Stanley Jordan is famed for his mastery of a special "tapping" technique on the guitar's fret board, while ukulele player Jake Shimabukuro is renowned for lightning-fast fingers and revolutionary playing techniques. Both artists are reaching new heights of fame: fans are posting boot-leg videos of each artist on Youtube. Each is known for their interpretations of some classic rock greats and both pay tribute to The Beatles with Jake’s “While My Guitar Gently Weeps” and Stanley’s “Eleanor Rigby.”
