Greg Ferguson
Legend!
Jack Pearson and David Grissom
I don't know where they are in their careers, hopefully nowhere close to the end of them.
Pearson is unsung, but is an amazing player, who proves the sound is all in the hands. He plays stock Fender Squire Stratocasters, and gets tone and sustain from them that is mind-blowing. And, he'll switch from rock to blues to jazz in the middle of a short solo and do it effortlessly, and move up and down the neck, playing a scale on one string and every note is crystal clear. And his slide playing is up there with Derek Trucks. He played with the Allman Brothers for a short while, quitting because Dickey Betts' notorious stage volume was killing his ears.
Grissom has a sound that fits into Texas blues and rock, and blends double and triple stops and pedal steel licks into his solos effortlessly, in a way that only he does. He also had a stint in the Allman Brothers, along with The Dixie Chicks, Joe Ely, and others. He's also the guy that worked with Paul Reed Smith for over 20 years to design the DGT guitar, based on Grissom's specs. This is Grissom on the left, Davey Knowles and Lance Lopez messing around.
