[edit] Touch Sensitive
If anyone wants to know my evidence for the existence and date of Touch Sensitive, I have a copy. And if anyone wants to know why I speculated on whether Jordan has disavowed it instead of e-mailing him, I did send an e-mail to the contact address at his Web site, but it bounced. —JerryFriedman 20:08, 9 Feb 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Pressing the string against a specific fret
Don't you always press behind the fret, whether you're playing with touch technique or the "normal" way? —JerryFriedman 20:10, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
- Correct. The differences to normal plucking are: You do the "pressing" with 8 to 10 finger-tips, not just 4; it is rather quick, short tapping than pressing and holding; no plucking. --Waldirei 22:51, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Changes 06-01-30
Took out Jordan is the only guitarist known to use two-handed tapping techniques predominantly, and has developed it to a remarkable degree. No longer factually correct - ehm, since the 1990s - another giant (musically and technically) is very active, Enver Izmailov. (There's life outside the US ;-) --Waldirei 22:48, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] ASU vs. Princeton
The text says he went to Princeton, but the article has the category ASU. Why? Semiconscious • talk 05:29, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
