[barbarianatgate]

I've seldom heard a guitarist play as many styles as well as he does. He was the best part of the band on American Idol. The new guy they have isn't fit to carry Paul Jackson's amp!

[MsLiteN]

From one great to another, he absolutely shreds it to pieces with no effort at all. lol Absolutely Brilliant! Thank you for sharing this.

[calebbasped]

THIS GUY LOOKS LIKE carl winslow

[DynamiCsh]

[secretosdelshred]

[TheBobaroo]

brilliant

[Luccaguitar]

Fantastic

[rudmood]

wow man! amazing playing!



[MattBlackParis]

Gary Grainger from scofield's band?

[Musicole]

Paul Jackson Jr. is a true legend who deserves all the success given on to him in this industry. As a guitarist myself, his style of Jazz, Pop, and Funk has been a major influence on my style of playing. Keep up the good work!!

Michael C.

[Fusongs]

BEAST ALERT!!!!

[6stringslinger]

For those who don't know who Paul jackson Jr is. Paul is a master studio guitarist who has worked with Quincy Jones, Michael Jackson, Luther Vandross, Janet Jackson, Whitney Houston, George Benson, and is currently the main session guitarist for American Idol. So check yo selves fools!!!!

[sepisepsep]

@6stringslinger Plus he has some monster guitar instrumental albums that totally own! Yea!

[vodude]

@6stringslinger You're absolutely right. Paul is one of those quiet but really talented guys that nobody outside the business knows about but almost everyone has heard play on some major album at some point. It's just too bad that he isn't more appreciated by the masses. But that's to be expected when someone is primarily a session musician. They are the quiet wizards behind the scenes & are also one of the biggest reasons why so many albums sound as good as they do.

[dnyamai78]

amazing!!!

[gregoryusa1]

It takes nerve and skill to take on that tune in public, as everyone knows that tune inside and out, as only GB plays it. Nice rendition.

[golferthatwins]

Good job big guy!!

[davidgrech1]

Nice rendition.. love the feel and phrasing.

[ttsqas]

I like Paul but I'll take Benson playing this song to him any day.....just no comparison.

[funzup]

I really like him! Best guitarist in the world!

[YueSir]

waooo! really awwsome paul is very cool! i like this grooovee!

[0612301999]

That sounds amazing =D

[tedongtr]

Paul Jackson Jr. is a Master on the Guitar!

[OtaraPiMp]

Woahzers..the mantis

[topperspoppers]

he made this song his bitch

[Hoopermazing]

@ Uziel005 - Heard, stupid.

This is George Benson's song by the way.

[Hoopermazing]

@Uziel005 - It's still spelled "heard," you cretinous piece of dog shit. Moreover, fucktard, "its" and it's are not interchangeable. You must shovel shit for a living, because someone as clearly illiterate as you as couldn't possibly hold a job that necessitates writing anything. All talking shit aside, you truly are laughably stupid.

[joeblackborn]

que buen guitarrista es paul jackson especialmente la figurita que hace en el minuto 2:40 al 2:48 en el video muy buen riff

[rabmusic]

...um...WOW!

[cayocayo73]

bro ven a mexico y danos una clases  de verdad que estas hecho un gigante en la guitarra bendiciones

[CaribbeanMusician]

True master, but the best of all, is that he is a christian!

[Uziel005]

@CaribbeanMusician i know he played with the spaniard artist named marcos vidal which is an awesome composer look at the concert with marcos vidal

[joceeco]

He really does look like Carl Winslow. Great talent though!

[ImForgivenByGrace]

i thought that too lol

[TittyMcTits]

so clean!

[bca265]

man playing like that is great but what makes it better is that he looks like he's enjoying it too

[billpeart]

great work, looks like carl winslow, from that show with steve erkel!!!

[MiLadiUneke]

Whoa! I knew Paul had talent, but not like this. He played the hell out of this classic. I can't stop bouncing in my chair. That's my brother from another mother!

[physicsisntfun]

at around 4:13 he was probably like "ya, i pretty much am george benson!"

[mikegodinho]

Guys like Benson, Norman Brown, and yourself have been a great influence to me.

[beamochagirl]

Best verision Ive ever heard.

[robanchoedgar]

Whatever version this song has got be the most feel good song. Another one for the collection of favorites. Thanks bluematteo.

[Pprovo1]

He ripped that shit to shreds!!!!

