not a man. he's a message from god to the human race. and what does that message say? "Don't get cocky. You guys all suck."

  • @DaveMusicmanJp7Dream Ever heard of a piano?...

  • Top-Shelf the Grand Master!!! Amazing Chello!!!

  • Top-Shelf the Grand Master!!! Amazing

  • Who the hell is the bass player? He almost outplayed Jordan!!! So sick!

  • молодец!!!!!!!!!!!крутяк!!!!!!­!

    

  • fkn awsm !!!

  • what kind of guitar is that with the big "D" on the headstock?

  • @wetvulture Duesenberg maybe

  • @calvin22101994 a friend told me that it is actually a "V" - from a French luthier, "Vigier". But I thank you --- that was also my guess! :)

  • @wetvulture Yes, this is a Vigier guitar. The pickups are also french, made by Nicolas Mercadal. These Benedetti Pickups are simply the best. And this guy sure makes them sing!

  • @131Clem Thank you - very insightful!

  • The saxophone player was awesome!

  • Well .. what one can say - the Olympus of rhythm belongs to the black people.

    They KNOW wayyyy too much about it ..:)

  • Why isnt this guy mega-famous???????>

  • @jbguitar13 it is for the people who listen to this music.

  • This recreation of Zeppelins masterpiece is a masterpiece in its own right more mellow with of course Stanley's unique Jazz Tone. If you here it on the album he does three parts by himself before any other instruments are involved. He does the bass lead and Vocals through his guitar.. F ing Amazing!!!

  • WOW

    Amazing solo *-*

  • this guy does legato better than me with overhand. i quit

  • so young and so great :-O

  • a great song played by a (the) great(est) tapping player

  • definitly, it´s the best cover of this song ever!

  • Damn... the bassist is insane. Respect to Stanley Jordan too, amazing guitarist!

  • incredibly awesome

  • @jocontraelmon well said!

  • .... and this guy is just simple amazing !! so damn good

  • A chimp, c mom dude what are you ? some kind a big time loser? take that racist crap somewhere else....

  • A chimp, c mom dude what are you ? some kind a big time loser? take that racist crap somewhere else....

  • Chimps from the homefront1...... starting a typical comment that has to come from the deepest unearthly manner of pulling strings...... Oh, did I mention that the average chimp cannot think above the grade level of 3.... which is the same fragments of utilizing broken participles to create your comment. It is ashame that under the law anyone can make such free useless comments, though it was not only made for intellect, but the lack of as well.

  • @betofacco, you racist pig, your jealousy is showing...we can see it by the terms you use to describe one of the best guitarists ever to pick up the instrument. You shouldn't be allowed to post to a human forum...and we all know why. Go play a mindless video game with all of the other idiots...and leave the music lovers here alone.

  • can he play with his left hand or does he just tap all the time? i'm new to him and i'm getting hooked...

  • poop balls

  • es incrieble como no triunfan estos artistas

  • @PatricioEscalona

    Jajaj a lo mejor si lo emborrachamos, si hace un video porno o lo vestimos lo más ridículo que podamos... la pega.

  • @dustasdu en ese caso tomale una foto a tu madre, jajajajaja!!!

  • @maru3194

    Por qué no cerrás el culo? callate puto que nadie te hablo.

  • @dustasdu a que tu madre no pudo posar por andar dando culo por ahi?? juajajaja

  • @maru3194

    No, porque tu vieja fue primero y vos después :)

  • wow, like not hating on other great guitarist like page, clapton, slash, hendrix, etc

    i love them all

    but this guy deserves just as much recognition as them

    actually he can have claptons spot...

  • Chimps...LOL You are jealous thehomefront and I understand why...LOL

  • @betofacco your right, i am jealous, that chimp plays the guitar better than i could ever dream of playing it.

  • what's that axe he's playin'? ;)

  • fuckin racism kills the soul kills the spirt of the music so shut the fuck up and listen

  • What an ignorant...sloppy...misguided.­..."chimpy" statement to make you asshole!

