Jazz Guitarist Stanley Jordan Performs 'Treasures'

[@Ryukyagamisan]

one of the most underrated guitarists of all time.

[@dariorivas3579]

Who underrates this guy? He's always been the tits and people have always agreed.

[@fdmg]

He has never been underrated. He hit the stage with the all-time greats almost immediately after being discovered.

[@HeavyProfessor]

Amel Windom true dat

[@mikeshefton]

ur kidding...my man aint underrated.......most agree he will go down as the worlds best guitarist.

[@radjet]

Never underrated. Always known as one of the great guitar innovators

[@manny75586]

Stanley Jordan is one of the most criminally overlooked guitarists ever. Simply fantastic and innovative.

[@shanilarnabofficial6969]

As a guitarist I will tell you how most of us feel about him. We look at Satriani, Eric Johnson, and so many others and we wanna learn everything they do so we can be like them at some point. We look at Stanley and we say 'nope, not happening'

[@ckdamoneking9622]

This guy is on another level of skill. Love Stanley Jordan, pure genius.

[@SpencerDavis2000]

I remember this movie Blind Date. I used to listen to Stanley Jordan all the time back when this movie came out because I was practicing guitar like 6 hours a day and he was somebody I thought was amazing. So I remember him in this movie for sure. He is totally amazing :-)

[@joel8583]

That's where I first became aware of him. Excellent musician he is!

[@monwell250]

This is why i like youtube...the people with talent you don't know exist! Thanks for uploading

[@virnalinebrida-sunga7748]

Monwell Levi this dude started tapping way before van halen

[@tzl9]

Monwell Levi You must be very young..

[@jibicusmaximus4827]

I discovered him on British TV about thirty five years ago..

[@chuckthurmond]

I was blown away when I first heard his music in the 1980s. Still amazing.

[@MrBighairyass]

Dude is in his 60's but looks 35...that's the real talent...

[@Breakbeat90s]

yeah bro get plastic surgery, nice talent

[@cmichalski420]

Like They always say black don't crack

[@Leekix]

We age in the hands first.

[@crosswalklarry]

This was 10 years ago. 55

[@frbmp5100]

OMG, been listening to his music for almost 30 years. Time sure flies fast.

[@josephshultz6726]

Mr. Jordan must be the most unorthodox guitarist ever. There is no denying his wonderful compositional skill, harmony, melody, rhythm. Really incredible.

[@safertoday]

I'm so thankful my dad introduced me to Stanley's music when I was growing up!

[@scottfeeney695]

Oh man... that was so beautiful Stanley. Your playing is amazingly as always, and so lyrical. Incomparable. 😱✨💕✨

[@lamplighter1984]

pure magic... brings happyness and calmness.. just like it was in childhood.. and a really awesome musical thought and technique.. technique, when the idea is FIRST...

[@JesseWilliams-ii9xs]

Saw him at Blues Alley in DC, great venue. Sat 3 feet from him, to see his fret work that close up is unreal, mesmerizing

[@BernardoMattosBattifora]

This is the sweetest guitar piece ever done

[@nakadai4444]

It is so beautiful, always Stanley Jordan, super natural talent, God bless you brother....

[@NewhorizonsA]

There are many two handed guitarist at this time, but Stanley adds his own style and touch to the guitar that makes his music original. I remember him playing stairway to heaven and somewhere over the rainbow and those songs really shine!

[@NewhorizonsA]

Cool music to chill to and become inspired by a music legend!

[@fabiencourtoistapping]

jdsongwriter invitation to look at my version of stairway to heaven on tapping ! more than 19000 view . thank !! and thank to stanley jordan to give inspiration !

[@junkscorpion7011]

That is definitely a vibe song my favorite song from him Treasures is phenomenal.

[@dankhumordog5672]

This guy is a mad scientist. thats some maniacal playing, never seen anything like it.

[@cristianosanseverino4899]

Had a masterclass with him back in 2013, his only advice was to drink a lot of water. I felt robbed but fascinated at the same time.

[@dankhumordog5672]

@@cristianosanseverino4899 He might be on to something tbh.

[@MrDonaldmusika]

This guy came from another planet!!

[@AntonioAlves-wm8ie]

[@animabranding7989]

Just now I'm watching blind date movie ( my 80's Sunday) and paused it to search the guitarrist, now I'm watching this haha. crazy

[@maryquint3254]

I saw him in concert 30 years ago. He was amazing

[@heavenlyguitar5913]

A truly gifted man. 😊🎸🦅

[@franciscoaragao5398]

Love from Brasil, Mr. Jordan. Obrigado.

