I listen to almost every genre of music and I would say there's so many subjective factors that go into an argument like this... but overall... if you quantified "the best ever" based on hey... Stanley Jordan can clearly do TONS of things with the guitar that other's can't, yet he's done everything I've seen others do... than yes. He's the best ever.
How could I have not heard Stanley before? I`ve been playing, studying and critically listening to to music for over 50 years, and I've never heard anything like this or seen such technique. My knees are weak! At first, I thought he was using a looper, but no, it's all live and impeccably played. Wow, just wow.
Think about it, if he were playing a piano he would be using his right hand and his left hand interchangeably playing the Baseline seemingly at random totally fluid and totally insane concept!
I heard Stanley Jordan one morning on NBC morning show. I called my boss, said, “I’m going to be a little late.” I got in my car, drove straight to Tower Records on Sunset, and bought Stanley’s first album. Still one of my favorites. For such a young guy, to hold his own with the legendary Chet Atkins is nothing short of hair-raising! Superb talents! We are so blessed!
I once saw Stanley, all alone,, in a small lounge, I was the only customer. Just me and him. I had no idea who he was,other than some kid working his way through college. But I was fascinated by his play.
There are many talented guitar players but every once in a while a freak of Nature comes along that is beyond talented. Stanley Jordon is one in a million.
@@jasondorsey7110 : I’m glad you seem to appreciate his musicality (ideas), not just his virtuosity (techniques) when most people pay attention only to the latter. They don’t understand virtuosity is a means to the end : musicality (ideas). But, his musicality is so wide and deep that there's not just a tinge of classical. He can play the real deal blues like no other, Coltrane tunes better than any other guitarist, as well as rock and pop. Needless to say, he can handle mainstream/straight-ahead jazz effortlessly and creatively. Like Wes, he’s a musician before a guitarist.
UNREAL? U GOT RIGHT! I CALL SJ MUSIC STYLE: 'ABSTRACT IDEOSYNCRACTIC MUSIC SOUND BITES.' BUT, NO QUESTION, SJ LOOKS NUANCED WITH THE GOD OF THE GUITAR. ATKINS, WHEN PLAYS HIS TECHNIQUEN STYLE, IS UNDISPUTABLLY N IMPECCABLY GRACEFUL N ELEGANT. SURE ATKINS, INDEED, IS A WORLD CLASS GUITARISTCITIZEN❤😂😅
Everybody thinks they understand the guitar until they witness Stanley the first time. Such an underrated - in the wider audience - genius. On par with Keith Jarrett.
Stanley Jordan is NO Chet Akins. Jordan music is just garbage boring noises. That's just my opinion. But no way I wud take Jordan for serious. Chet is my guy...world class guitarist. No comparison!!!
@@waynechan2804 Wes Montgomery schools Chet Akins, and George Benson, for the record. Stanley is off the grid, a pioneer guitar tapping artist, an incredible guitar solo improviser, who puts feel to the notes he plays. HIS MUSIC AIN'T GARBAGE, are you deaf GO LISTEN TO HENRY ROLLINS THEN..

3/21/2022 How in the world did I ever not know about Stanley Jordan until today. I'm sitting here watching his hands and I suddenly realized he was "Hammering" the strings with both hands, both hands. What a wonderful sound. I can see why Chet wanted to play guitar with Stanley. I don't even qualify to sweep the floor behind them, but it inspires me to pick up a guitar and learn to play, the right way, again. I have only been brought to tears, by a guitarist, two times, the first, Doyle Dykes version of "Free Bird" and now Stanley Jordon playing "Stairway to Heaven". Only one word describes this, MAGNISIFANT. ;-)
Don't need to look at any more UA-cam for awhile…totally satiated after seeing my original guitar hero, Chet Atkins, backed and so respectfully charmed by Stanley Jordan who took guitar playing to a new level…great concert…two great artists and gentlemen. Bravo!
