Stanley Jordan and all-fourths tuning is the story of the change caused by the crash.

🤯 What if one virtuoso guitarist discovers a technique that completely redefines his individuality - by chance? Stanley Jordan and all-fourths tuning is the story of a change caused by a small mistake when he was just 11! 🎸✨

Stanley Jordan is a world-renowned guitarist for his two-hand tapping technique that enabled him to play the guitar like a piano. Strum the melody and chord simultaneously with both hands on the fretboard. The story started when he got his first guitar at the age of 11 and the instruction book that tells him to tune the low E strings to a 'good listening' position, allowing him to develop all-fourths tuning where every interval between the strings has the same 4-step spacing. This makes the chord shape and scale pattern symmetrical uniformly throughout this fretboard tuning fits the two-hand tapping style. His perfectly. And became the foundation of the sound that set Stanley Jordan apart from other guitarists in the world. 🎶

🎸 All-fourths tuning (E-A-D-G-C-F) replaces normal standard tuning - making the fretboard into a symmetrical grid that fits the two-hand tapping technique strongly.