[@pamelajohnson7813]

Blind Date is where I first heard of Stanley Jordan & so glad I did!

[@morwickchesterham3875]

... beautiful... I was blown away

[@Janlaurenz75]

Love this guy!! still the best tapping player out there

[@maborosi]

Beautiful, organic and such feel.

[@rescuemethod]

I heard Stanley Jordan live at the Apollo in 2003 at the annual “A Great Night in Harlem” to benefit the Jazz Musicians’ Emergency Fund. So many great musicians, but Stanley Jordan stood out as a star among stars, a rare talent in a league of his own. Truly incredible, he gave a mind-bending performance. I was lucky to have passes to the after the event and met him and basically gushed and told him he was a genius and that I was blown away by what he could do with the guitar. He was humble and tolerated me, thanked me. In this video he is still humble and amazing, a true gift to the world.

[@ivandovranic1001]

This piece, in that movie, is how I've heard about this man.

[@DavidSmith-kz8lr]

Stanley Jordan is a GENIUS......Love his music....!

[@Gexxon]

Stanley is the kind of guitarist that either makes you give up playing or motivates you to get to his level. WOW! Which are you? lol

[@mistermistyc2219]

I'll take the challenge. Only practice makes perfect. Im just discovering this genius in 2024? I was born in 86. And as a musician myself Im pleasantly suprised to have found him on KZbin actually through Instagram. Just amazed !!

[@realguitarshredder]

I can’t do this in a hundred years. One of the best guitarists of all time and an absolute unique and innovative legend.

[@gremmiehodad]

Quincy Jones discovered him playing on a street corner! Thought he was a really good guitarist playing to a tape of either himself or another really good guitarist! Turns out he was playing both parts at the same time through a boom box! Stanley's' double picking or tapping technique is unusual! He uses the callus on his fingers as picks!

[@DaveJudd]

Stan the man jordan, amazing.

[@_Nuvbian_]

I love this man so much!

[@ElFelasXD-ev5mv]

Lo conocí en la película "Blind date" de 1987 y por eso llegué a este video. Un gran guitarrista sin dudas!! Saludos desde Argentina!

[@rodhorne3281]

I've been a fan since the late 80's. Always amazed me that one person could play rhythm and lead at the same time. If you did not watch this, you would think that there were at least 2 people playing.

[@angelmercado1014]

This man is playing the guitar like a piano, amazing!

[@deldia]

There are quite a few players around doing things like this but the music comes first here. The arrangement is not compromised. You see a lot of acoustic guitar players just falling back to playing open chord tunings with very guitar-specific tonality rather than just performing a good arrangement by any standards.

[@joshuaplummer1274]

Stanley your my favorite...God bless

[@miloatlantis2549]

i saw him years ago at a small club. just unreal.

[@soulvaccination8679]

Dude is exceptional.Happy I ran across this.

[@shawnfranco1822]

Fantastic and amazing. I absolutely adore this phenomenal musician.

[@ge0metr1xx]

I'll never forget first seeing him play this in Blind Date. I recorded the movie just so i could listen to this when ever i wanted. That was long before KZbin ;D

[@oneoffasmr7971]

ge0metr1xx Really? I missed that, love that movie.

[@ninovella3721]

Il più grande chitarrista jazz che ci sia mai stato aldilà che suoni con una o due chitarre

[@CHUCKSURFcom]

Wow, just woooow, so crazy - never see something like that bevore - what a gift:)!

[@patrickvanrinsvelt4466]

When I saw Stanley the first time 30 years ago I was dumbfounded. Still am.

[@Mr99wonder]

great artist

[@platonic7272]

Just wonderful.. genius ❤

[@octavejrdacier5476]

WOWWWWW, BEAUTIFUL

[@florianlaur5300]

I always loved this song in Blind Date. Wonder whose idea it was to involve him? Maybe Bruce? Anyway, this song always makes me sad and melancholic and reminds me of my ex, cause I saw Blind Date with her once... I love how he closes his eyes and just FEELS the music...hate those people who make fun of people who sing with their eyes closed...or who wont feel touched by this!

[@tombstoneharrystudios584]

Bruce probably…he’s a keen singer and musician, released an album or two of R n B/Blues material…Bruce would have heard about him

[@robertfarrar9223]

Excellent job Mr. Jordan😊

[@mediastarguest]

Right hand is like a bass guitarist style the way he balances his thumb and taps the strings with his left.

[@fega1985]

The name speaks talent!
