Went to an Allman Bros show several years back. Dickey Betts was shining in great form. I had no idea that Warren Haynes vacancy was being filled by Jack. I didn't have any idea who Jack Pearson was. Jack began his first guitar break..... About 3 measures in I looked at my friend who I'd came to the show with and said.. Who the hell is that guy?? He replied That's Jack Pearson.... Fave ever since! The real deal in my ears!
Similar story to me going to see the reunited Allman Brothers in 1989. “Whoa! Who’s the new guy playing the ‘Duane’ stuff? He’s great!” “That’s Warren Haynes from Dickey’s band…”. Fast forward 10 or so years and Jack is filling that ‘other ABB guitar spot’ and we liked him even more. Jack’s just sensational. And a humble, laid back gentleman.
He certainly makes this reissue sound great, but any guitar in this man's hands sounds like the greatest guitar in the world. I've been a player for over 45 years and when I watch Jack Pearson I feel like a newborn child. He seems to be a very humble man and genuinely kind too.
This may be the best guitar playing any of us ever get to see… sold soul level playing. Complete grace and effortless dominance over his instrument. Especially starting at 4:47 just about raised old Robert Johnson from his grave out of jealousy… this is it. …oops I forgot about Ted Greene for a second. Ted too
Ive been lucky enough to see Jack a few times in Nashville & ive never heard or seen another player better than this man..And after hearing him with the Allman Brothers Band i believe its the direction Duane would have taken the band had he lived..Jack lit a fire under Dickie Betts ass & Dickie had to " be on guard " so to speak..Some of the best Allman Brothers shows ever with Jack playing..To bad nobody got along with Dickie for very long, even tho im a huge Dickie Betts fan as well...Peace out🍄
I spent 3 days considering packing in guitar after coming across this. I would pay anyone £££ to teach me how to do what he does. Absolutely incredible!
If I found a genie in a bottle and was only granted one wish, it would to be able to play and understand everything he played that day. Blows me away every time.
I sent my les paul to Gibson cause it never played right 6 years later. I’m so nervous cause I still love the guitar. I hope it gets there ok. Monday can’t come soon enough.
No more ego driven FN expensive guitars for this old boy give me Indonesian made Squires Thanks Jack you make me wanna practice and I am savin a sh#t load of cash too. This guy makes Squires sound like that new Les Paul and being inspired for the first time in a long time so can I. Out of my way!!!!!
@@MasterBhuna Oh, for sure. Why would they do that in the first place? It’s not like this video presents their company in a bad way or smth. I’m dreaming of LP Trad Honeyburst and after seeing Jack absolutely killing it I want it even more. Aren’t these kind of customers are the ones they wanna get?
@@AndrewKozley - I can't imagine why Gibson would have taken most of the videos down. It came in 5 parts, but they took down 4 of them. Good luck in your Gibson Saving, hope you upload some footage of it here on UA-cam. All the best.
@@MasterBhuna : The misleading thing with jack is that he’s such a virtuoso that he can bring out amazing sounds out of a plastic bucket with strings..... His favorite strats he said are the ones made in indonesia.... Go figure....😳😳😳😳
@@jonnybeck6723 : 😂😂😂 Good one johnny! No i'm always fascinated by great playing when i hear it wich isn't often at virtuoso level. My user name indeed reflects my love for gibson guitars but i love fenders just as much.
@@marlon1171 yeah, Squier Bullet, I have one myself (Sunburst) and it's the Strat i kept, so resonant :P watch Dave Simpson here on UA-cam, he likes them too
Another thing, try to play slide on a guitar that's off the rack, not set up for slide. I don't know about anyone else but I would sound like a tin can falling down a flight of stairs.

I will never be able to understand what he is playing, it is incredible!

One of the best guitar players on earth

Gorgeous tones from a master
Phenomenal playing!

Would be incredible to have his insight into music.
Wow! Amazing Artist.

Amazing!!
The action on this guitar looks low for slide. My guy amazes me every time
Close your eyes and it's Duane, magic !
What a great fellow.
Incredible
Thanx so very much for posting this chunk of pure unadulterated inspiration
...and once again I'm blown away by master Jack (!)

Legend guitarmania
awesome !!!
3:40
That lick…man…

Love Gibsons. The binding on the neck gives it a lovely feel. Would love to see some vids of you playing it, :)

Thank you for uploading the full performance! Never thought of even finding it
I hope Gibson will re-upload the entire thing in HD one day, :). It was just sheer luck that i had a copy before Gibson took it down.

seems to know what to do
easy to sell your guitar after realizing how you got way behind sleepng while jack was up pracitcing LOL most amazing discovery for me
After watching this video, i spent a few days considering if i wanted to waste any more time playing. I would sell my soul to play like him.
That could only be a 1959 reissue!!
Im pretty sure he just picked up a Standard for that. Been a while since i saw the whole video as they took it down,

I was here a second ago and there were 2 replies...
I was gonna ask if Gibson ever approached you to purchase your channel (?)

Wow again and yummy as well!!

Jesus..what a player . Not a talent booster (pedal) in sight
If a genie was to grant me one wish, it would be to play like Pearson in this video. Simply incredible.
@@MasterBhuna ain't that the truth 🎸