    "Chimp this you bastard"!

  • i bet thehomefront looks like a pig.

  • That bassist moves like Kermit the frog!

  • The action on that guitar has to be SO low. High gain pickups and light gauge strings. I bet they ring when you breathe on them. I wouldn't want to be his guitar tech. Interesting cover though.

    The bass is legit.

  • Yes the Bass is bad ass yes indeed....

  • the Jordan version, Stairway to heaven

  • are there tht many racist ppl tht thehomefront's comment is the highest rated comment..wt the hell?..every heard of jimi hendrix or tony macalpine?

  • The home front, you're an absolut jerk. We have the proof in our eyes that a man shouldn't be destinguished by their colour, it's the most absurd guitar play ever, and you do racist comments. Oh, and there was another "Chimp" who played guitar, jimi hendrix, familiar with ? ... seriously, fuck yourself.

  • nyc playing...he must be a good keyboardist too :D george benson on bass???

  • @kingtrezable

    If you look him up he started as a pianist. So his style is often likened to the hammers on the strings of a piano. In fact if you look up his CD's he does the keyboard in some of his songs (plus all the guitars).

  • nyc playing...he must be a good keyboardist too :D

  • @thehomefront if that was your attempt as a Racist comment........then U R Sad.....have a good one......you couldnt do that on 1 guitar probably........

  • @thehomefront HAHAHAHA

  • @thehomefront lol, I thought that was a black joke, but then I looked and realised that he actually does look a lot like a chimp...

  • @thehomefront

    I doubt a chimp would play like that, but there's no doubt a chimp can come up with a less intelligent comment, thanks for proving me right.

  • @thehomefront fuck off

  • @thehomefront your thoughts are certainly subhuman.

  • Comment removed

  • la cara que hace

  • niggers skills

    

  • this guy is amazing! I want to know where the video of these three guys playing Return To Expedition part 1&2 ! THAT WAS ONE OF THE BEST BASS SOLO'S I HAVE EVER HEARD! Hats off to Charnette Moffit

  • he makes me want to buy an oversized yellow jacket and roll up the sleeves. damn you stanley...

  • I like the fact that the guys who always have the most to say about a musician have never even touched an instrument before in their meaningless little lives.

  • @legendofyeti just like gymnastic girls being judged by old people who can barely walk. Some people can play an instrument and the rest is there to appreciate the quality of their art, i wouldn't ignore an opinion of someone just because he/she cannot do it better.

  • @legendofyeti I don't think that last part was necessary :P

  • dont argue just enjoy the music. god you youtube people ruin music almost as much as the music industry does.

  • @lyndsayiu5 Hendrix is incredibly overrated. The 'Hendrix' chord was being used in jazz more than 20 years before Hendrix picked up the guitar. Hendrix was a brilliant musician and a brilliant songwriter, but he couldn't do this without a hell of a lot of practice.

    StefanJPage says "never speak bad of the roots" and he's right - except that the only reason Hendrix is named 'best' or 'THE root' is because the guys who were before him weren't mainstream.

  • @lordmartiler By mainstream do you mean in the public eye? If so (and I am guessing here) then how would anybody know who they are unless you are mainstream? Also, the majority of modern music stems from Jazz. If Hendrix lifted a cord and made it his own then full credit to him. I personally believe he is one of the greatest guitarist ever. Take care mate.

  • @lyndsayiu5 Hendrix is incredibly overrated. The 'Hendrix' chord was being used in jazz more than 20 years before Hendrix picked up the guitar. Hendrix was a brilliant musician and a brilliant songwriter, but ask him to play like Stanley Jordan and he'd be completely unable to for at least a year of hard practice.

  • @lordmartiler i think youre giving Hendrix too much credit as it is. i agree with you 100% that he's overrated.

  • his jacket is almost as awesome as his skills.... i've never seen someone play the guitar like that and make it sound THAT good.

  • dude!........enough said.

  • lets not overlook the awesome bass playing too.

