Coming up musically during those years, I constantly was reading CD liner notes and seeing Paul's name and knowing what I was in store for! What a time, when you could discover a huge list of great musicians as the heyday of studio musicians doing solos and work on all the famous artists releases!
This was awesome and my boy said shucking yikes
What guitar is it? I want it.!!
Paul Jackson Jr. is the absolute legend in the world of music
Paul has always been one of my favorite guitarist, mega talented!
wow
Paul's ability to play in the pocket is amazing!
Just thank you. This interview felt like a deep clean and polish for the brain/soul. Came away smiling and cheerful
PYT is my favorite song of all times, lol… prace… clicked the link. #afterIrewind
He played Michaels words… it was him
He's rather modest…
Holy Ship how old is this guy because he doesn't look a day over 40
How to not wear out frets or strings!
Wow so amazing classic licks from Thriller, Michael Jackson.
I just watched Lukather say that HE played the main riff on Beat It. Michael SANG the melody he wanted played. So, did Paul later play an overdub over Lukather’s take then? Just curious.
simplemente crack! ????????????????????????????
Incredible! So much love in every note!
Let's hear it for the boys and the rhythm of the night sound so similar and now I know why.
His use of octaves is awesome and I am hearing Wes Montgomery up in the mix , awesome feels that are now icon
PRSで一番良い音出してるギタリストってポールジャクソンjrさんじゃないかな？
He's go that Wes Montgomery, George Benson jazz octave style thing going on…beautiful phrasing thank you
