I only recently came across Jack Pearson and Ive been watching all I can find from him on TH-cam. Master guitar player and one of the coolest guys on the scene. Hats off Mr.Pearson. 👍🏻
That was one of the tastiest blues improvisations I have ever heard. It didn't sound like a catalog of old blues licks, it sounded like the guitar was just singing
Jack seems like the kind of person you have known for a long time. He is so at ease playing and talking about the music. One of those awesome players you never get tired of listening to.
He has to one of the smoothest effortless players of all time. So many talented players that never get the recognition they deserve for the time they have put in
I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Pearson at The Big House a few years ago. He entertained more than a few people who were fortunate to be on the 3rd floor (because it was raining) at the GAABA members jam that Sunday. He amazed us with his version of Whipping Post played on mandolin! The hair was standing up on my arms!
Always thought I would need an ES335 for jazz but that Les Paul sounds good to me. Changed my mind in thinking a Les Paul was mainly for heavy distortion sounds. It really sounds good clean.
@@maraviyoso8473 good humbuckers sound no worse than P90s ... they were in fact designed to sound the same as P90, just without the hum.. they have to be unpotted
Lives and plays in Nashville. Doesn't tour except when he was in the Allman Brothers.Saw him and his band at 3rd and Lindsley a couple of years ago. Incredible live.
This guy is phenomenal! He's new name to me but, as Fate has quite unexpectedly made me the owner of not one but two Les Pauls in as many months (always played Strats and Teles till now), I will practice these licks until I'm good enough to make a vid of my efforts.
One has to reevaluate the list of greatest guitarists after hearing Jack play- if Jimmy Page and Jimi Hendrix and Tommy Emmanuel and Jeff Beck stop and listen and drool and gawk in amazement then you know they experienced the top of the mountain of guitarist with Jack sounding like a God to them. Blues-Jazz-Rock-Rock-a-Billy- southern rock- he is a master of all style’s. Thank you lord.
Aint into jazz, was just surfin along and found this really cool laid back virtuoso. Gonna have to do some research. LOVE that LP!!! All the beautiful sounds he was getting out of it mmmmm mmmmm good!
I'm looking to buy a 1st guitar(2nd technically as I had one briefly years ago) and it's nice to see someone get such a clean jazz tone on a les paul. Gives me another option, though I'd be getting an Epiphone.
It is SO cool that he gives props to Wes Montgomery! I remember the first time I heard him was when I was a young teen obsessed with the Allman Bros. He is just so awesome.
Nah either practice harder or take up the bass lol! That's what I do plus the piano! Anyways I'd rather be known as a musician than a guitar player any day! Not that Jack isn't a musician because he definitely is.
He's not famous and has a very low key personality but I defy anyone that he is not in the top 100 guitarist of all time ...living or dead. He plays the guitar like a person reads a book with no though of how hard it is or what's the next sentence or am I pronouncing this right, Crazy gift he has.
I fumble around on YT looking for players I like and... here is this guy. I LOVE THIS GUY! What the hell? I've never heard of him, which is either my problem for not getting out much or his for not getting out much - ha ha.
The first Les Paul he was playing is a great Jazz guitar. I play Jazz on my Les Paul Standard, It has 57 Classic p'ups, and it has a great Jazz tone. I sold my L5 because i prefer the LP ! The LP has great sustain , and it responds when I lean on it. The archtops kinda have the same tone , no matter. BTW Jack is fabulous , huh ?
Jack tell Murfreesboro for me. Texas is a long way from central high school. I m glad you made your home a place to remember. Great job on the guitar. My one question is are you related to Kathy. I went to school in Mboro with a Kathy Pearson. None the less. Thanks
Funny.. who doesn’t dream of a 59 or 57 beautiful burst- but have never gotten, nor ever hears a great jazz- tone- from one. Pretty? Yes. Warm? Yes. But for me, just something missing. Benson played one early on. It just to me sounds - dry?? Beautiful jazz tones on All fenders, and all gibsons- just don’t hear it on a Paul. On the other hand…. Duane…magic.
I think you meant orthogonally -- which I had to look up. Thanks for teaching me a new word! In any, case, hardly anybody really does play orthogonally, and his long fingernails on the left hand STILL seem like they would make playing quite difficult.

chet akins

@@topografer so hes a master master guitar player

I’m a pretty decent guitarist... But this is so far beyond me it might as well be on Pluto. What an amazing and true master.

