Allman Brothers guitarist on better guitar tone “I could hear every note in the chord”
Jack has played guitar for Jimmy Buffet, Delbert McClinton, Jimmy Hall, the Allman Brothers and many others. In addition to his guitar licks, Jack contributed several co-written songs to Jimmy’s 1996 recording “Rendezvous With The Blues”, a must have for your collection.
In 1993 Jack received a phone call from friend Warren Haynes, a member of The Allman Brothers Band (ABB), who asked Jack to sub for Dickey Betts during a tour. ABB was Jack’s favorite band when he was young and now it would pay off that he had learned both Duane’s and Dickey’s parts from all of their recordings because there was no time to rehearse. Jack flew to Dallas, Texas where he and Warren met in a hotel room to work out the harmonies and the next night he hit the stage with The Allman Brothers Band before a crowd of 20,000.

Jack’s laugh is his best instrument.
Legend
Humility always shines out of a truly great man
Jack has only gotten even better.

Jack should be top billing at Claptons crossroads festival … why no invite?
So profoundly stated… and true!
The gift of an artist or athlete comes from the heart. I am hearing impaired since birth with a lot of sound challenges. The youngest of six I was given total freedom to enjoy whatever came across my ears, so just like Jack Pearson said it’s the sound that we enjoy hearing which is where the heart is.
I saw Jack with The Allman Brothers. That was my first time ever hearing his name. He blew me away with his playing and the tone he got. He mentioned something here that hit home with me. He learned to play how we all did back in the day. Put the record on and try and learn from it. I am 64 and started playing when I was 10. I couldn't count how many guitars I have owned. I am one that doesn't really pay attention to the name on it. If it feels good and plays good, then I want it. I can always upgrade it at some point. To me, music is in your soul. That's where the start of your tone comes from. And Mr. Pearson definitely has it in his soul.
Great guitarist treat every note like it were their child, not just a passer by.
"Jack Pearson"
His brother gave the entire world a gift. What a great fantastic always on player.
Id quit but ive invested too much.. there aint wrong notes on his guitars but mine there are….
😛
Jack is one very nice man and one hell of a guitar player love you my brother peace love feathers and music forever
I saw him a few years back with govt mule..dude is beyond great
I love to hear him play and I love to hear him talk.. Just not at the same time..
Dickey Betts told Gregg Allman if we don't hire Jack I'm going to take lessons from him.
Sounds so much better than that squier
That sounds Supercool
Jacks work on Searching for Simplicity was insanely great. The music world is a better place with Jack alive and well.
Very cool…sounds good
this is the most young old guy I saw…….top player too
Arguably (or NOT) and subjectively …. the best guitar player on the planet . One thing I know for sure. If I had discovered Jack 20 years ago instead of 2 years ago, I would be a better player today,
Duane may have been a bit more of an innovator, but Jack Pearson was the best guitarist the ABB ever had. Period.
Jack is such a gentle soul and so unassuming he gives of himself from the heart and i am so blessed to be able to call him my friend. His playing touches me in a way that is just plainly from Heaven…. an amazing player for sure but such a awesome human being…
This guy should get more accolades as a great player. He can play anything. He's amazing.
Derek is the greatest guitarist in allman history. Warren is very close. Everyone else ain’t even close including Duane fact
I went on a buying spree for high end cables about a year ago, and the once I had gotten everything I wanted to try, I decided to get an Asterope just so I didn't leave any stone unturned. A very good friend of mine and I put all the cables through the paces, and he, like me thought all the Asterope stuff was hype. How could a guitar cable be directional? How could it sound much clearer than the rest? Well, we didn't set out to prove their point, but we were made believers. Certainly clearer sounding cables with very transparent highs.
Jack Pearson is a fantastic player and a wonderful person. He plays with passion, authority, and skill. His playing moves you.
Beast-Monster!
Getch yer torch an pitchforks!
Got to speak with him once at a show. What a class act. Great guy!
J P. is that anomaly, a musician with wicked guitar chops…
Massively underrated artist dude is and national treasures far as I'm concerned..
Les Bros
J.p. is amazing
Can you even imagine learning from a vinyl record ? Put the needle down play lift repeat never mind searching for a passage. Til you just play. This guy takes the most modest Fender squire and makes it sound like the most expensive Fender ever made.
Im Jack Peirson and im a guitar player.NO, your Jack Peirson and your a humble Bad ASS guitar player
that's what rock / blues guitar should sound like. What a beautiful tone. Great player.
go listen to this guy play slide guitar with ABB and Taj Mahal on Statesboro blues live. Beyond incredible
Jack is the greatest, man.
I hear Jack left tha ABB cause Dickey wouldn’t turn down and Jack was starting to have hearing issues
Fantastic Jack… soothing guitar playing
I think he replaced Warren for a bit '96 ish. Was killah whoever it was so was Dickey.
this guy gets amazing tone out of a cheapo squire strat….great player
Jack is a good guy
