Vernon is such a talented and humble guy! Wanna hear a true story? I met him during a R’n’B production in Germany, he was hired by the producer for playing on two songs, I was booked as mixing engineer. We would be sitting at the studio late at night, enjoying Greek food, beer and bourbon. I was quite young back then, working as a tutor at the recording studio at music university, but still studying jazz piano at that time. So Vernon kept callin me „the professor“ for fun (quite prophetic, since today I am). At one evening I invited him to come to my final exam concert at the famous Jazz Studio Nürnberg. He came. He brought his axe. He joined us on stage!! You have to imagine this scene, a bunch of really young and inexperienced jazz players in a small club, and then Ice played perfectly with us, improvising, of course without ever having rehearsed with us. It was magic, and I will be forever thankful to him. I really hope we will meet again one day!
I knew Vernon in the early 80s in Santa Cruz. We were both part of the local Top 40 scene. Whenever I wasn't gigging I would always makes sure to go see him play. He player with a killer bassist named Willie Durbin who could command and captivate a whole room just by himself. Vernon was playing a big fat Jazz guitar and he sang all the tunes. He was a magical player and he could sing his ass of as well. So inspiring. I felt so lucky to be there for that. To me back then, George Benson had nothing on him.Vernon was a force of nature. I thought for sure that one day he would be a superstar in his own right. Who knows maybe he still will be.
These divas like whitney and mariah are the best singers and they did not inspire new musician to sing like they did. I think the ''in your face'' sound of vocalist these days is just a weak excuse to let people know they don't have the chops. I mean the best of the best are using microphone techniques when the dynamics in their voice are strong. When i hear music today, it is flat in that regard... always whining (in your face) about this and that, and melodies are gone from the music, the melody and groove go hand in hand that is music!
can i just say, this bloke is a very cool relaxed bloke that seems easy to approach and talk to. nice to see someone of his caliber as a legendary musician so down to earth. forgot the chords of a song, played something really nice, and said that could have worked. music comes from the heart, not the head, and that's how this guy plays.
When I'm in show band all girls front liners and covering RnB tunes from Whitney, Mariah and spice girls Vernons rhythmic, chords, groovy rhythm is somekind of addiction to me that days, and I'm greatful having his styles and chops on my library till now as my tools in every groovy songs i play. Thank you sir Vernon for the inspiration you are a hero. Thank you Mason for this! 🙏❤
I played the guitar on Emotions!!! Produced by Robert Cliviles and David Cole. That is my signature direct tone. I love Vernon, but please check the credits!
@@PaulPesco Thanks for the clarification! I think Vernon only states that he played it on the MTV unplugged album and some of the other live recordings. I don't think Vernon says that he played it on the records. Great playing on that record! Great tone! What other gear did you use? What guitar?
I was playing ESP guitars at that time. For that session I used the same black ESP Vintage plus that I played on the Virgin tour with Madonna. Check the “Dress You Up In My Love” live video from that tour.
Vernon is a great guy and a great guitarist. I had a chance to play with him on some recording sessions in Oakland back in the early 80’s. Great memories. God bless you brother. You look great and sound great.
I don’t think the video disputes that. I think all it says is it’s one of her first big hits not the first. It also list the date, 1991 which clearly put it as the second album.
@@VertexEffectsIncno there was some confusion going on. Her first record, they said emotions but that's her 2nd album then they were talking about her next album which would've been music box but they were talking about her debut album "Mariah Carey".
Wow, I don't comment on videos often, but I feel like I must say that this was a great ,great interview and Vernon was gracious enough to give some really in-depth answers about specific tracks. It is always refreshing and ear-opening to hear from session pros. Vernon is so spot-on with his approach to serving the composition first and foremost and no doubt it is why his playing helped these songs become such massive hits. Thanks to Mason also for asking such insightful questions here. I could really feel his enthusiasm for the subject matter and you can tell that he has a great knowledge and appreciation of Vernon's work.