Jack Pearson, such a beautiful soul. Love his playing so much!
The stuff this man plays is beautiful. And for someone that can play such beautiful music, he's very unassuming; I love it.
He's sooo good yet makes it look sooo effortless.

Great guy. One of my alltime favorite players...
I love these guys from the south that plays jazz on les pauls and are able to play some really authentic blues as well!
Dickey Betts grew up with, among other things...Western Swing...which is jazz based.
A Les Paul is first for jazz.
Such a wealth of knowledge and talent. And super humble.
Always thought I would need an ES335 for jazz but that Les Paul sounds good to me. Changed my mind in thinking a Les Paul was mainly for heavy distortion sounds. It really sounds good clean.
Les Paul himself was a jazz guitarist...
Anything with P90s, Les Pauls, SGs, etc., are what we need.
@@maraviyoso8473 good humbuckers sound no worse than P90s ... they were in fact designed to sound the same as P90, just without the hum..
they have to be unpotted
whhhhaaat?! good lawwd! how is this guy not more well known?!?! SMDH! new favourite guitarist. and so versatile! BOSS
Lives and plays in Nashville. Doesn't tour except when he was in the Allman Brothers.Saw him and his band at 3rd and Lindsley a couple of years ago. Incredible live.
Exquisite sound I could hear all day, and my ears will never grow fatigued.
What an incredible musician. Thanks so much.... Shally
Finally someone who knows how to get a Jazz tone out of a Les Paul. It ain't hard folks, cmon...
Lol ikr
its original purpose is to be a jazz guitar, its made for it
You should hear him on a hundred dollar Squire, just as impressive. Jack is on another level
This guy is really, really good. He either practices a whole lot or he has just got it. Can you hear it? That guitar is singing.
wasn't the Les Paul initially built for Jazz?
This guy is phenomenal! He's new name to me but, as Fate has quite unexpectedly made me the owner of not one but two Les Pauls in as many months (always played Strats and Teles till now), I will practice these licks until I'm good enough to make a vid of my efforts.
Holy shit, what a great musician!
Fabulous!!! What a great guitarist
That smooth touch man...

I really wish someone would upload the rest of this, this lesson was amazing!

Enjoy
Wow, he's got great tone. I really like him, he's a fantastic player, but he's so modest and nice. Very cool.
Aint into jazz, was just surfin along and found this really cool laid back virtuoso. Gonna have to do some research. LOVE that LP!!! All the beautiful sounds he was getting out of it mmmmm mmmmm good!
Buy his CDs the bang
A great and under appreciated guitar player! 👍👍
this is some damn good stuff, i wanna learn all those jazz chords
8 people' disliked' this - can you believe that? Anyway - what an exquisite musician - thanks for this Jack
yeah, their favorites are the guys in Dragon Force
And they keep procreating... they became 11 at this point! Unbelievable!
@@mathiasmazz Envy.
I never heard of him . Great
A sensational player.
Jack's the best of the best of the best!!!

Nobody played like Jack Pearson... 👏
It is SO cool that he gives props to Wes Montgomery! I remember the first time I heard him was when I was a young teen obsessed with the Allman Bros. He is just so awesome.
Make sure you subscribe for more vids! - th-cam.com/users/PMTVUK
Excellent and mellow sound
What a nice bloke, and a very good guitar player.
This is just AMAZING!! 👌🏻

Genius at work. And Dickey and the rest knew it, too.