[090Silly090]

absolutely beautiful

[q2w3bn876]

Great to see Paul Reed Smith in the background lining up new incredible PRS guitars. The instrument of true masters !

[DeadSeaPedestrians]

the PRS factory must have very poor facilities, it's the only major guitar factory in the US not capable of producing left handed instruments, either that or Mr Reed-Smith is a fascist who abhors catering for anyone different to himself, the fact he prohibits lefty instruments made in Asia under the PRS banner leads one to assume the latter as they are made in factories that make lefties for many other companies

[abbydnospam]

He improvised the solo. Took some chances too.

[3toso]

I love this dude, one of many my fav's guitarist. great artist and nice playin'.

[CantorLeandroBarbosa]

Maravilhoso

I Love you

[ahardmark]

He's a great player, and his tone isn't sounding too bad here either.

[Aceh72]

Brilliant!

[GeniusComposer]

Freaking AMAZING improvisation!!!!!!!!!!!! Go Paul Jackson Jr.!!!!!!

[Escobar9300]

[NeoBluez]

@Escobar9300

[stringmachine2000]

@Escobar9300 dont you know the song this dude is some dude dont you know who this guy is

[Escobar9300]

@stringmachine2000 Make sense much?

[stringmachine2000]

@Escobar9300 nah just thought you didn't know the song or the artist with your comment

[mhmoretti]

@Escobar9300 Paul Reed looks like Dr. Drew.

[rickames]

@Escobar9300 Ha ha, you're right. But the music is smooth.

[ployploy1969]

so clean... grabe ka litok.

[VanHoorelbeke]

I like Gabor Szabos version the best, and by the way it is not Bensons song, it was written by the great Bobby Womack.

[joeystratman]

Tasty,toneful,musical.That's what guitar playing should be,at least for me.Paul Jackson is a master!

[JazzyZenBrotha]

I love Paul Jackson Jr. This is a nice job on George Benson's "Breezin." Two guitarists that I love & appreciate. I also love Paul Jackson Jr's songs "Encino Shuffle" & "Road to Everlasting"

[JazzGuitarist2007]

dang it paul you are so good man i love you hahaha.

i am now a fan

[elvisibrahimi]

yes, it is a George Benson tune, breezin` is the album name too :)

[Arikisei]

god bless the u.s.a ------ mr.montgomery.

[firestoneman147]

paul jackson is awesome him and ricky minor.

[sirgerry]

This man is great, and very humble, why isn't he more popular I woulndt know.

[stevieVantanna]

wasn't he in an 80's hair metal band?

[wilsonjrleon]

great guitarist

great guitar

[Odawg96]

Hmm...pretty good. I've followed Paul Jackson Jr. for years, and I know he's a phenomenal soloist. HOWEVER, he's like a lot of the other contemporary and smooth jazz guitarists: there's nothing distinguishing about him on his own albums. Truthfully, he was instantly recognizable when cornered the R&B session market in the 80s. You knew his playing right away when you heard it, but now...? Again he's GREAT, but he doesn't standout from the pack.

[bewnet]

I agree with you! He's phenomenal, though.

[gunfart]

nice, nervous at start but then got into it.

[lukePaulNorman]

Seasoned "Pros" like Paul don't get "nervous" at a jam promoting guitars...At most can be pissed with sound problems or stuff like that...not nervous.And he do much more than "got into it"...he do a plain and simple master-class of playin' with awesome fluidity, great and original lines,ideas and tasty class playin'.He's not a youtube shreding tennager wanting to impress some kids playin ultra fast boring licks,he is a f... pro!!!

[gunfart]

he just seemed it. ur probly right. in general i do believe that one must have the ability to burn. people who slate burning usually can't themselves.

[phrygian360]

sweet jam, tasty!

[xMiloTheGreatx]

Love Benson, and love Paul. PJJ did a great job covering this tune. I don't think we should compare who is better but just admire and learn from both. They are both amazing.

[cotelix]

love it he's the guitarist in american idol

[pacoolea70]

What an amazing guitar, i believe it is a PRS Modern Eagle. PRS are Great.

[lukePaulNorman]

A master playin' a master...Absolutely Great!!!!!

[zaqmlp1234]

sounds bad... im sure it was great if you were there, but as usual these onboard mics on cameras dont do any favours to the tone of his guitar

[boonokian]

so tasty

[Yngwie247]

that's one way to do it...

[sportsportsport]

sometimes when im on the net, i prefer this version to any other....evan by the man himself.