Il love Chet, but that opening of Stanley Jordan is pure artistic channeling of something beyond this earthly plane . Saw Chet w Suzy Boggus at Carnegie Hall in the 90’s. Will never forget it. Thanks for your comment ☀️
What I love so much is musicians who can play anything with anyone. To see Stanley and Chet together, doing it, is the ultimate. I love finding these gems on my scenic tour of YT, to see what I didn't see when I was working and living and not paying much attention to the artistic side of TV.
Absolutely amazing and so rare: I just saw Chet smile and look interested. So much talent and he looks likes hes playing the last song at the Bowling alley gig at less than union rates.
Ha ha was thinking the same thing....my father sent me a link to a Stanley Jordan tune because he gets to go see him at the Cedar Cultural Centre (best music venue ever)...I was eating breakfast and about to go out with my guitar to practice on a rare Scottish sunny day...by the "why bother" voice has made its appearance. I won't listen to it....I shall be and become my own musician and will not compare myself to these incomparable virtuosic legends! I hope you are still playing!
Stanley shows great respect. What a pleasant video to stumble on Jimi Hendrix's passing, 44 years ago. I forgot how amazing SJ is. I an grateful to be cheered up with a breath of fresh air. God bless you, SJ
My grandmother, born in the 1890’s, played guitar using all fourths tuning as Jordan does and the hammer and pull technique. Not a new thing but he is better than any I’ve heard and deserves to stand with Chet Atkins as a master of the guitar.
By the way, Chet is 67 years old when this was done. Many of his critics will be lucky if they can stand up this long let alone play like him. Still and always will be the BEST!
I've seen a lot of Stanley's solo stuff, so this begins at 24:31 for me. The way their styles mesh is incredible. I recall Kurt Rosenwinkel playing with Clapton and it was like crows trying to mesh with a choir
First time really listening to Chet Atkins and focusing. Great talent. Enjoyed everything he played. Reminds me of Jeff Beck a bit. Stanley Clark is so enjoyable to listen to. Got to see him with Return To Forever in Boston playing progressive Jazz. Amazing no matter what he does and whom he plays with.
I don,t know what we'd do without the Japanese, recording and broadcasting these fine events,this talent would be lost forever.I bought Jordans first 2 Cd's. Don't know how well they sold but it couldn't have been enough to reward this young man.
Mr. Chet Atkins is truly my guitar action hero!! I love the extented way he reinvented Travis Picking' . On every availible performance, you see him smiling and enjoying doing his thing :)
Two of the major virtuoso/innovators of guitar technique, together. I only wish Lenny Breau'd been alive to add his uniquely sophisticated approach with harmonics to the proceedings.
I love both of these guys. But Chet is a great role model for the guitarist. Was never afraid to challenge himself. Learned how to use just about any technique, and he inspired more people to play a certain way, and they don't even now it most of the time. What a great man. Music wouldn't be what it is without him.
Se existe uma definição para a palavra Gênio seria Stanley Jordan! Incrível! Chet Atkins, um patrimônio do mundo da Guitarra, um criador, totalmente, necessário, imprescindível!
you are correct. He is two aliens inside of one human. Technically that makes him THREE people.. bass chord and melody... that HAS to be it..LOL its just crazy what he is doing. BAKA!~!
WOw, thanks for posting this, and glad I found it. I'm out there in the audience, one of my all time favorite concerts. Primarily because, well, it's Chet, and anyone who learned to play guitar in the 60s and 70s was influenced by him even if we weren't country fans . . . and Stanley Jordan ain't no hack either . I'm pretty sure though, that Chet played a beautiful rendition of his arrangement of Vincent as an encore, which sadly is missing here . . .unless that was in an alternate universe . . .
It's probably Chet you hear on the bass. Plays bass two (three) strings for rhythm alternately while playing the melody at the same time with the fingernails on his other fingers. Calls it "Fingerstyle" Guitar. He has fired many bass players, saying why are they needed, and "it saves money, folks."
Andres Segovia, Les Paul, Joe Pass, Chet Atkins, Glen Campbell, Jimi Hendrix, Carlos Santana, Stanley Jordan, Mark Knopfler, Jacob Collier ... all geniuses in their own right who have added to the music in a unique and remarkable way. Honor them all. 🙌🏼🙏🖖🏻
Wow, it's like Jordan is playing piano on guitar(s), if you know what I mean. Incredible. Sort of leaves Beck, Clapton, and Page in the dust. I thought I knew how to play guitar. Then I watched this.
