Dickey to Gregg after spending time with JP and the band considering hiring him."Either we're gonna hire him or I'm gonna ask him for lessons".True story.

[@hanspeterpawlowsky7875]

Jack Pearson is one of the most underrated guitar players. He's got it all: Chops, imagination to no end, listens to the sidemen... plus he's got a voice he knows to adapt to any song he plays. Playing a cheapo Squire and sounding like this shows once again it's the player and not the guitar.

[@vapor9699]

Rick Beato, do yourself a favor and interview JP. He is one of the most undisputed, unaffected and underrated musicians of our times.

[@mudnducs]

I just found Jack Pearson this year…I’m an idiot. What an incredible talent!

[@scottmckeen3908]

Me too! How did he get by me for so long?

[@yvonnelaurenty6427]

Someone said this needs two guitars. Really? Jack all by himself . . . speechless. And absolutely knocked out by the drummer!

[@joeanderson3423]

JP makes it seem so effortless

[@Knight14649]

Without Betts, none of these great songs would even be here to play. Kudos and applause to to Mr. Richard Betts for his contributions to Rock music. And especially thanks for In Memory Of Elizabeth Reed...

[@EatAPeach72]

YOU SAID IT MAN ! 👍

[@FerFricki]

Dude... Blue Sky, In memory of Elizabeth Reed...thanks JP and RIP MR. Betts and Allman Bros

[@stephendawg1]

Such a great musician! I could listen to him forever!

[@wmden1]

Jack Pearson's guitar playing is much like the river in the song. It just keeps on flowing. It don't worry about where it's going. It already knows where it's going; to the right place to sound great. His playing is very smooth, and he makes it appear so easy, and natural.

[@raymondfryar1533]

Wow, quite poetic and true.

[@chumleyshaver7942]

the beautiful warm singing sustaining tone he gets out of that single coil Squire, amazing. Love how he ends it with a little nod tag to Little Martha, brilliant.

[@MrGreglarry]

This is music at its best. This should be on mainstream radio every day! Not electronic crotch pop!

[@newenglandguitarman3345]

BIG sound for a trio! Beautiful all around 😊

[@arthurprelle3295]

What a monster trio! Subtle and superb all around.

[@jokermaan1]

Great feel and tone. And on a Squier Bullet!

[@ronhoffman7941]

Jack always badass saw him playing with Lee Roy Parnell some wonderful slide there !!!

[@betterdogbehaviornow581]

Jack is a bad man! Masterful as always!

[@myownchannel247]

nice job, already knew of his guitar skills but only second time I've heard him sing great voice.

[@samroberts7660]

Fantastic cover of one of the most beautiful songs ever. I saw video of you and Dicky playing Liz Reed. Just mesmerizing.

[@mikereynolds3294]

Jackie is the best there is .......would love to meet that guy one day.

[@SteveCutlerLive]

this trio is fire!!!!!

[@mattbluesmain1359]

beyond amazing masterful does not get to his level thank you for this

[@crisprtalk6963]

absolutely killing it!!

[@KeepinBuzzy]

Jack's singing ... has gone from lovely to irresistible ....

[@EliCosper85]

Yea it really has evolved perfectly

[@johnparsons661]

Charlie Christian was compared to bird in flight. Jack can make me feel the same way. Kudos to the drummer too for keeping responding to everything thrown at him there.

[@chrisg5271]

Just awesome !

[@AnthonyBurrito1313]

I love Jack!!

[@stephenmonike1906]

Jack Pearson, he's not in it for all the attention he just loves the instrument and the art of it, unfortunately that can't be said about a lot of people.

[@jeff0566jsm]

Anyone notice that he’s playin this tune on a $135 Fender Squire?

[@ChipMautz]

He buys them used, so maybe more like $80 :-)

[@Stereostupid]

This is unbelievable

[@irishguy13]

Nothing pretentious there.

[@StephenbRock23]

Plugged into a Jack Pearson signature amp

[@anthonycrystal33]

Jack says he gets em for 70 bucks and some for 100! When you need a refret, you buy another one!

[@deHelli]

Great Tone! Squier Strat

[@buddyollie7400]

Beautiful rendition...

[@TheAndyb1968]

Glad I clicked on this. It is spectacular. I have to admit though that I was hoping for High Falls when I read "obscure" in the title. Jack used to fly on that song during his brief time in the ABB. I would love to hear him play it again.

[@JimDorman]

Sarcasm

[@TheAndyb1968]

I realized that. I enjoyed this tremendously but I was hopeful for High Falls, none the less.

[@maccxoph]

Killing

[@johnbackman4475]

He seems so inflappable in every video. And I watched many of him in the last few says. “Hey guys, building’s on fire but we’re gonna play one more.”

[@anthonycrystal33]

Imma start calling him Jack Squire!

[@JB-sh2mm]

God damn does JP really play this song beautifully.

[@CollinHill]

love it! :)

[@NG-Lespaul]

in the original key! Which is nice!! tasty

[@davidkrause6990]

Roll away the dew.

[@claudehopper9813]

thought you could pay electric guitar ? If you listen to just 2 guitarist today it should Redd Volkaert on a telecaster and Jack Pearson on a stratocaster . Both very humble and masters at their craft .

[@joeurbanowski321]

❤

[@ronhoffman7941]

Drummers pretty badass

[@jimmyhenley8100]

All of you ripping the word "obscure" need to get the irony in the writing.It was giving praise to the song being well known.Geez people,did any of you go to school?!!!

[@thejamnasium6447]

good lord

[@monicaanderson6747]

Good job..!!!

[@blu68caddy]

Very sweet just imagine how much sweeter would be on a Les Paul💥

[@popitz]

Irony.

[@frankthurman5442]

Jack is an old friend, but Blue Sky is an obscure song? I think not, do not know why that was directed at Dickey?

[@jeffw468]

Great song and very nice cover, but hardly obscure.

[@KeepinBuzzy]

I think it was a little joke ....

[@buddyollie7400]

Frank Thurman It's just a prank, bruh!

[@michaelcraig9449]

Just some crazy humor to see what we would all say, just a good laugh, just creative musician crazy humor.

[@jaxflfreebird]

Wow, OBSCURE is right. I've heard Blue Sky about one thousand times now. I mean, the Allman Brothers Band Dickey in solo bands probably only also played this a couple thousand times. Yes, this song is RARE, just NEVER PLAYED. Thanks for this rare oddity.

[@mitchgawlik1175]

Obscure? Where the hell have you been?

[@popitz]

I've been to school and college, where I learned to read. See my reply from 10 months ago.

[@mitchgawlik1175]

School and college. Dedicated to education. I get it now, you were being amusing. You got me good. While I'm here, I wasn't particularly impressed with Jack's self indulgent riffing. A good editing might wonders for this.

[@mrartistbill]

Blue Sky is not obscure unless you are unfamiliar with the Allman Bros band.

[@popitz]

But, apparently, ironic comments are obscure.

[@georgeanderson3779]

@@popitz Apparently understanding irony is very obscure. SMH

[@fleadoggreen9062]

So no bass player?? Just curious

[@Seventysongs]

obscure? lol

[@TJPatriot74]

Obscure?

[@patrickjordan6710]

Really? An "obscure" Dickey Betts song....WTF?

[@jamesianp]

It's called 'Sense of Humor', ...Google it.

[@georgeanderson3779]

Irony - duh

[@soofitnsexy]

Jack can I buy u a wider guitar strap...? youre is just not wide enuff!!
