Eddie Martinez, who wrote the music to "State of Shock" is also playing on it. But yeah, Tito is good. He can hold it down. He's not a flashy player, but he is good.

His live extended solo on "Workin' Day And Night" from the live 1980 Jackson's LP is good. Very clean and B.B like.

Well Tito and the Brothers got to meet Hendrix after he went late with studio time, Bobby Taylor knew Hendrix. I imagine just being near Jimmy was a learning experience. Here's Tito doing a solo in 72

As a guitar player myself I have to say that Tito is pretty good. Better than many may expect. He does the rythm parts especially well but he has done pretty good solos as well. He mostly plays blues pentatonics but he can mix it up as well with ninths (like in the funky Heartbreak hotel solo) and I really like the clean solo in push me away.

I know he plays on only 2 J5 cuts as Mowtown didn't let the boys write or play. He plays on Goin' Back To Indiana and Hum Along and Dance.

As the Jacksons, We Can Change The World, Heartbreak Hotel, Wondering Who, All Night Dancin', Push Me Away, Things I Do For You.

tito has to be good...he was holding his own back in 1970...get the going back to indiana album...they are funky...its just jermaine BASS...tito GUITAR and a keyboardist and a drummer...they were nasty...jammin on sly tunes too...

U can even check out their audition tape to Motown in 68. Tito and Jermaine can play.

I usally don't type out his first name, and I wasn't thinking about, but I usually write Jimi like on my favorite songs list where I have at least 3 Hendrix songs in my top 30.

He plays on all Jackson albums from "Going Places" til the end.