  • @slickmon double bass please

  • @slickmon You are SOOOOO right about the bass

  • @slickmon You r rigth, the bass is insanely good.

  • @slickmon cello..

  • @gunsnroses0987 is basically a bass....

  • humanrights4all virtuoso Youtube comment poster

  • Who can dislike this ? I mean, come on.... this guy is amazingly good.

  • Guitar Virtuoso Stanley Jordan

  • Stanley is probably one of the greatest jazz guitarists of our time. This freaking rocks!

  • He's an hammeron genius

  • So much soul.

  • this is fuckin amazing!!

  • Its not tapping ....its right hand hammer on and pull offs.

  • @Druhgylie your dumb

  • @Druhgylie your dumb where the fuck do your see his right hand doing pull offs?

  • @Druhgylie its called the touch tap technique

  • master....

  • wow!

  • This guy blows my freaking mind. I can't even imagine how long he practiced to be able to play the way he does, but I'm inspired. I like the way Page did the solo better. but for fuck sakes, he's doing it with one hand!!

  • I love this...

    Nicely demonstrates how well a touchstyle guitar fits into a bass, keyboard and drums setting. The two guitars part took me by surprise, but it was to be expected, lol. And the final ripping through the top most frets displayed EXTREME accuracy...that area is super hard to play in touchstyle! His improvisations weren't half bad either...loved his phrases.

    BTW, can someone please tell me what stand can be used for that kind of guitar? (ZackKim style, if you will.)

  • este tipo es un capo !

  • If you close your eyes and listen to this..

    ..you feel something undescribable..

    don´t you?

  • what is the name of the bassist?

  • hes good. he strums once or twice and the rest is his fingers doin all the work with hermonics. hes like hendrix, yet not that good.

  • @parkourpop

    Can you explain "not that good"?

    I mean..how can we even discuss the level of "good", when we talk about "Gods of music"? This performance is incredible, godlike, and I speak as a 100% atheist..simply stunning performance..

  • @parkourpop "hes like hendrix"

    He's nothing at all like Hendrix, in my opinion, not even when he's covering Hendrix. SJ's modal, hyper-chordal, and super-technical bob style is nothing at all like the bendy, sloppy (not that that's bad), chord unsophisticated (again, not that that's bad) style of Hendrix.

  • @richcapo Did you just say Hendrix's chords were unsophisticated? Just look at the 'Hendrix' chord in Purple Haze. Hardly unsophisticated. There's a lot more behind Hendrix's work than you would think. Stanley Jordan is excellent, but he doesn't hold a candle to Jimi.

  • Shortest. Six minutes. Ever

  • sick bassist!

  • @voncoolio I know, right! That guy was man handeling that upright. lol.

  • la rompe... claramente

  • He has too much talent Awesome

  • Quando o instrumento toca ao musico... Maravilhoso!!!

  • Simply incredible--amazing...what more can be said...??

  • paraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!

  • me orgasmeo con ese sonidooo D:

  • PUTA QUE PARIU.

  • el negro este un GENIO

  • Increible...

  • por favor que musico!!!!!

  • I think I like this better than zeppelins version.

    Personal preference of course.

  • @yummygrncrayonz you must be a prick then

  • haha sound almost like victor wooten just with a guitar

  • K bien la toca el negro

  • ala mierda!!!!!! se jue al carajo!!

  • The best thing about him is that he stands while playing that and looks COOL! Usually those tappers looks stupid and not relaxes, he's fucking relaxed and oh oh words can't describe the feeling!!

  • exactly... he looks like the greatest guitarrists looks like... having fun playing... page, hendrix, srv, bb... may... not like these day retards who just suffer to play.... they have fun! and feel soooo good playing, this what make them greats... they don't have to put their soul into playing, because their soul and playing are together... and they have fun this way! the way it should be.

  • ...

    no words

  • pff.. s mi nuevo dioos!

  • He's the man!! Hell yeah!

  • a pinche negro ese es una reata

  • Joder el putisimo amo!! Si señor!!
