When he plays Lady in My Life and strums the octaves with his thumb, all I can think of how amazing it is that Wes Montgomery’s influence found it’s way onto Thriller.

Andre Thompson

Yes, West one of the best to pick up the acoustic guitar

Excellent presentation, Mason! I saw Paul play live in Sacramento with members of Earth Wind and Fire and George Duke's band in 1983 and I met Paul that night. He was so gracious and gave me his contact info. I wrote him a letter and instead of writing back, he called me. To a 22 year-old trying-to-be studio player, it was so encouraging! And as demonstrated in this video, still so consistent with the humanity that his faith has instilled in him.

Paul Jackson Jr. is so under rated. I absolutely love his sense of rhythm. His picking technique is so smooth and fluid, and like most of the greats so darn humble and likable. Great stuff Mason.

rXw55

Yeah I’d never heard of him before. He likes that Wes Montgomery style. Definitely under recognized by the general public awareness. Obv run into a lot of triggered fans cuz it’s his video.

Paul’s a class act. His students, I hope they know how blessed they are.

He is also clearly a monster jazz player that’s spent a lot of time listening to horn players, we don’t talk about that enough either.

Paul and Steve Lukather absolutely killed it on Thriller. It’s so great to see/hear the other guitar parts from that album

J

@johanare Makes sense. Wonder how it works with royalties in that case.

johanare

@Matt S I think Paul was on the original recording but Luke and Jeff had to redo everything so what you hear is Luke.

Matt S

1y↑2

@F S They did have to redo the track after Eddie or whoever screwed up the SMPTE code so maybe Ray's on the other version.

Matt S

@F S Dang. That's interesting. Ray Parker Jr played a lot with Luke.

Paul is amazing he deserves so much respect ! I was 17 when i bought Thriller and discovered Paul’s unlimited talent…since then I bought most of the records on which he played….sort of garanty that it was a good song or record. You can hear him play on Jeff’s Lorber trio Jazz Funk Soul, he is one of a kind and people like Quincy Jones or Michael knew it from the start. Thank you so much for this interview 👍🏻👍🏻

B Noble

Heard this song a thousand times but to see the musician break it down gives it a whole new depth.

What a great interview! As a part-time session guitar player, I and others were learning Paul's style and techniques because the artists and producers were asking for what they heard Paul, Nile, Huff, and others were doing. The gear he used was always way out of my budget, but of course, I and guys like me had to find lower-cost over-the-counter options. Thanks for posting this great interview!

Redeemed SOUL

This guy must have been in his very early 20's when he contributed to the Thriller album. What an amazing start to a career. I'm sure he has a tremendous resume.

He's incredible not just as a Guitarist, but an all round Musician. My band is playing a lot of his Music these days.

A tremendous talent. Seems like a great guy to be around.

Michael DeVose

Prolific. That's the only way to describe this man's career. Their is a whole other body of work that most people probably don't know about, and that is his sessions and live work with contemporary gospel artists. (80s to 2000s: Winans, Donn Thomas, Andre Crouch, Helen Baylor, he did a solo inspirational recording also and the list goes on). PJJ is one of the greats.

Dan Rebeiz

When you don’t just say “that part wasn’t me, I played this part”, but actually name the person that deserves the credit, that shows not only true humility but respect for the person that deserves the credit.

I feel like all the best session players have that quality. Humble, respectful team players.

That said., mad respect for the great Paul Jackson Jr.

Love it ❤

Zakk Davis

I love hearing musicians like this. Super down to earth too. Shouting out others. Just great. Music is about sharing the experience

Great interview and such a talented guitarist, with a real ear for the song. Man, I would have loved to hear him rip out that rediculous lead line that starts Michael Jackson's 'Why You Wanna Trip on Me', from the Dangerous album. Love all the solos he did with Five Star too, like 'Can't Wait Another Minute'. Could have listened for hours!

Thank you

That clean strat like single coil sound, used in so many 80s pop songs lightens up songs so much. Even if it's just in the background almost unnoticed.

Paul Jackson Jr. is truly a gifted guitar player, not only sought after and used so many times in the studio, but also a great solo jazz artist in his own right. I have several of his CDs going back years and he never disappoints. His funky-jazz covers of Soulful Strut, It's a Shame, and the Whispers' Rock Steady are great jams to listen to while driving. In fact, check out a live version of It's a Shame with Jackson rocking the guitar and the great Abe Laboriel on bass: https://youtu.be/m2i8JXhIQHU

This was an awesome interview. I’ve been a super fan of Paul since his I Came To Play album.
I saw in at a NAM show back in ‘97 and all I could say was, “you’re Paul Jackson Jr.” and he said yes and I basically froze.
I’m also proud to say that I also love recoding at 25th Studios in Oakland and it’s one of the coolest places to record music, they are so cool👍🏾
