...where does Eleanor Rigby appear? None of that was Eleanor Rigby.

hi!! that song is not the same version that the beatles played, is just a jazz improvisation over the mains theme of that song

this shit makes me want to put all of my guitars, amps, and everything else in a pile, throw gas on them, and burn them.

Stanley Jordan is more than talented at guitar. He has gift with music.

[UtBDan]

holy crap. I posted that 5 years ago.

I mean it was cool then and its cool now, just weird how one changes.

@UtBDan Around 1:10 but he embellishes parts of it.

@rantsraves I know, right? Use it as a coffee table because I can't play the thing like that.

Great guitarist!

[BreathingTheDark]

this is fucking ridiculous....

I wonder what the grades were at Indiana that year?! I mean they obviously gave him straight 'A's, but then how could they give 'A's to anyone else, when here was this towering virtuoso radically reinventing guitar playing before their very eyes?!

I'm curious also as to WHEN this video was recorded. I'm guessing it was back when Jordan was at Indiana University as an Undergraduate student.

I highly recommend his instructional DVD (do a search at Amazon). It's completely fascinating because you learn how he evolved from playing guitar the 'regular' way to the two-handed method. His genius is what caused him to continually reach beyond things as they seem to be.

amazing work on guitar. and a great cover in ts won right. But if you truely believe that the original version of this song is crap, thanyou sir hav absolutley no real taste in music do you?
