Ойын-сауық

    I could be wrong but his collection of Squire guitars is probably more of an artistic statement and he’s probably trying to be a contrarian. He’s probably trying to create the image of being the “cool poor man”…..That said, Squire guitars are still excellent especially when set up properly. I actually prefer my Squire bass than a Fender one

    Being fortunate enough (and old enough) to have seen the band with Duane 10 times, I enjoyed the interview with Jack, most notably his humility. I've seen few as soulful as Duane, and Dickey was no slouch in that department as well, but purely in terms of guitar playing, Jack is on a whole other level than anybody who has ever played with the ABB. His Jazz chops are pretty damn amazing as well. I have never watched a player that was more relaxed in his execution. Probably the most underrated player in the USA.

    Jack has run the gamut of bands and acts, and he has received a lot of well-earned praise the last few years. However, he is an example of how hard it can be to hammer out a career.

    I have over two dozen songs on worldwide release and I get feedback from listeners complementing my "guitar tone". Interestingly, like Jack, I took a chance on a Squier Telecaster for $89 new because I liked the fact it had a humbucker at the bridge. As it turns out, that became my favorite guitar for recording, especially the guitar solos and is the guitar I use 95% of the time in the studio. I have more expensive guitars but nothing pleases me more than soloing on what I call my "Rockcaster" (The $89 Tele) for tone and playability. Although it's not bad looking you'll never see a picture of it as I try to keep it my as my "little secret". Go figure.

Became friends with a road manager who worked for John Scher, the big manager/music promoter. That guy, Bert, became the manager of the Allman Brothers for like 30 years!

    Absolutely hilarious. I was going through a pawn shop back in about 2002 and I found a Squire Strat that the neck felt perfect on it. It was a '99 and out of Indonesia. I did have to eventually replace the pickup switch, the saddles & the nut, but it's still going strong. You know what? It's still probably the best playing guitar I've ever touched. I've picked up others that weren't as perfect as this one, but I just lucked out. Same original pickups, too. Most of your sound comes out of your speakers and amps, so there's that. I just bought a year old Squire Mustang for $100, and same thing. LOUD on its own, too, but another great Squire. You're absolutely silly if you spend thousands of dollars for a guitar. You can only do so much with wood and metal strings...

    @Mike Smith - I totally agree. Many years (1989) I was 18 years old. I had saved up enough money through delivering newspapers, doing odd jobs, saving pocket money, pooling Christmas and birthday money to buy a USA Strat. I remember going to the music shop (Salop music in Shrewsbury, UK) and the friendly guitar salesman taking me through all the Strats on sale. Then he said "Here, try this Squier, it's brilliant". The moment I strummed an E chord on it it just rang and sang. Really loud almost like an acoustic! It was a 1988 black Korean Squier Strat. I bought the guitar, and I still own it today.

    Why is it that I'm 57 and just now hearing about this guy? I've probably heard him play a thousand times and never knew who I was listening to. The hearing damage really brought it home. I spent a couple of years in an artillery unit with the 101st Airborne and that caused the majority of the damage. Then in 1996 I was struck by lightening. Nowadays, by the end of a gig I'm playing by feel. Jack Pearson is incredible and I hope I get the chance to see him play live.

    Yeah, I first learned to play on a "finger-bleeder" too. A couple of years ago I stumbled on a 1960 model Martin that was left unlocked in the vintage room at an iconic midwestern music store, and picked it up and started playing it. As I sat there facilitating the wonderful sounds this instrument was poised to release, I thought about that "finger-bleeder," and how unfair it was that anyone should have to learn to play on a guitar that wasn't as easy to play as this , but then I just accepted it as a way the Universe weeds out the uncommitted.
