Thanks so much for watching "Guitar Tours" and support my friend Jack Pearson!
Thanks so much for doing this. Jack is such a tasteful and nasty player, and a gentleman. Love it
this was a great one thanks Marty and Jack, great player seems like a great guy! Keep 'em coming!
Hey Marty I’d really appreciate it if you did a lesson on “I’m looking Through you” by the Beatles
Thanks for the like Marty! Keep doing what you do, ur groovy
Marty Music HEY MARTY, LISTEN TO MACHINE GUN BY JIMI HENDRIX. PLZZZZ MAKE A TUTORIAL. I'M DYING.
This video is a giant slap for all guitar snobs. His tone with the cheapest guitars is breathtaking!
So true I was thinking the same thing
Makes me feel better about my squier hss.. I love it but you always feel like you need a fender fender ya know.. and I swear check out the squier mini the one I bought for my daughter is amazing so fun
There’s nothing wrong with epiphones or squiers.
@@TheGrammarSmithy He mentions in other interviews that he had the frets dressed, the nut filed and the volume pot replaced on his first Bullet before gigging it. I imagine he did the same with all of his others as well.
Interesting point on the acoustic dollars as well. I bet there is some truth to that.
@@TheGrammarSmithy Weird, 'cause my old Indonesian strat (Squier Affinity) has incredibly smooth fret ends and somewhat "rolled" fretboard edges. It feels amazing
Jack is the man. He's possibly the greatest unknown guitarist in the world.
I'm 70 and Ive only just found him 😯😯
Okay so did that faux auto wah blow anyone else's mind? That blew me away haha. Awesome video, man. Definitely going to check Jack out more.
Reminiscent of peace frog
That’s real roots talent right there. I have to give that trick some study time
Jack Pearson - Once again proving it's all in the hands.
14:30 Jack's slide playing is just divine. FAR better than 99% of what I have heard, and this is just an impromptu jam - on a cheap guitar! You can tell Jack's a down-to-earth all-around nice guy.
I’m sure he plays expensive guitars probably just sayin that. Because he’s humble. (Some people like that sort of thing) im sure he plays more than a fender squire piece crap. Jack Pearson signature guitar probably cost lot more. I’m sure it’s not 100.000 dollars. Like $30:000 for a strat is cheap in america. Lol.
@@dannyhood4007 A personal friend here. It's just as advertised. The Squiers really are from Guitar Center and the most he has paid for any of them has been less than $175, tax included. There is no Jack Pearson signature guitar. While the fact that he has owned a particular guitar may add to it's value, he doesn't have any guitar that would be appraised for more than 5K. And if he doesn't play it, he doesn't own it. The only endorsement deal he ever had was with G&L, but that has expired.
Hope you allow me to rephrase it. He let his soul sing even through affordable guitars.
how did it sound??? before you saw it was just a squire how did it sound pretty fucking amazing so if it sounds good @@dannyhood4007
Contrary to popular belief many less known famous musicians are on a low budget and it’s better to play gigs with cheap guitars in case if it gets stolen. Also cheap guitars these days are shockingly good and potentially better than USA guitars especially after modding them. I own both USA and import guitars. I actually prefer my modded import guitars to be honest
Lovely guy and a formidable musician. As far as his love of Squiers is concerned, we are so fortunate these days to have such high quality instruments available to us. Modern manufacturing techniques mean that we can almost all afford a decent instrument. I'm 65 and remember the mostly terrible things we had to learn on - they were all that were available at modest prices. Thanks for this. Great interview.
I'm 64 and what I grew up playing were terrible things your so right
"I like the ones that are made in Indonesia..."
TONE IS 99% IN THE PLAYER.
The player makes great music but his tone is bland.... a great player can make a bland sound sound interesting this is the fact. Yes its OK through a good amp and pedals but it sounds very mediocre at best. Jack is a great player that is the difference. He WOULD sound better with a Strat with Virgil Arlo pickups or hell just put those pickups into his Squire!
