It’s a huge compliment when Tim Pierce says you played a perfect solo.

[Texasbluesalley]

Jared has UNBELIEVABLE feel. I'm as guilty as anyone of judging a book by the cover, and when I first saw him play this way it blew my mind. He's good.

[steved]

After 35 years of playing with a pick I am finally branching into fingerstyle for lead work. Players like Jared, mancuso, buck etc are reassuring me that you can get all the speed, attack, and feel you need. Love Jared's shorts on his channel with short licks to try.

[JDCareyMusic]

The thing that really gets me as much as the styles/playability is the dynamics! Holy-moly, from a whisper to a shout at just the right spots.

[Zackryvengelmc]

I’ve been screaming about this dude for years!! I’m so happy he’s getting all the attention and recognition he deserves!

[sundaynightdrunk]

That's a man who understands dynamics on a master level. Just compare the volume of the different parts, and how he decides what stands out loudly and what doesn't. Brilliant playing and shows a ton of experience and mastery of the instrument.

[geoguitar]

I jammed with Jared live onstage in Glasgow, Scotland. Even played Old Glory. It was a fantastic experience.

[stickman]

This totally reframed my thoughts about his playing. It really shows the depth of his skills and knowledge. You’re 100% right about playing with wisdom beyond his years. Very jazzy and melodic.

[bgrierofficial]

I think the way that Jared is using his fingers also really adds to the articulation and feel.

[GoFeesh]

Such a "classy" solo - it's got a little bit of everything and every note is played with such heart and soul. Very "emotional"

[marks]

Wow, thank you Tim, I didn't know about Jerod; what a frickin' introduction to his playing! Blew my mind with his touch. Hearing his finger fineness that guitar brought tears to my eye. Just amazing.

[VeritasAequitas]

That index finger tremolo strumming slightly reminded me of SRV strumming during Tin Pan Alley right after Johnny Copelands solo Live At Montreux 1985, but had its own thing going. I dig it.

[thefounding]

Jared is the man! I met him last year in Billings MT. He is an absolute beast on a guitar! Not mention, a genuine person.

[LCPLMiller]

JJN is so enthusiastic about the blues and blues rock, love the energy & what he brings with his unique style.
Wonderful breakdown Mr Pierce, you sir are one seriously talented individual. Thank you for sharing 🙏.

[JohnCollis]

Wow. Fantastic blues playing. So tasty, .

[julianmarlin]

Even the points where he chose to "click" his pickups were in the hippest musical spots! And still in time! You're totally right, Tim. It really is a perfect solo

[BodhiSoftMobileApps]

1:59 - Yes - music is ultimately about story, and story is about conflict & resolution, and floating freestyle out of the pocket for a few bars then locking back in creates conflict & resolution in rhythm just as much as the out notes create conflict & resolution in harmony & melody. See Chris DeGarmo's "Jet City Woman" solo for a great rock 'n roll example of phrasing that floats out of the pocket (though in this case there's no swing and it's just a banging straight eight-note pulse) then locks back in.

[stevenrotherymarillion]

So refreshing to hear someone play with such great taste and grasp of dynamics.

[harrysearia]

Dear Mr Pierce, i concur with everything you said about this guitarist. When i listened to your detailed point you right on the money. And you sir, never cease to amaze me with your style and technique vocabulary.

[joelnielsen]

JJN deserves much more coverage. Thanks for sharing his mastery.
