you still missing the point dikki ??????? I guess there are none so blind as those that choose not to see......

It could not be any clearer. The arranger keyboard is not the limitation. It is the creativity and imagination of the player.

Jordan probably has never even touched an arranger keyboard. He is an endorser of some korg products as he has also endorsed roland and kurzweil. That does not mean that he has played or had a hand in every product from the respective manufacturers range. But i am confident that if he got under the hood of an arranger for solo performances like this clip, we would not even be discussing this point.

Simply take the point. What Jordan did if we had the chops could be replicated on an arranger keyboard and whats more because of the deeper chordal possibilities on an arranger, and the quicker registarion/one touch settings , the techniques Jordan used could be applied to thousands of different performances with out the need to preprogramme functions as he had to do on his workstation to mimic what an arranger does as bread and butter functions.

Jordan was clearly using his work station as a mock up arranger.

The guitarists were certainly creative within the limitations of the instrument they used. An arranger almost has limitless possibilities and therefore its impossible to compare the level of creativity that could be achivied using one compared to a guitar player using everything they can within the limitations of wood and string to express themselves. its different types of creativity. Not necessarily different levels.

But what is clear is that if a highly dedicated and talented musician works within the limitation of whatever instrument they own, great things can happen.
