STANLEY JORDAN

The album is called "Magic Touch." I mean, he's tapping on the cover!

I just got this for Evan Evans. The record comes with a warning (I wish I was making this up):

"Warning: Do not be deceived. Despite what your ears might tell you, there is only one guitarist on this album. And there are no guitar overdubs whatsoever. This may be somewhat difficult to grasp upon first hearing since there clearly separate and independent guitar lines on the nine cuts herein."

He perfected the two-handed tapping technique on street corners, according to the enthusiastic bio on the back of the record sleeve. Great sentence: "About six months after discovering the advantages of tuning in fourths, Stanley began playing around with the two-handed technique." Quincy Jones thanks Stanley thusly: "You and Wynton have made my last five years."
