Curious if anyone knows as to why he changed his last name. 74.214.125.170 (talk) 02:47, 24 November 2009 (UTC)

What about putting a section about him being totally overrated? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.112.7.114 (talk) 23:40, 2 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Obviously, that's a subjective topic and a non-issue for an encyclopedia article. But if you're referring to the tone of the article, I agree it sounds like marketing copy, probably just copied and pasted from an official bio.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.108.103.161 (talk) 09:35, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

How about some musical critique, or chart popularity?
When I'm looking through the various file-locker music posting sites, and I see a string of Mike Stern cd's with their corresponding hot-file or rapid-share download links, it would be useful to have some idea as to what sort of style this guy has (since I'm not familiar with him). Or perhaps some sort of info about how high his CD's ranked in terms of popularity, top 100 jazz charts, etc. Otherwise I have no choice but to download his stuff from file-locker sites and just to get an idea if I like it.

Here's an example:

String gauges
It says that he uses .11 - .38 fender nickel strings. Does not seem to be logical numbers and the link just goes to guitar players wiki page and not an article. I am going to remove it .11 - .58 is what they might of meant but without a link to something I can not tell for sure--65.182.254.156 (talk) 19:08, 16 May 2014 (UTC)

Here is what I removed: Stern uses Fender nickel-wound strings, .011 - .038. --65.182.254.156 (talk) 19:09, 16 May 2014 (UTC)

Shifted from...?
"At the Berklee College of Music in Boston his focus shifted to jazz."

From what? It is silly to talk about a shift in focus before talking about where his focus had been. GeneCallahan (talk) 18:38, 14 December 2014 (UTC)