Iam absolutely overwhelmed with surprise, never thought a person cd play guitar without a plectrum and as be asfast as all that, it's like it's not happening really the young man is talented
yup, I just will hang around this here campfire, where I'm sure everyone is preoccupied with whiskey and conversation. I don't think other than Michael Hedges I see guitar so magical. THose tap fingers! beautiful. and Mr. Guitar. I live to see musical evolution.
Stanley was TRULY Blessed to be able to Perform with The Great Chet Atkins. Save Hendrix Global Impact, Atkins Is Probably THE Greatest Guitar Virtuoso, Ever!!! Not only is he a SUPERIOR Guitarist But, he Excels at Bringing OUT the Best in whom he's Playing With. In English? The Most Unassuming MASTER of ANY Craft, Ever!! (Look him up) By the way, Stanley Jordan? Cool As The Other Side Of The Pillow!!!
I wasn’t prepared for this 😯😯
I saw him in the French Quarter in the early 80's. He's arguably the best guitarist ever!

Not a freak,just a devoted ,talented ,musician,making at least some of this world, a better place ,by his talent.
I've never seen a guitarist play like Stanley Jordan. A truly amazing and gifted musician.
look up Thumbs Carlisle or Jeff Healey. Once the novelty of his technique wore off, Jordan faded quickly. He just didn't make listenable music...
@@Nitromessiah : What a stupid thing to say.

Wow, can you see the mutual admiration and respect these two have for one another.. or what? Two eras of guitar excellence are on display here.
Never heard of SJ till I watched this. One hell of a talent.
I love the beautiful melodies that come out of Stanley Jordan's guitars.
Just as I thought guitaring couldn't get any better I then come across this guy.........UNBELIEVABLE.
Thanks for sharing . Huge fan of Stanley Jordan and Chet Atkins R.I.P.
Love both players’ restraint. It takes amazing talent to play so delicately. Really brilliant.
Jordan and Atkins jamming, so awesome to watch. Great way to start my morning!
In my twenties around 1986 I saw Stanley's performance in Montreal;it was mind blowing......
Two of the most humble gentlemen on the planet
Simply great!!!! Two styles that complement each other!!! Bright!!!🎸🎸🎸
NO WAY SJ STYLE IS CRACKPOT WHILE CHET IS STYLE IS TRULY FAMILY ENTERTAINMENT!!!❤😅😅
CHET ATKINS, WITHOUT A DOUBT IS THE BEST GUITARIST THAT EVER HAS PICKED A GUITAR, AND ALWAYS WILL BE !!!!
Il love Chet, but that opening of Stanley Jordan is pure artistic channeling of something beyond this earthly plane .
Saw Chet w Suzy Boggus at Carnegie Hall in the 90’s. Will never forget it.
Thanks for your comment ☀️

I love the guitar and my favorits is Chet Atkins, Earl Klugh and really love Stanley Jordon.. My day is complete with this wonderful music.
I didn't know about Stanley Jordan before but now I do... AND I got to see another Chet Atkins concert. AMAZING
This man consistently leaves me sleechless .His level of talent is immeasurable..
*speechless
The guitarist that all guitarists want to be like. So much talent, and look at the size of his hands, god given.
Absolutely amazing and so rare: I just saw Chet smile and look interested. So much talent and he looks likes hes playing the last song at the Bowling alley gig at less than union rates.
I was at this concert-outside in Saratoga, Ca. I knew I was gonna get my mind blown w/these virtuosos. And I did!!!
Two true masters of the instrument. Just doesn't get much better than this, ladies and gentlemen.
What an absolute gem - just doesn't get any better, does it.
On 'Stairway to heaven' he's playing 2 guitars and 2 foot pedals at once! Holy crap!!! Amazing!
I come to videos like this for motivation to get better but they never fail to make me want to quit guitar.