I was blessed to record with Narda Michael Walden once. It was a magical experience and a highlight of my music life. Very cool to see this. He is such an incredibly loving and positive person. I am a huge fan of Vernon and I studied Nardas work extensively. I was always a huge fan of mahavishnu.
Vernon Black! The unsung guitarist! Love his work with Mariah Carey. He did a guitar solo on Maze ft. Frankie Beverly’s song Love’s On The One @ the end. Classic! Glad he’s still here.😌🎶🎸👍🏾
Vernon use to be in my moms band in the 80s before they both became famous . My mother is Rosie Gaines she ended up joining Prince band New Power Generation
The swells and harmonics he plays on "One Moment In Time" were amazing. Such subtle tracks yet add to the magic. BTW, "One Moment In Time" was actually for an album for the 1988 Olympics in Seoul. It was NBC's first time covering the Olympics and they used those songs in their TV broadcast (Whitney was still an unknown during the 1984 Olympics in Los Angeles). "One Moment In Time" was performed by the choir and orchestra at my high school graduation and it was considered a current song, having came out the year before.
Thanks for the correct, it was before my time so I didn’t have the lived experience to correct it. It wasn’t a planned song that we’d had him rehearsed so we just went with it and I didn’t think to double check which Olympics it was. Thanks for watching!
I took lessons from Vernon in the late 80’s Such a beautiful musical soul. Always filled with love and inspiring to this day. Just a genuine wonderful spirit. Thx Burnin Vernon!!! PS Such a tribute to his his humility that it didn’t even occur to him to solo. His fusion chops are INCREDIBLE! Just so tasty!!
He explains it between the Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston portion of the interview. Basically a custom built guitar Vernon made in 1982 with the help of Gary Brawer and Dan Ransom in San Francisco. It’s a really cool concept he came up with using those push button switches.
Absolutely wonderful. You guys bring me back 30+ years with 2 of my favourite singers: Whiteny & Mariah. Great guitar parts and tone, and such a cool dude.
What a life he lived, having all those memories i would just sit, think & just cry... a young Whitney.... a young Mariah....times that will never come back....he's very humble but also seem a liiiiiiiiillle slow, but still cool!
Nothing in the video disputes that. Pretty commonly known that this was sampled/re-recorded for Fantasy. Nowhere do we state that he invented the riff nor that this was the origin for the riff.
This was such a great interview & just brought back all kinds of "Emotions" for me. From the ADA rig which I used back in the 90's & is still in my storage to seeing my good friend David Cole (rip) at the piano playing on the Unplugged show to all the great stories Vernon had to share. Mason has that "kid at heart," Nerd-out musician thing that we all know so well & would do talking all night about the little details that get us off. What a fun watch!
@@VertexEffectsInc I am enjoying it. I've just discovered your channel and am loving it. Watched Wendy Melvoin video before and now onto Paul Jackson Jnr conversation. I just love the vibe of these vids and the insights. Glad to have found you. Keep up the sterling 'work', aha.
Whitney Houston's "How will I know" was one of the first Mtv videos we watched when getting into Mtv. We had a cassett, anyways, of her first album. It got played a lot back then. I wasn't one of these kids who put up posters of girls in bikinis in my room; i put up Smithsonian posters of evolution and galaxies and such. But, I did have a Whitney Houston poster! I remember asking "who's that guitarist" in Whitney Houston's "So Emotional" video. So, I'm really struck to see this video pop up on my youtube feed!
This takes me back to the day - Skyline High in Oakland when James Levi ( Drummer and school guard ) introduced me to Vernon after he caught me and a couple of friends cutting school to go to Guitar Center . It was a lesson learned.
I love how us amateur guitarists obsess over what gear and equipment the pro’s use and then the pro’s are like “I can’t remember exactly what I used on that track. Yeah a J45 sounds about right” Makes me realise I shouldn’t waste so much time trying to get it bang on and just enjoy playing and the music.
I can see a person in a music store, who spots a Vertex pedal and goes, "Oh, Vertex. Those guys are so much about actual music. I think I should get one of their pedals"
Outstanding guitarist! I love the rhythm guitar on Someday and the solo is sweet! I was a young guitarist when this song hit the radio and upon hearing the solo I ran out and bought the cassette to learn the solo.