He is sublime
some nice soft relaxing music. i love this kind of music. i wanna learn how to play it >.
unbelievable jazz knowledge
I guess I can take my guitar and make a nice clock out of it..
lol...me too!
Nah either practice harder or take up the bass lol! That's what I do plus the piano! Anyways I'd rather be known as a musician than a guitar player any day! Not that Jack isn't a musician because he definitely is.
Don't give up!!!
yeah, I'm gonna sell my guitars, start playing the flute
Jack Pearson could make a better clock than you out of a worse guitar. :p
One thing is for sure..He was born to play..
To my shame I'd never heard of Jack Pearson - what a musician!
same here, but glad i just did.
なんて優しい指使いなんだろう。心地良過ぎる。
@pistonear - This is a Les Paul Standard. The origanal Les Paul Standard Pro had P-90 pickups also known as soap bar pickups.
One of them Jack played a theolonius monk tune with bottle neck slide! I think it was Well You Needn't!
Such an incredible player! He sure made my day but I kind of feel as small as a grain of ride.....
Sooooooo impressed!
🎸🎸🎸
no doubt, a master guitarist
He's not famous and has a very low key personality but I defy anyone that he is not in the top 100 guitarist of all time ...living or dead. He plays the guitar like a person reads a book with no though of how hard it is or what's the next sentence or am I pronouncing this right, Crazy gift he has.
Wow! awesome playing and tone. I didn't know Jeff Foxworthy played guitar. lol
Sweet tone..
You voice is mysterious Sir :) I'll watch it again later
i think i just found a new guitar hero!
Totally agree! very knowledgeable and I like his conversational approach to what he knows.
I fumble around on YT looking for players I like and... here is this guy. I LOVE THIS GUY! What the hell? I've never heard of him, which is either my problem for not getting out much or his for not getting out much - ha ha.
I know thats right
My mind is blown !!!
The 2nd les Paul. The sound.. The look.. The feel and playing. Yummy.
The first Les Paul he was playing is a great Jazz guitar.
I play Jazz on my Les Paul Standard, It has 57 Classic p'ups, and it has a great Jazz tone.
I sold my L5 because i prefer the LP !
The LP has great sustain , and it responds when I lean on it.
The archtops kinda have the same tone , no matter.

Fabulous ❤
This guy could sit down with any of us Galax pickers and have a good time!
this guy is awesome!
Guthrie Trapp turned me on to Jack Pearson and this is a GREAT guitarist.
Such great tone! What amp are you using here? Thanks -
Love his accent!
Thank you for posting this!
Sorry to get technical for a minute, but I'm always amazed how long his finger nails on the left hand are.
The Bob Ross of Guitars
Jack tell Murfreesboro for me. Texas is a long way from central high school. I m glad you made your home a place to remember. Great job on the guitar. My one question is are you related to Kathy. I went to school in Mboro with a Kathy Pearson. None the less. Thanks
probably the best jazz guitarist on youtube
and very modest (not like the french )
He's the master!

very cool
Anybody know what pickups he uses?

Fantastic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He goes from Wes Montgomery to Duane Allman! No messing around. All music.
Awesome
WOW! anyone know the amp or pedal used for the crunchy tone?
It's an epiphone Valve Standard combo i guess (dunno if it helps so many years later xD )
Great!
The Best
Jack can make a Les Paul do what it was intended to do which is sing....🎸🎸🎸
The chambered LesPaul seems to be his favorite.
He prefers lighter guitars.
does anyone know if this would be closer to a 50s or a 60s model les Paul?
I would say a 59.. ( can be a reissued of course)
Wow
Anyone who can tell me what tuning he tuned up to in part 1??
with gibson les paul is this? classic, standard or studio??
where can I find part 1-4 please?
I have no idea how he plays so cleanly with such long fingernails on his left hand.

I can play that! Hold my beer!

He would make the broom sound great
dang
