Jack Pearson is a treasure. A guitar player’s player.

[jppagetoo]

Jack has it all. Tone, touch, time, taste. Those who know about him have nothing but massive respect for him.

[Lantertronics]

Rhett, it's great to see you using your platform this way, bringing attention to artists who deserve more attention.

I was in tootsies one day, and he was standing right next to me.
I asked him if he was Jack Pearson and I introduced myself, and he asked me how I knew him. I have been studying his music for like the last six months leading up to my trip to Nashville.
He stayed there all night, watching a pedal steel player he really loved and with about a half hour before close he got up on stage and played some of the most bad ass guitar with this pedal steel player I’ve ever heard
There was maybe 10 people in the bar, including the staff and myself and my friend.
One of the best nights of my life

[donnawsimpson]

Jack is a family friend and he used to come by and play for my parents. They've been gone several years but I still remember how much Mama and Daddy enjoyed listening to him, playing any kind of music right there in their living room. Thanks, Jack!

[abradfordajb]

" .... the type of guitar player i want to be one day when i grow up ... " 😄🤗 THAT'S precious.

[hgostos]

Jack Pearson is not only a monster guitar player but I terrific, humble person. I can testify of this personally. Total respect.

[lamsonian]

... one doesn't just "happen to be playing" on those cruises.

Excellent player. Thanks for introducing him to your audience. That's the kind of respect you deserve, too.

[RJRonquillo]

I remember seeing Jack sit in with Tedeschi Trucks at the Ryman when I first moved to Nashville. Lots of good guitar playing that night.

[davematteo]

I've been a fan for years. Nobody else makes an $89 guitar sound that good! Criminally underrated.

[georgeferro]

I was in the Country Music HofF about 10 years ago and Jack was set up in a little area with about ten empty chairs. He was playing acoustic to no one. We sat down and had a private concert/discussion with him. He was the most humble sweet person you could imagine and treated us like WE were special!!!! What a thrill

[johndogwater]

He's just amazing. He's always able to surprise with something tastefully out-there, that only comes from being a deep well of creativity.

[juliancarmichael]

He sings BEAUTIFULLY too! I was lucky enough to get a few tips from him when i was 18. He is so generous with his time and knowledge with young guitarists. A treasure!

[MIKE-D]

Jack is one of the nicest and humble guys I have ever met. Excellent guitarist, singer and songwriter.

[thwardadrian]

I first heard Jack when he toured with The Allman Brothers Band in the late 90’s. I was impressed by him then, and became the fan I’ve been ever since. He was crushing it in his late thirties then, and he’s even better now in his 60’s.

[thejamnasium]

I actually wrote Jack a snail mail letter just a few weeks ago to just tell him that discovering his playing a couple of years ago was a REVELATION. Never before did I think a player could be so incredible at so many styles. I don't know any other players off the top of my head who could do be the Duane guy in ABB, hop off stage and do gypsy jazz comping chords behind Tommy Emmanuel, passing off solos. But Jack can and does.

[lucasrhodes]

I live in Nashville and seeing him play a few years ago is one of my favorite shows I’ve ever seen. I met him after the show because it was a small bar (the 5 spot) and he was the kindest, coolest dude. Absolutely an underrated guitarist. My brain melted that night.

[erivers]

Jack Pearson = GOAT What an absolute American treasure! Thanks for this video: great perspective too; much appreciation to this video.

[JoeyFletcherBand]

I’ve been lucky enough to had grown up down the street from Jack and see him play in a lot of different outfits through the years. I used to sneak into the Boro Bar and Grill to see him play with the Nationals and get kicked out instantly for being underage. Eventually in high school he’d let me carry his amp into 3rd and Lindsley to get into the shows. I wouldn’t had even tried to play guitar if it wasn’t for Jack. He’s always been supportive and inspiring to be around. He’s truly a kind soul and one of the best musicians on the planet. It’s great seeing Jack get some love. Thanks for making this video!

[Augminished]

Jack has been a guitar players guitar player for decades. He's the man no questions asked!
