Jesse Johnson Plays His Most Iconic Songs

Описание: Jesse Johnson is one of the unsung guitar heroes of the Minneapolis Sound. Even Prince was said to have called Jesse his “...favorite guitar player,” for his masterful command of funk, blues, and R&B styles. Not only was Jesse the guitarist of The Time and seen in the film Purple Rain, but he has also put out some incredible solo records including Jesse Johnson’s Revue, Bare My Naked Soul, and Verbal Penetration (to name a few).

Today, we cover (in part) Jesse’s influential contributions to Pop and R&B Music through his guitar playing, spanning from his work with Morris Day and the Time, Prince, and his solo work. Join us for some incredible stories and exclusive, never before seen, performances from Jesse, breaking down his signature guitar parts.