[eto127]

this is really tasteful. just makes me want to smile.

[mikesheldon15859]

this guy is amazing

[geeterman98]

i cant let that comment go...RANDY jackson is from american idol,this is PAUL jackson jr..please dont insult paul jackson...randy couldnt tie pauls shoes

[leston4life]

I saw PJJ playing guitar on American Idol along with Rickey Minor on bass (during the Taylor Hicks & Co. season). So I see some truth in PJJ being on American Idol.

[omarzinho3]

yeah dude nobody is comparing Mr. Paul with Randy...

it is just the fact that Paul plays in the band of american idol...

but i feel you anger...Mr. Paul is great!

[omarzinho3]

This guy play octaves so perfect!!

One of my favorites!!!

[monkiky82]

Which guitar is he using?

sounds awesome!!!

[darylarabia]

yeah he's the guy from american idol.. smooth playin. enjoyed it!

[jose044]

wow... music to enjoy :)

[surdoze]

Paul Jackson is great !i would like 2 see him playing breezin with george benson !

[panmancry]

Nice lines man!!

[icrenacer]

yeap, and also plays with HOSSANA MUSIC,with people like CHESTER THOMPSON, ALEX ACUÑA, JUSTO ALMARIO, ABRAHAM LABORIEL, TOM BROOKS, RON KENOLY, MARCOS VIDAL AND MORE GREAT MUSICIAN

[jptm92]

pretty sure this is the guy that plays for american idol... sure looks like him and hes got the versatility.

[kabustard]

You are correct.

[jimcarreyizdaman]

he also played for Michael Jackson back in the day, and pretty much every act of any importance.. he's awesome

[pacoolea70]

Right, this is Paul Jackson Jr. a studio guitarist who has had a brilliant career by playing in so many hit records by artists all over the world in different types of music. His playing is great.

[omarzinho3]

Mr. Paul jackson Jr. on a PRS...great combination huh?!

He play's lot and he's very...mmm i'll say it in spanish 'cause i don't know the word in english...Es muy versátil!!

[Tektra]

versatile, can play many styles

[omarzinho3]

thanks dude!!

[raidacaipo]

oh shit!!! carl winslow from family guy is finally JAMMIN!!!

[sportsportsport]

thanks for taking this film and uploading all these snippets on here...dude. i love prs

[Musicman1017]

No really.....that ending is sick!!! Love PJJ man!! He is phenomenal.

[schectersensei]

what kind of style do u call this music, man this guy is funky he's got the groovve!

[footcandy]

I guess it falls under the "Smooth Jazz" category.

[Lahed92801]

Yeah, but I guess this is an example of smooth jazz that is THANKFULLY not sold out like Kenny G-esque "pseudo Jazz" instrumental pop.

[farley90]

I honestly think that this guy was one of the best that night, except for Johnny Hiland maybe.

[phrygian360]

i'm ashamed to say the first time i heard this song was when it was used on beavis and buttheads "come to butthead" lol this is a great performance though this guy is amazing....

[lorekarito]

que bien toka este hijo de DIOS!

[viperBSG]

PRS Modern Eagle Baby! A $6,000 Dollar Guitar.Got a Love It!!

[domenjazz]

what amp is he using?

[viperBSG]

The amp he is using is the new Prs Private Stock Amp.With a Modern Eagle.I've plated an Eagle Identicle to this one.Talk about jaw droping.Solid brazilian Rosewood neck.You have to try one.

[denim98]

paul jackson is good but he is no George Benson.

[masterbrent]

Yeah, he's better.

[atl2maryland]

ai I wil take PJ over Benson anyday.. regardless of who is better.

[geeterman98]

i wonder if george benson has seen this...if he has,he may think twice about ever doing this song again! pjj is one of my faves i wish there were more of him on here to see and hear and enjoy

[bradley1107]

this guy is smooth but you MUST be kidding me!!

[lovejazzbass]

GB and PJJ are about 75 miles apart body!!GB leading...

[atl2maryland]

Paul Jackson plays so diversely and dynamically that yoou can't compare them. George has showed me anything but Jazz guitar. Paul Jackson has showed me Latin/Classical, Funk, R n B, Rock, & Jazz. yea George Benson is a better jazz guitar player.. but when thats all it seems that you do.. it's kind of obvious why he'd be better.

[GeorgeGuitarPer]

yeah!!!!!!!!!!! un master tocando algo de otro genio!!!

[smurfo129]

yesssssssssssssssss
