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.

  • 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.

  • 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,

  • 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.

  • 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.