Thanks for that human story. When all people in the world would make music then there would exist real peace
I live for stories like this. Musicians talking about other musicians. Thanks for sharing.
Best series going on YT right now. The more session player interviews, the better!
Wow, thanks! Please share, help us spread the word!
The iconic MY ALL intro & interlude played by him!!!! We need PART 2 ❤
Yes!!!
Mariah, you're on fire! Great playing. Love Vernon! Didn't he also play on I Wanna Dance With Somebody?

Emotions was Mariah's second album. Her first was 'Mariah Carey'.

This is your best episode EVER 👏👏👏👏
Wow, thanks!
I wonder if this guy smokes ganja. Cause i can't tell.
Huh?

"Fantasy" is a cover Groove from The Tom Tom Club. That Guitar hook was made by Adrian Belew…not by this dude.
Nothing in the video disputes that. Pretty commonly known that this was sampled/re-recorded for Fantasy. Nowhere do we state that he invented the riff nor that this was the origin for the riff.
What a great soul of a person, such love for people and music. People like Vernon are a gift of great talent that just makes ya feel good inside.
Great to see such a diverse and funky guitarist covered, instead of just the usual (yawn) common stuff everyone does on the guitar.
Glad you enjoyed it! Vernon is a great player!
I'm glad I got to learn who this man is, what an amazing talent.
First chords sound a lot like Tom Tom Club's Genius of Love.
That’s because it is, they re-recorded it, sort of like a sample, but with actual musicians
Wow what a legend! So cool to see the man behind the groove.
Yes! Total legend!
WOW ,... the video started playing and IMMEDIATELY i started bumping my head... how cool
Wow!! He appeared on Mariah's Thanksgiving Special video i first watched in 1994. He looks Awesome 👍🏼
Thanks for bringing these artist that we may not known them but they are there in our life.
Man there's a lot of wisdom here that Vernon freely hands out. Vernon is just simply great 🤘🏽 GREAT interview my dude 🎸😎

Does anyone know what pickups he's using on this stratocaster?
Whitney was a vocal Goddess!
Bring back the ONLY REAL Dance Music = DISCO-FUNK!!!!
great video, ya'll have some amazing guests and Mason's enthusiasm gets the guests opening up.
To any non guitarists out there. That is a really sick guitar. lots of function in that thing and custom built for sure.
Awesome!!!

Best of the best!
even talking he's in the pocket!
Hahahahahaha! Yes!
Simplicity gòt paid. Young bucks. Less is more. He played on Icons. Yezzir!!!!
That picture is from 2004/5 than 1993, I bet all the years bleed into one!
There should be a correction I put earlier today under the table of contents in the description that says 2003. Time flys!
Yes, that's definitely 2003 Charmbracelet era Mariah, not 1993 Music Box era. Great interview! ❤
Whitney Houston's "How will I know" was one of the first Mtv videos we watched when getting into Mtv. We had a cassett, anyways, of her first album. It got played a lot back then.

Man o man....the chops
One of the best
I would love it if Vernon played with Charlie Wilson. It seems like that would work so well.
I bet. Vernon grooves!
These interviews make me miss the 90s even early 2000s. I miss being younger. Music today with rare exception just doesnt speak to me
I love how us amateur guitarists obsess over what gear and equipment the pro’s use and then the pro’s are like “I can’t remember exactly what I used on that track. Yeah a J45 sounds about right” Makes me realise I shouldn’t waste so much time trying to get it bang on and just enjoy playing and the music.
2:32-5:12 my favorite section 😂
He’s funny when he answers “not in the neighborhood bro” and “she’s every woman 🎸 ” 😂
I can see a person in a music store, who spots a Vertex pedal and goes, "Oh, Vertex. Those guys are so much about actual music. I think I should get one of their pedals"
Did ICE study jazz?
Love the way he puts his progression together
He’s like, fuck all those numbers and models, I just make shit vibe and sound great.
Vernon goes to a whole new level at 26:40.
Priceless wisdom aside, the best part was watching them vibe to I’m every woman
Thank you for that Mason! Hard to tell what angle that headstock is sitting at in the video. A little mind bending😊
It's not a headstock shape you'd recognize. Vernon shaped it himself back in 1982 when he made it with the help of Danny Ransom and Gary Brawer.
How can we get in contact? I would love to talk to you more. But not here on RUclips
Just texted you 🙂
"I can't remember the chords" and came up with the most beautiful chops at 6:15
What a cool dude and what wonderful playing. Had to wonder what he playing through? Sorry if the question is redundant.