I also got a sunburst Squier Bullet, couldn't believe how good it felt, and resonant, for that little money? You should trust your instincts, if it feels good and sounds good, it's Good :)
I purchased an Indonesian Squire because at the time I felt they were the best bang for the buck and built it with everything I love from the parts I liked best from every over priced guitar known to man and had a friend of mine finish off the fine details that were above my abilities and once finished everyone who plays it is stunned with the fit finish and most of all the frigging thing is the best sounding "Strat" I would ever want. I built it because a friend of mine told me the price of his next purchase and we made a gentleman's bet for a dollar that he would be upset when we put em through the paces side by side. Long story long. He not only paid me my dollar he wanted to purchase it from me. I had to say sorry this one's a keeper.I'll never sell it... ;)
I mean to be fair, Squiers are really well built for the price. I have owned far worse, more expensive mexican Strats. Cheap tuning mechanics are only annoying, but won't hurt your sound and you don't need really expensive special wood in these things. My first guitar was a 120€ Squier from eBay, after couple of years I put in new pickups and it sounds great.
What I want to say: there are cheap gutars that just sound like shit, no matter who plays them. But Squier is a pretty bad example for rubbish guitars ;-)
You're not breaking any new ground with your statement.
The difference is, what they sound like 50yrs later. THAT is the true difference with expensive instruments. They get better with age.. Cheap ones break.. So..
JP's solo in Blue Sky when he was wearing overalls -- one of my favorite guitar pieces of all time...
One of the GOATS.
Who is this guy ? I have heard it said its not the guitar but the player, but Jack took any guitar you handed him and produced more notes and sounds so fluidly better than any big name player I have ever heard. Congrads Marty for introducing Jack. One of the best.
...he probably sell a guitar to Robert Johnson...
A master
Watch videos of him and Tommy Emmanuel playing together . Especially on acoustic.
Man, after listening to Jack talk I'm even more of a fan. What a great, humble but completely soulful guy. I love this guy. As a person and a musician. Jack is the real deal. Soft spoken down to earth and one of the best guitarist around for my money. Thanks for this one Marty and Jack.
How cool is Jack Pearson!!! So humble and friendly....would love to hang with that guy!
Can't tell you why I got so much satisfaction watching Jack play Squire guitars - and proud of it. I've not been playing long, but have always believed, talent determines tone.
I just love Jack Pearson! Love his playing, love his kind hearted personality, love his total lack of ego, and love that he can get with cheap guitars and totally appreciate them. We should all look to this guy as a model for guitar playing and for life.
I never heard of Jack Pearson till tonight but this man is my new tone hero! I'm blown away by the sounds he's getting out of cheap Squier strats! The wah effect he was getting using his fingers and nails, too, wow. When he switched over to the SG, it did't sound as good as the strat! Makes you really take a step back. I been playing 16~ years now and you keep wanting to go bigger and badder into the expensive Gibson world. And then you watch this and feel like a scrub. I still have my first guitar which was a Squier Bullet, now I feel like putting it back in playing shape!
Love the Squires. No BS all talent!
Jack is an unreal guitar talent. Proper guitar player's guitar player! Went from playing blues to flawless Wes Montgomery to slide as good as Duane and Derek. Came here after hearing a quip on a Rick Beato video where someone mentioned a guy who played a stock squier through an old tubescreamer and a 'no name' amp. I thought that surely can't be right. Boy am I wrong. Reconsidering my default thinking that a custom shop gibson will by default sound sweeter than an Indonesian Squier! Great video.
Thank you Marty. His love for resonance over brand name is beyond encouraging. I discovered Jack years ago via Gregg Allman's solo album "Searching for Simplicity" like. Jack's slide version of Whippin' Post is unbelievable.
The thing with the old players is that they all know how to handle the tone and volume knobs to get their tone so well. For me, learning that has and still is an incredibly rewarding experience and never keeps surprising me what you can get out of a guitar that way. For instance, I made my Casino sound almost like a Rickenbacker by playing around with the pots. An essential skill, imho.
Wow, the only thing wrong with this is that it's too short...I could listen to these guys for at least another hour...
Great interview Marty. Jack is such a great guy. A real down to earth humble genius of a player.
Marty asked really great questions about jacks technical preferences and how he thinks of composition. Very insightful
Jack Pearson auto-wah! Wow!!!
