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

[@billdarnell5650]

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.

[@coreymineard]

Jack Pearson, such a beautiful soul. Love his playing so much!

[@76Soco]

I love these guys from the south that plays jazz on les pauls and are able to play some really authentic blues as well!

[@quickstep2408]

whhhhaaat?! good lawwd! how is this guy not more well known?!?! SMDH! new favourite guitarist. and so versatile! BOSS

[@johnq.public1689]

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.

[@davidbruce1205]

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.

[@kewlfonz]

Les Paul himself was a jazz guitarist...

[@maraviyoso8473]

Anything with P90s, Les Pauls, SGs, etc., are what we need.

[@tomasvanecek8626]

@@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

[@garymcaleer6112]

Exquisite sound I could hear all day, and my ears will never grow fatigued.

[@InTonalHarmony]

He's sooo good yet makes it look sooo effortless.

[@al21122]

Holy shit, what a great musician!

[@Wileylikethehawk]

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.

[@joehenry9787]

8 people' disliked' this - can you believe that? Anyway - what an exquisite musician - thanks for this Jack

A great and under appreciated guitar player! 👍👍

A sensational player.

[@desmo999]

Whoouuuwww! He is really one of the best!!!!

[@zorky101]

some nice soft relaxing music. i love this kind of music. i wanna learn how to play it >.

[@jackmundo4043]

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

[@siamakdehnad1996]

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.

[@wallacegrommet9343]

He is sublime

[@irishmuso7129]

To my shame I'd never heard of Jack Pearson - what a musician!

[@ghike30]

same here, but glad i just did.

[@davidlonergan7295]

unbelievable jazz knowledge

[@oversfam]

This guy could sit down with any of us Galax pickers and have a good time!

[@spaceguitars]

Such an incredible player! He sure made my day but I kind of feel as small as a grain of ride.....

[@leefowler3240]

no doubt, a master guitarist

[@guitarbob63]

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.

[@sportsportsport]

this guy is awesome!

[@MannyBlue65]

@pistonear - This is a Les Paul Standard. The origanal Les Paul Standard Pro had P-90 pickups also known as soap bar pickups.

[@rockers2rockers616]

Guthrie Trapp turned me on to Jack Pearson and this is a GREAT guitarist.

[@sportsportsport]

Love his accent!

[@pistonear]

so that guitar is a les paul standard pro? sorry I am new just got turned on to this and is killin my head gotta learn this! its like food!

[@jsilence418]

The chambered LesPaul seems to be his favorite.

[@johnq.public1689]

He prefers lighter guitars.

[@danakerman]

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.

[@danakerman]

I have no idea how he plays so cleanly with such long fingernails on his left hand.

[@SIRONEDRAGON]

very cool

[@frankdiscussion2069]

this guy knows many chords

[@tomasvanecek8626]

He would make the broom sound great

[@JB1977Lo]

with gibson les paul is this? classic, standard or studio??

[@Schlumbucketreturns]

I can play that! Hold my beer!

[@jolyonward705]

what colour is that burst?

[@aragee]

I would sell my soul to be able to play like that. Is there such a deal still...? I'am game

[@johnq.public1689]

You have to head down to the Crossroads.......

[@goldensleeves]

how do you do the lick at 7:19 to 7:22

[@jimmyrecce8787]

Jack can make a Les Paul do what it was intended to do which is sing....🎸🎸🎸

[@richardleonard4281]

Damn!

[@johnq.public1689]

Flat wounds on the LP. Nice touch.

[@FURDOG1961]

dang

[@jason8string]

Very cool. The real lesson comes in around 6mins. Just sit and play your guitar...no multi tracks, backing tracks, drum programs, or superfluous stuff. Nice.

[@aadityakiran_s]

3:50 someone says Giant steps. Hmm hmm....

"To me that's all G-" For me that's WTF?

[@manuelfraiman5534]

not a great video, it doesn't say much... but he plays the Blues well and sounds very tasty in straight ahead jazz

[@pappyodanial]

When I saw how long his FRETBOARD nails were I realized I have no fucking clue how to play the guitar.

[@rickjason215]

This is so depressing. I don’t have a clue what he is doing. It sounds good, though.

[@RedRebel8]

Awful waste of a les Paul playing that shit on it!

[@SSVplus]

That shit? LES PAUL, the Man Himself whose name is on the headstock, was a JAZZ PLAYER. That guitar is His Signature Model. A jazz guy's guitar.

[@melindamanthey2757]

Your name says it all.

[@keefertorontali9042]

Wow man... all I can say

[@wellfedstarvingartist]

Yeah the only way you're a posed to play a Les Paul is play one chord and let it sustain until you can't hear anything except for yourself, that's a great way of playing with other musicians is being the center of attention and playing over anyone. Oh wait...

[@sidneymays]

This guy is the definition of a master guitar player.

[@ericstoecker2096]

I thought the same thing

[@zkray4644]

chet akins

No. This is the guy that trains master guitar players

lol...me too!

[@craigcaver4051]

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.

I only recently came across Jack Pearson and Ive been watching all I can find from him on KZbin. Master guitar player and one of the coolest guys on the scene. Hats off Mr.Pearson. 👍🏻

[@bokehintheussr5033]

Finally someone who knows how to get a Jazz tone out of a Les Paul. It ain't hard folks, cmon...

[@aebious8886]

Lol ikr

[@PlaguePriest88]

its original purpose is to be a jazz guitar, its made for it

[@guitrr]

You should hear him on a hundred dollar Squire, just as impressive. Jack is on another level

[@timknobloch3866]

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.

[@backslash68]

wasn't the Les Paul initially built for Jazz?

[@RM-gm7lu]

i think i just found a new guitar hero!

[@RM-gm7lu]

Totally agree! very knowledgeable and I like his conversational approach to what he knows.

[@adamgiansiracusa5068]

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.

[@ericstoecker2096]

I know thats right

[@stevenculver6416]

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

[@SpawnofHastur]

The stuff this man plays is beautiful. And for someone that can play such beautiful music, he's very unassuming; I love it.

[@parjelly]

this is some damn good stuff, i wanna learn all those jazz chords

[@zthetha]

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.

[@thinktwice8860]

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!

[@dspreis]

Great guy. One of my alltime favorite players...

[@justinstewart8282]

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.

Besides being a jazz master the other thing that blows my mind is how can you play like that with such long finger nails on your left hand. I keep trimmed low

I don't see how Lady Gaga can exist in the same universe while he's present.

Because music isnt about talent anymore. Makes me sad and angry all the same!

Yikes.... I gotta practice more.....and even that might not help.
