[@propmaster101]

I’ve been taking time and learning all his videos note for note. I had to force myself not to give up and saying it payed off is an understatement🤣

Great lessons and playing so insightful

[@SparkysSpeedway]

Absolutely!!!!!

[@RahulDas-zy6ut]

[@ego2go-pk]

Hi Captain Kirk! Love the blues you play man. All the best!

[@busknwander5929]

So glad you were smiling during your improv, it gave me one from my guts 😁😁 Thanks man.

[@frederickthompson8686]

I love this guy. The real deal, always upbeat, and such a great artist. Thanks, Kirk. Stay healthy and happy New Year!

[@rolustrious]

Thank you for sharing your thoughts.

[@johnwelch557]

Kirk, the Strat (and the clones) are my favorite blues guitar. Expressive note character that can't be matched by other designs. By far your best sound IMHO. Thanks!

[@PeterAcrat]

Thank you Kirk 👍 - Improv expression!! -Man you just unloaded a trainload of skill and talent right there. Gonna take me the next 6 months to pick through and unpack it to find the goodies. Cheers🍺

[@kirkfletcher2845]

Awe thank you so much 😊 just having fun with it and I encourage all of my KZbin friends to do the same 😀

[@rzambory2938]

109 Thank You Kirk ! David P. is right on. This is what KZbin is about. 2 thumbs way up !!

[@pipotherium]

So very tasteful

[@paddyob25]

Lovely Kirk Fletcher.....memories for me of Alvin Lee/Ten Years After - Slow Blues In C....still kicking myself I missed you in Melbourne Aust last time......at an Aussie Bowling Club of all places! Won't miss the next time you visit Downunder. Love ya work mate!

[@richardb3382]

Nice✌🏻️❤️🌵

[@Tolbiny]

Brilliant. Heard a bit of an Otis Rush influence there.

[@OriginalOldSkoolFunk]

No doubt. One of Kirks greatest languages. Straight Chicago style. 👊🏾

[@kirkfletcher2845]

Love the great Otis Rush big influence

[@lightninstrikes]

@@kirkfletcher2845 talking about Otis rush I tried some modulating version on so many roads: kzbin.info/www/bejne/b3OQaZKnr95jhbc

[@sciexp]

Man... Thanks for this. You didn't forget anything to say in the 4:50 minutes... 😉🙂 I am more on the raw blues sound but these other chords I don't know, soul, gospel, etc. have a charm as well...

[@kirkfletcher2845]

Yeah I’m such a huge fan of both styles. The older I get the more I can appreciate it all pretty much 😂

[@jimamsden]

Kirk you sure made that "strat" sing. Its great to hear the expressiveness of a clean guitar. I makes you do more with your hands. Really appreciate what you do.

[@Wermode]

So great. Endless ideas, always musically interesting and expressive. And all the best guitarists laugh when they hit a clam. 😉

[@rene-georgesrere2709]

Salut kirk aaa ca sonne super bien merci bonne journée à toi excellente

[@glh1956]

terrific stuff Kirk

[@jonnybeck6723]

You're puttin' a smile on me face there Mr. Fletcher...

[@DaveElke]

Sweet playin! Thanks for sharing and hangin out with us!

[@strathamer]

It sounds sooooo good !

[@thereydiance]

Good stuff, Kirk. I appreciate all the stuff you share on KZbin. I especially like your latest album, My Blues Pathway. Your sound is hitting that sweet magical level, man. Great vocals too. I think a lot of people who hear this album will immediately want to explore all of your other albums. Never seen you live, but I'm looking forward to it.

[@MrMojabo]

My wife and me where talking. It was a year ago we where watching Joanna Connners at the Blues Bender. And it was February this year 2020 our last live show was you playing the Vineyard in Ventura. I got to tell you I'm getting use to these you tube gatherings

[@Magnum_Opus_Music]

You keep bringing us some heat Kirk! Thank you and i wish you a wonderful day 🎵

[@FSarnicola]

Ciao Grandissimo ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@pete3773]

You want extra grimacing with those blues? You got it. Mercurial playing, a delight.

[@tonymoroni505]

Thanks Kirk, your videos are guaranteed to make me pick up my guitar. Much love :)

[@kirkfletcher2845]

That’s why I keep doing them 🙏🏾 so many guitar heroes of mine made me do that ❤️

[@tonymoroni505]

​@@kirkfletcher2845 I can genuinely say that you are up there with players like Peter Green when it comes to my list of great players who inspire me. I also find your brother CT a great inspiration too. Thank you to both of you :)

[@jasoncrawford7777]

Kirk you are the smoothest Cat, Wonderful my friend cheers!!!

[@randols001]

Love watching your videos. Very much a new blues player, but if a hear a riff I think I can play, I'll pause and grab my guitar. Good stuff!

[@williampaisley1372]

Master..

