I mean...the first person comes to mind is the genius revolutionary "Stanley Jordan"

He really turned everything upside down. The fact that he understood the concept of tapping strings could be brought into melody on guitar.

We love to talk about Eddie Van Halen with the tap guitar method, but we always forget Stanley outside of the guitar afficiandos. Which it shouldn't be like that, because he's a pioneer & pretty easy to listen to.

Even the producer is a guitar virtuoso of this record "Al Dimeola" and they knew how important Stanley was.

Yea, I will come back with other suggestions. But I've always loved Stanley. He's also a savvy entrepreneur. He kickstarted his own career by playing on the streets of NYC making a living because he made more than he could at the clubs. Then he funded his own solo record and got signed immediately to Blue Note Records.

I didn't know that he couldn't play in clubs. The way he plays it should be more celebrated but for some reason people had a hard time catching on. In a lot of ways it looks easier to play chord changes. It actually makes more sense to play the way he plays, it's more economic.