Marty this is excellent ! Thanks so much for posting this. Like you, I saw Jack with the Allman Bros around '96-'97 and was blown away, but until the internet I could not find out who that uniquely dazzling guitarist was. When I finally did, I bought all his recordings and have enjoyed his inspiring music ever since. One of the best most creative guitarists of our time.
One of America's great unknown treasures...Ck him out on one of Gregg Allman's solo albums Searching for Simplicity and there are videos of him playing live with the Allman Brothers showing off his great improv skills... The great ones are humble...
His playing is virtuoso level without a doubt! He’s so good that he can play anything and make it sound surreal and very few are the musicians who can really do that.
It's awesome to see a legend bestow value to guitars everyday people can get their hands on.
After 20 years of playing and listening, Jack is my favorite guitar player.
just an extremely talented, knowledgeable, and humble man to hear speak and play guitar. what a pleasure!
Probably THE best interview I have ever seen or heard!!! Fantastic!!
Very cool. Thank you. We definitely need to hear more about guys like Jack Pearson.
We used to listen to Jack & his wife jam w/ their band the Nationals at a bar in college in Murfreesboro. We were so spoiled back then listening to such great music and cheap beer. Glad Marty highlighted Jack. Such an amazing talent.
I love that Jack pulls out the lower end guitars and just crushes tone! A master he is, no ego, no pretence, and his skillful playing is so very inspiring. Thank you, Marty!
He is a wonderful human being. I only now heard of him and am amazed at how humble he is, how incredible his guitar playing is. He makes me want to be a better guitar player and has inspired me to be a better man.
Thank you for shedding some light on Jack Pearson. I've never seen anyone with that much talent and so little ego. I wish that Jack's old Yamaha (I think) solid state amp had been discussed. Wiring the bridge pup on Strats for tone control is an idea that should've been acted upon decades ago.
Thanks Marty, Jack Pearson is one of my favorites. Just an amazing unknown guitarist. Deserves more credit.
I friggin' love Jack. What a player... What a person... Thanks for exposing him to an additional audience. Great editing, by the way. Your efforts don't go unnoticed.
This guy is so cool and so mellow, playing the cheapest guitars, with so much passion, making the best sounds and tones out of them. Such an amazing lesson and big inspiration, rock on !
This is just insane and just what I needed, what a player, using cheap guitars, blows my mind, I love it
The guitar players that amaze me the most are those that play effortlessly. Jack switches styles and plays like he’s been practicing his entire life (which he has). A joy to watch, love his laugh, thanks Marty another great installment.
Jack is so damn good. I saw him playing guitar for Jimmy Hall in a little bar in Gadsden, AL. He was playing G&L guitars back then only a few yrs after his ABB days.
Even Jack’s noodling sounds like a No. 1 hit.
So cool to see someone who has been at it for so long but still has the passion.
So cool. Jack is a class act! I think he's probably one of the most respected guys in Nashville for his sincerity and love of what he does. Having grown up in Nashville and hanging at music stores, reminds me of a prior generation of guys who'd be hanging out and jamming. Met him one time, so down to earth. Love that he plays squire strats though he could play custom shop Fenders. Makes me wanna drop $100 or so to try out a used one!
This was an awesome interview Marty! I got to thank Premier Guitar Magazine for introducing me to Jack Pearson and to Marty for bringing him to life. I have another favorite guitarist!
Former guitar snob here. I own a US sunburst Strat. Years ago I picked up a cool looking translucent Strat in a guitar shop. Absolutely loved it! Played it for 10 minutes before seeing "Squier" on the headstock. WTF?
Well I've owned that guitar now for 15 years and it's always the first one I grab. I'll never part with it - ever. It always sounds great and is the most forgiving guitar I've ever owned. Tone, intonation, feel. It's always there.
I’m a cheap guy and I figure if I’m gonna be good I should be able to make any guitar sound good.. if I quit it’s just a squier 😅 a year later and I can’t stop playing it.
@@willm3027 Just so happens I worked on a $40 Squier SE that I picked up at a pawn shop. The guitar is solid. It has a little fret sprout but an otherwise very good neck.
