Here’s Jack Pearson.

This is incredible. What a cool player. That whole natural wah thing he does is kind of mind blowing.

Yeah. I’ve met him a couple of times. SUPER nice guy. Talked with him for about 30 minutes. Just totally down to earth. Saw him sit in with the Allman Brothers (he was a member for a couple of years), Gov’t Mule and Tedeschi Trucks Band. I’ve seen him solo more than a few times at a club in Nashville. His 50th birthday party was one of the best shows I’ve ever seen. Reece Wynans played with him that night. Then afterwards, when we’re chatting with him, he asks us to go eat with him and the rest of his pals. We didn’t want to feel like intruders so we declined. Now I wish we’d have gone.

You should look up more of his stuff on YouTube. He’s my favorite guitar picker ever.

Jack Pearson sounds incredible playing jazz too, one of those guitar players who just seems supernaturally talented:

Had you heard of him before, spenno?

[Birds in Hell]

Yeah, stumbled on him via YouTube a few months ago.

Bluesy noodling isn't usually my thing but he's just an incredible musician.

maybe i'll get 2

Just get this sweet boy

i can get 3 of the squires for that price

since when has money been a concern for doug

its a beginner one for my wife, not like I'm going to get her a 61 SG

A ‘61 would technically be a Les Paul Junior. It didn’t become the SG until ‘63. My dad actually has a ‘61. It’s the guitar I learned to play on.

It wouldn't have to be a junior. HH configurations with all of the normal appointments were just Les Pauls. Juniors came with one P90, dot inlays, etc...

But the body style wasn’t called the SG until ‘63. The only guitar with that body style in ‘61 was called the Les Paul Junior.

There were 61 Les Paul “standards” with the "SG" body style.

[doug rr]

stop arguing and just get me this one

[Self]

oh, don't get my tone wrong, Dougray; I'm not here to argue, I'm just a Gibson guy.

And that '61 looks nice. I need an SG in my arsenal.

here's the junior:

Spoiler: show

[doug rr]

oh i know..just thought you or wease might send me one

[Self]

I can't send you one, Doug. i don't have any.

I've been cruising Reverb for a special with p90s, preferrably a double-cut, 2 pups, 2 volume/tone knobs. I think that'll be my next one.

Can you send me one of those?

Interesting. I don’t think I’ve seen this before. And I’m not saying I don’t believe you. Did they have the two pickups?

That’s what my dad has.

I’m a Gibson guy, too. Fuck Fender. Guitars anyway. The old amps are good.

[Birds in Hell]

Fender guy over here!

Sames! But you can't have one without the other!

Yeah, they had two PAFs. Doug posted a picture of one.

The amps are quite good, but I don't have anything against the guitars, really. I have a Tele that I use once in a while. I just prefer my Les Paul to anything, to be honest. I think they get unfairly maligned as a one trick pony. The 3 way switch with separate volume and tone controls allows for a ton of versatility, in my opinion.
