   About Jimmy Jackson
Producer, guitarist and songwriter Jimmy Jackson grew up in Florida where his dad taught him to play guitar at the age of 6. At 17 he moved to southern California where he met and was mentored by the late great Gene Davis, lead guitarist for Eddie Cochran and Roger Miller. STEINBERGER: You have become known as a session ace as well as a top-notch producer. How has studio work helped develop you as a player and musician? JIMMY: In studio work you learn how to listen. You figure out that you have to know what a song is about and be sensitive to what the artist’s vision for that song is. STEINBERGER: You worked closely with Ned Steinberger in the development of the new ZT-3 Custom. What was it like to work with a living legend like Ned Steinberger? JIMMY: Ned is a true "artist" in every sense of the word and his many design's and innovations are like great songs or paintings. I am blessed by his friendship but I am also a huge fan of his work. STEINBERGER: What was your initial impression of the instrument? JIMMY: I remember sitting in my studio and looking at the ZT-3 prototype when I first got it and it was like how some cars look fast when they're just sitting still. This thing looked like it was performing just sitting there! It was beautiful and substantial at the same time. That night I got up before 5 am and went into my studio and recorded my first song on it "Machine's Of Loving Grace." STEINBERGER: You have become quite involved with Michael Nesmith of Monkees fame lately. Tell me about Ranch Dressing. JIMMY: Speaking of true artists and innovators, I am again blessed by my association with Michael Nesmith and to be involved in his online "in world" site www.VideoRanch.com. I met "Nez" through a mutual friend Laura Ellen Hopper of KPIG Radio. A few months after introducing me to Nez and Video Ranch she passed away and I have her to thank for the wonderful music I get to make by way of that introduction. I put together the house band for VR3D called "Ranch Dressing" (www.myspace.com/RanchDressing3d) and we play a 3-set show on a weekly basis for a worldwide audience. It's Live and in Real Time and the audio is broadcast at 48k so it's like being at a great concert with studio quality sound. The bonus for me is that I not only have friends from all over the world now who come in to listen but I also have this serious kick ass band as a result of a years worth of shows under the discerning and helpful eye of Michael Nesmith. STEINBERGER: With all that you have done, what is it that inspires you musically today? JIMMY: A lot of things but I really like it when genres meld together, hip-hop with rock and a melodic singer. Blues meets Electronica or Bluestronica is what we play in Ranch Dressing. I like it when the past the present and the future all come into the room at the same time and shake hands.

Hey Jimmy!

Still kickin' ass & takin' names I see...what a talent you are! Unbelievable sounds coming from you & and that ZT3...-sheesh!

Thanks for being the one to inspire me into playing slide guitar (well, besides Duane, Les & Lowell). -You were the one who really taught me how it all worked!
A lot of really great & fond memories there buddy, at that old house on Market St. back in the day, and with you & Marriott later on. -I'll never forget those times!

So glad to see you doing so well, & still playin' like there's no tomorrow...


-Take Care & Keep on Rockin'!

Wow! and I thought I needed to stop eating fast food! haha j/k...I really do though! I would LOVE to hear some stories about mom...she tries to play cool but I know the truth! Thank you for the compliments! I'm teaching preschool and loving it....it's great birth control hahahaha.....(mom and dad would be happy to read that!).
I'm getting my certification to teach high school so I can start paying off some student loans and hopefully will do some traveling on the side! Life is good! Love, Jessica