Jack Pearson is simply Awesome and such a down to earth, humble human being ! Thank you for sharing you experience and knowledge with all of us !
What a lovely fella...and a brilliant guitar player.
Jack Pearson, the only player who can make a strat middle position sound iconic. His style is actually so funky. Glad you started discussing that at around 6 minutes.
I agrre, that was one of the BEST incarnations of the ABB with Dickie and Jack. OMG..the slide on Dreams was awesome.
I don't even know what to say. What a beautiful dude, what beautiful playing. It's more than the fact that Jack's playing Squiers and Epiphones. His playing utterly transcends the cost of the gear he has. It's just plain wonderful. So expressive and emotional that the guitars vanish.
I could listen to you guys all day. Jerry Reed was once asked if he could read music. He said, “Not enough to hurt my pickin.”
One of my favorite living players. Awesome to see him get the exposure your channel can give him. Well done, Marty!
I love the none guitar snobbery! He makes a cheap guitar sound like a top of the range custom shop $5000 + guitar.
It seems like all the studio players and backing band guys all own a bunch of cheap guitars and then they have 1 higher costing "Nice" guitar. Fascinating. If you know how to play you can make any guitar sound good.
It's in the hands. So true.
He makes that cheap Squier cry and sing like nothing I’ve heard before. Just amazing. A lesson we all should take away from this.
Lol, that guitar doesn’t sound good!!!
Mc Ren you’re full of crap.
Wow I am so excited to have found this video. This man is a professional. He could probably play whatever guitar he wanted to play. And he loves his Indonesian Squier Bullet. The Squier Bullet hard tail that I play is one of my favorite guitars ever. It’s lightweight, the neck feels so nice and it sounds just like a Stratocaster is supposed to sound.
I love Bullet Strats also. The necks are just incredible. I have four of them, but the 2005 hard tail is my favorite. It was a top loader and buzzed a lot and sounded dead when I got it. I drilled it out to make it a string through body with Tele ferrules on the back.
That just made it come alive! It has that vibration Jack was talking about. And I have been partial to Squiers made in Indonesia since I started collecting these affordable guitars. There is just something about them that’s better or different than the Chinese, Korean, etc.
Of course you have to address some of the typical issues like fret sprout, fret level, crown and polish.
And I am partial to Fender locking tuners. Which I used on all my Squiers. The hard tail is light, thin as an SG. I want another one.
One of your best videos yet. Mr. Pearson proved a hypothesis of mine (well, not just mine) that it's 99 percent the player and 1 percent guitar. He made those Epis and Squiers sound like custom shop guitars with angel hair for strings.
I've been debating buying a mim strat over a squier classic vibe, just because it's an actual fender. Not now. Gonna get the squire (of which I like the aesthetics more), save the $, and just practice more. This video was a big help in straightening out my thinking.
Jack's one of the coolest guys in the guitar world - really hate that I missed him at the guitar museum in Chattanooga! Hope he comes back.
I had never heard Jack play until around 98 or 99. Went to see the Brothers at the annual March Beacon run in NYC when Jackie was playing with them. Jack blew the roof off of the place while playing Stormy Monday, to this day I’ve never heard it played better live....that includes seeing Clapton do it. Jackie is an awesome player who really deserves more mainstream recognition.
Loved this video, very cool. I was fortunate enough to see him live with the Allmans once. The greatest players are always the most humble. Thanks for the great interview.
I think Leo would be proud...from all that i know, his design was a lot about the Efficiency...and with a player like this, his idea shines so bright
Outside of Duane and Dickey, Jack Pearson is probably the best guy to ever play
in the ABB. Better than Derek and Warren, except Warren has the great voice, too.
Jack is a master guitarist and humble person. I'm not saying those guys aren't
great players. They are. But Jack Pearson has a whole other level of expertise,
plus just as much soul. Killer guitar player.
