External Link

the second external link when describing jordan as the hardest song is broken. i'd remove it but i'm not sure how, exactly, without making it look bad. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Soulpopped (talk • contribs) 14:40, 13 April 2007 (UTC).[reply]

its not the "hardest" because hard means differently for some people like close frets, switching chords, strumming fast, cant change from chords to frets, it should be the most difficult because you pretty much have to use hammer-ons to pass. ~Jake

MySpace Link

Buckethead does not have an official MySpace page and should not be mentioned without a link. --Vixus 13:42, 20 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

this song isnt even on the myspace that is there.

I come from the future, 2019. What is this MySpace you speak of?

chicken picking

There's no chicken picking in this song, whoever added that was probably thinking of the bridge, where the guitar makes a chicken-like sound. Chicken picking is a type of hybrid picking, not the technique Buckethead used.

Key signature

The key signature would be a nice addition Vijay01 18:20, 2 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

"Rumors"

Most had believed that the solo played during the Guitar Hero II version of Jordan could not be played, even by Buckethead himself. This however has been disproven due to a video of him playing the Guitar Hero II solo of the song at the James Brown tribute concert.

I don't get it. Why wouldn't Buckethead not be able to play his own song? --Ouzo (talk) 13:57, 10 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Though a late response, people thought he couldn't play it live, but he had recorded each of the solos seperatley, or that he laid down three guitar tracks. There were alot of rumors that rised from the Guitar Hero II community about how he recorded the song. But he proved them wrong at the James Brown Tribute.

Inclusion of HellAshes's Jordan FC

I've noticed a lot of reverts concerning Scorehero's HellAshes FCing Jordan. While I agree it is a great accomplishment, it really doesn't belong in this or any article per WP:FAN. This article is about the song, not about what happens in Guitar Hero. --Ouzo (talk) 19:15, 22 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Guys, the solo is 15.47 notes per second

Please see http://www.bradleyzoo.com/GuitarHero/gh2-ps2/expert/jordan.blank.png for the official Guitar Hero chart for which the song was recorded. The tempo is 116 BPM (constant for the whole song), and the notes are 32nd notes, which means 32 notes per measure or 8 per beat. (116 beats/minute)*(1 minute/60 seconds)*(8 notes/1 beat)=(15.466666...notes/second) 71.203.126.49 (talk) 06:56, 3 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Background?

This article should concentrate on the technical difficulties and musical values of the actual song, not how it is known because it is featured on guitar hero or whatever. People can learn this song on guitar hero for a couple of months but few will ever be able to play the actual song, let alone coming up with it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.50.94.184 (talk) 00:41, 21 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

integral part of cyberculture

Unreliable ghit numbers and a joke article do not support the claim that the song "is an integral part of cyberculture." That claim is not a neutral point of view and is original research unless you have a relisble source that directly supports the information as it is presented. Sources do not come close to supporting that claim. Duffbeerforme (talk) 16:45, 6 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Did you ever look at the Ghits? I reworded it a bit.--Avant-garde a clue-hexa Chord ² 17:02, 6 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Technique

The part in technique that says "The off-beat (which would be syncopated) 16th note rhythm scheme is reminiscent of..." directly contradicts the pictures that show the rhythmic notation of the piece, which clearly show the riff as being in straight 16ths. The mistake could be made in that the killswitch makes the riff sound *vaguely* syncopated. The wording should be changed, or the supporting notation changed to reflect the 'syncopation'. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.38.223.233 (talk) 09:35, 16 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Move discussion in progress

There is a move discussion in progress on Talk:Christmas Steps (song) which affects this page. Please participate on that page and not in this talk page section. Thank you. —RM bot 13:16, 2 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Just seen this, so perhaps this should be at [Jordan (Buckethead composition)] but either way, the hymn by William Billings is more notable in books. In ictu oculi (talk) 06:35, 27 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
