Pat Bergeson posted that his friend Jack Pearson is "One of the best guitar players in the world". Jack formerly played in the Allman Bros band. There's a lot of Jack's playing on YouTube and a great interview with him about his early start playing guitar. If you listen to some of his other YouTube performances you'll hear a really smooth jazz-blues player originally from Nashville. He mentions getting to play with Chet at Chet's house.

Elizabeth Pearson plays bass for Jack. She was the female student on the early Chet instructional video. I'm assuming that she is Jack's wife.

Bill,

That is very interesting. There are several YouTube videos where she plays bass in the same band with Jack, and in one they are introduced as Mr. & Mrs. Jack Pearson. She is a good bass player and so laid-back in her performances doing blues and jazz with the best of 'em. If indeed they are the same person then Chet's influence on her music is evident.

Thanks,
Ronnie Evans

"Little Martha" is a song that features both Jack and Elizabeth. It's a soft mellow tune that Jack plays fingerstyle and Elizabeth plays some good bass support runs. Nice job.

Thanks,
Ronnie Evans