Derek is still young. He will eventually surpass all of them
Derek Trucks is the most creative slide player on Earth. The Spirit of Duane Allman sits on Derek’s shoulder without
question. He seems to have taken Duane’s approach and touch to other worldly places. I’d suggest T&T Band’s live
version of Darling Come Home Soon for a total immersion in his genius. The solo starts at just after 5:00 and it is a
journey, not just a solo. Having said all that, I don’t think he’s as well rounded and versatile as Jack Pearson, though he
certainly could be. Jack is a natural who just breathes every type of guitar air there is and can play all of it. Just my
opinion and you know what they say about opinions ...! They’re all great and I have listened to and seen all of them per-
form. I love Jack because he’s so under the radar and so much better than just about any guitar player you can name.
He didn’t choose being a guitar player. It chose him, as “it” did Warren, Derek, Duane and Dickey and any other virtuoso.
Music oozes from their veins.
It sounds as though you haven't heard Jack sing. He has an incredible voice.
look up Jack singing - he might be as good a singer as guitar player, and he's on a different level on the guitar. his hands are special. Anyone can play the notes. few can make the guitar cry.
Derek is the man
The Very Best Interview with J.P.!!
Marty has convo knack - highlighting emotive personal music connections and moments! Just great down earth talents talking together. Magic! Thanks buddy!
Thanks for this Marty, Jack is immense! He seems to be able to play almost any style, his fingers just fly across the board.
This is proof that it’s not all about gear, it’s all in the fingers.
That was one of the coolest interviews of a relatively unknown GREAT guitar player that I've ever seen...thanks!!
Marty I just finished watching this video and I have to say man the amount of views is criminal! This is fantastic content, and Jack is a phenomenal guitarist that doesn't get the credit he deserves. Thanks for doing this.
Jack Pearson is maybe the nicest person ever. He also isn't all caught up in the $4k guitars and amps like most guitarist I know.
holy shit that Wabash sound with his fingers is so class . Ty Marty these are such class videos
My favorite guitar player of all time!!!!!
Jack Pearson is a great versatile player, and a humble, fun, mellow, guy. Inspiring! And he makes Squiers sound good. My old luthier did some work for Hendrix and Johnny Winter at Electric Ladyland. He said Jimi and Johnny could each make any old piece of junk sound great, so can Jack ;)
Great vid as usual Marty....plus, ANY video with Jack is an A+ in my book. Not only one of the best players on the planet, but one of the best people on the planet. Genuinely great guy.
I so enjoyed watching this. Fantastic video Marty!
Watching this makes me love my classic vibe Tele all the more. What an amazing guitar player and person. Super cool down to earth guy. Wish I was one of his little brothers!
Great stuff Marty...love that he plays bullet squires and makes them weep
I was wondering if I was the only one who thought this was a great episode ....
Joe Rice l have a Squire Affinity with a stock Quarter sawn neck. Best sounding/playing guitar l've ever played.
I had the same experience. I went to see my favorite live band, the Allman Brothers and Jack was the guitarist. I was BLOWN AWAY. I've been a huge fan ever since. Jack is an all time favorite. He does great work on All my friends, the celebration of Gregg Allman. He does it all. Incredible player.
A true Master. Never got to see him with the ABB. I've seen videos and he rips it up.
Awesome a guitar hero and such a down to earth dude man thank you for this one Marty.I love how it is the cheap guitars that truly please him.Lots of young kids could learn a lesson here.It aint always the real expensive guitars that makes you great.Have the willingness to play and learn from others.Loved Marty thanks for this one.
Jack is so sweet and humble. His genuine love of music shows like a beacon.
I smiled the whole way through this interview, thanks to you both!
Man, what a treat! Thanks for this amazing video Marty - Jack seems like such a nice guy. I love that he plays these inexpensive guitars, it just makes him even cooler than he already is.
First thing off "Thank you Marty Schwartz" I probably have heard Mr. Pearson a zillion time due to his relationships with the "Allman Bros. Band" Me an you have many things in common when it comes to Mr. Pearson...and his career...then to see him go through his collection and to Give Me Permission to be proud to "Own not only Fender but SQUIER BY FENDER INTSTRUMENTS"!!! Now I have always said lately...many Squiers (Indonesian are being made as well and sound as good as some American Models) Jack going throught all these guitars...tells us the voice is in the hands and the wood! To See as many "so called Cheap Guitars" being played and used and then used on the Allman Bros Tribute Album...rock on Squier now I watch his performace's closely and I am amazed he his using them in many performances....Thank you Jack for allowing me to own and be proud that I got rid of some of my American Boat Anchors for light weight resonated Indonesian, Korean and Chinese made instruments...$87.00 bucks...to 125 bucks with Million dollar sound by Jack Pearson!