[@Catfishfryzilla]

I like the "I Live On A Lonely Avenue" Lick, and the Otis Rush & Buddy Guy & Your signaure up & down arpeggio runs comming through...

[@joefoster9303]

amazing guitar playing. You got to show some of those tricks. really good stuff.

[@DoctorDave5]

Great stuff as always and continually inventive.

[@jackcompton8752]

Consummate master of the blues. Even through the tiny little speaker on my phone you sound amazing. I hope you find your way to Houston House of Blues sometime. Drive on! ✌❤🎸

[@tyfenn]

amazing!!!

Stil learning from the master

[@olympiabats4512]

[@pixelninja666]

That's brilliant mate, some great little chops in there

[@7ender8lues12]

Please mr. Fletcher.... make a Guitar Slim episode. Great blues guy!! And you know that 👍👍🏽👍🏾👍🏿

[@thevarietytalentshow7284]

Thanks for this video Kirk. I enjoyed it very much!!!! How's your day going?

[@kirkfletcher2845]

Hanging in there, kinda mellow day 😀

[@thevarietytalentshow7284]

Cool Man!

[@bransemlin56]

Thanks for sharing Kirk!

[@pablocortando1]

Excellent

[@jucaguitar]

The feeling!!!

[@bluesmax2]

Love your playing!♥

[@Kept_Crude]

Really enjoyed this. Like most of your vids.

[@rugatone]

It's such an inspiration!! Tks kirk!!

[@BGsea]

Yeah Kirk so many blues styles to learn from and their different artist. I keep a "to learn" list that grows faster than I can get them down. But the good thing is one informs the other so it gets easier, not to mention fun...I study your mojo of course. I also stumbled across a vid of Hendrix and Stephen Stills🤯. Also, I couldn't help but notice that mighty fine silver sky. I would be interested in any thoughts on where it fits in your collection

[@kirkfletcher2845]

Me too with the list, honestly I just really am impressed with the company PRS and and the silver sky is just fun to play. With the whole Covid thing I had a long time to think about what I’m looking for in a guitar mainly live. I have lots of ideas on guitars and I’m a vintage guitar lover, but I also like modern design to a certain point. The guitar is a beautiful tool to get you music across, so I like to not think about it and just think about the music ❤️

[@BGsea]

@@kirkfletcher2845 well said

[@MusicalTactics]

Sick! Amazing feel!

[@shanemendiola5615]

I needed this.

[@МаксимСмирнов-м3е]

Оооооо ееееее baby baby 🇺🇸❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@Pursuitofbalance]

Im starting to really find the notes I "think" I wanna play, learning the inversions of the pent everywhere, you have so many more options to make the same sound just a different color, it makes it more fun!

[@matteobarbera9250]

Scuse me can you show how to blend arpeggio and a blues lick please?

[@evanharnett]

Yes show us how you do it instead of just a playing demonstration.

[@ditchgator1]

Oh Yeah😎👍 Great stuff man❤ You know I love your journey 👍 If I may...a technical question? Did you have adjust pup heights all on that Silver Sky? Thanks 👍😎❤🖖

[@1sevillana]

I am really enjoying this video! What kind of Amplifier are you using? Sounds smooth!

[@LawtonChiles]

Wonder how the playability of PRS and strats compare

[@kirkfletcher2845]

I think the PRS plays excellent, I always refret my fender strats and do my little kirk mods to them. I love both really 😀 just depends on what you want.

[@fabghassem]

🌟✌🏽✅

[@dajbes58]

Hey Kirk , I know you don't answer alot of comments, but was wondering what kind of advise if any you can give me on the fact that I have very big hands , I've been playing for many years , but sometimes I feel as though I'm at a bit of a disadvantage, from what I see you have big hands as well, any thoughts on that ?

[@frightrags]

🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

[@JesusRocks26]

Be killer see a jump blues video

[@Kept_Crude]

Is this the John Mayer's PRS you're playing?

[@varminttank]

Kirk did you teach yourself or did you have a teacher when starting

[@evanharnett]

I love Kirk's playing and his down to earth demeanor and I enjoy these playing demonstration videos although call it "lesson" is click bait since mostly demo and brief chat but no nuts and bolts how to.

[@iagobroxado]

I've found the slow motion function on KZbin is my greatest friend sometimes.

[@evanharnett]

@@iagobroxado thanks for the tip! It would be good if Kirk said I'm bending this A note a full step, I'm playing in this key, etc. I like hearing influences and all that but a little "how I did that" would point us in the right direction.

[@ghalston5641]

I keep aiming for that... but never hit it...

[@codydafoe2951]

such

[@JGAbstract]

Someone likes their silver sky.. Lol

[@codydafoe2951]

you get suck amazing tone out of modern equipment

[@OriginalOldSkoolFunk]

I don't think it matters what axe when a Maestro like Kirk plays. That old saying is true...it's not the wand, it's the wizard. His sound and tone comes from his heart and his hands. Very expressive playing style no matter what vintage.