Man, the no-wah pedal trick just killed me! Jack is just phenomenal! Every note falls into place like magic, the groove the tone the melodies... thanks marty. And your not bad either.
marty you should hang out more with this guy, you look really happy around him
It's very easy to get into music and to play an instrument like guitar and to get lost in all the marketing, forgetting that the noise we make is what we play instruments for, not the brand on the headstock. I appreciate this guy's skill being displayed through what most people consider a beginner's instrument.
I could listen to (and learn from) you two forever, thank you Marty and Jack, both of you are awesome!
Marty and Jack. Fantastic. Love the insight into a guitarists life. Especially the way you make supposedly inferior models of guitars sound superb. No ego, just craftsmanship. To Jack your influences are numerous and inspiring. It reminds me of my lifelong hero Rory Gallagher who lived for his craft, was essentially self taught, but sucked up all influences to make himself a better guitar player and purveyor of the music that interested and influenced him. Loved Jacks take on slide playing, you play beautifully, but importantly you seem to enjoy everything about it. Marty keep up these tours they are brilliant. This was the best one so far. Could be because you were both so relaxed and in tune with each other. Brilliant.!!!!!! Thanks.
He has ears for tone and delivery. Beautiful. Thank you for the interview 🙏
Just came across my new guitar hero Mr Jack Pearson, what a great guy, brilliant player 👍🏻 Thanks Marty 👍🏻
Marty, you and I are about the same age. I used to see the allman brothers all the time and I remember that feeling after hearing that warren left and going to see my first show without warren and seeing jack for the first time, no internet, no way to look him up, and just thinking oh my god, I can't believe they could even find a guy like this! I didn't know they existed. Amazing player and super humble, nice guy.
I watched the video where he is playing slide on duane almans sg a couple weeks ago and was amazed by this guys skills and the fact that he's playing a squire makes me understand the meaning of humble and it's going to stick in my mind and I'm going to act more thoughtful. He could've gotten any even more affordable guitar and gave it to the little girl but, he actually gave it a test and it turned in to a nice addition to the rest of his guitars. He gives it as much respect as one of his thousand or more dolar guitars and that shows alot about him as a person. Bless this dude. His al right with me!
Nashville has to be full of the most down to earth , super cool, laid-back gentlemen guitar players....love this series .
This was such a joy to watch. Thank you for making such quality content, Marty!
It’s opening up a whole new door of introduction to some of the greats I didn’t know of.
I’ve had some cool guitars, Gibson custom shop, vintage teles, vintage Gibsons etc and the best guitar is the one that puts a smile on your face and makes you play what you’re hearing in your head. My favorite guitars have been less expensive ones, meanwhile this guys blowing our minds on his squier. That’s so cool.
Jack is the master on guitar. The most underrated guitarist out there who doesn’t receive the recognition he deserves
Just started playing a few months ago as a long-time musician, and this guy is it. His expertise in so many different areas and natural ability to freely express on a lazy afternoon is jaw-dropping. He's it. Haven't heard a guitar player that can play jazz like him and only be stuck to that one style that's still alive. He's my hero
First saw Jack with the ABB, been a huge fan ever since. Nice to see him getting some well-earned attention!
You're killing it Marty. Your Ed King episode is legend. This is right up there. What a cool man.
Squier should give him every model. I’ve seen Jack on a Blues Cruise - playing his Squier strat, and I was just blown away! It made me love my Classic Vibe Tele, and Classic Vibe Jazz Bass even more!
This literally blew my mind so smooth so clean an unbelievable tone..........
Wow , I've never heard a guitar player that can nail so many different styles of playing so effortlessly. Thankyou for a great session & the inspiration to keep improving & never to plato out.
Wow, what a cool laid back guy. An amazing player, the sounds he can get... just amazing!
Thanks for posting this Marty! Jack , like you is such a cool guy and great player, lots of fun hearing his stories with his guitars !
