GUITAR LESSON "THAT"S BORING" GETTING THE MOST OUT OF MUSIC WITH KIRK FLETCHER

[@angelcry79]

Got through my second bournout and prone to depression. The birth of my son six months ago was the best day of my life, and yet my will to live is not strong today. Luckily there are people like you, Mr. Fletcher, who give me a little courage with your art. Godd bless you.

[@Rowen170]

These lessons are priceless. The state this country is in it is so refreshing to see his smile and willingness to teach us. Thank you

[@frnkgt00]

Not only are you a great guitarist, musician, teacher but you have a great soul and positive vibe and personality. I enjoy your videos thank you for all you’ve taught me.

[@pyannaguy4361]

Around 11:00 - Kirk says it all. It'a a reason why Jazz started losing audience. Players started focusing less on accessible melody and more on shredding and trying to impress other musicians. Tell a story with your playing, besides "Look how great I am!"

[@malsmith475]

You my friend are a national treasure, your disposition and attitude towards music crosses over to life in general, keep it simple,don’t over complicate stuff. Thanks Kirk, greetings from Japan.

[@levionlincoln3641]

I am on Lincoln of Summerville South Carolina man I just love the way you break that down and explain it awesome job

[@jerryhawkins8726]

At 64 fighting off neuropathy and depression its refreshing to find someone who takes more time and slows down for me so thank you. I've played gospel music my whole life and finally made it to a nashville stage then my dream came true so I said goodbye and went home to raise my babies thank you for your time and I think you naturally have patience

[@douga8296]

"...like a singer would think...." This is one of the hardest lessons to learn. We all want to play fast and flashy, but that's not how to move people.

[@gvbjr.6693]

The beauty of the blues is the magic of emotion,”PASSION”. Take the simplest thing, share it with the one you love, and it becomes the most beautiful thing!

[@nixoni.bogaine155]

The most valuable music lessons on the internet are brought to you by KF 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

[@Robert_Bubba_Baker]

I just loved this lesson. But what shines most how you really enjoy what you do and sharing what you feel is important. Thankyou.

[@winstoncarter8009]

I enjoy listening to you play and then afterwards you explain to us about the blues and the melody's of the music That's being played.

[@dalewilliams-certifiedeosi683]

Kindness and truth in your playing and in your teaching. Melody rules, simple ain’t easy.

[@sciexp]

Thanks for sharing. I am discovering new videos where you give lessons on the blues.

[@GregoryHillSr]

When I was in the military we used the phrase: K.I.S., "Keep It Simple" and you definitely reminded me the parallel and it works everywhere!! Thank you Mr Fletcher for that reminder......👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

[@ditchgator1]

Imagination...without it, what's left? 👍😎❤ You've got it and I love it👍😎❤

[@lucastriplets]

Morning sir. Cheers from Brazil, I thank you everyday for these vids.

[@BGsea]

This is like being at a guitar class on a hill on a breezy summer but shady morning called coffee and guitar with kirk...yes if you're playing you want the listener to feel some way. This is one way to make them feel like they're enjoying their favorite dessert

[@steveincollins]

Great advice! Some of my friends are surprised that I'm able to sit in on gigs where I barely know the material, but this is how I do it. I focus on the vocal melody and playing small parts that fill the gaps

[@Petekelly55]

i love this man. He is honest and it comes through in his music. I think he and Zac Childs are brothers from a different mother, they both share that relaxed way of talking and playing. Love your music Kirk.

[@josephfuentes2251]

Yes! A true artist can paint a masterpiece with just 3 colors!

[@noahtenshen]

You inspire to be better everytime I listen you. Great lesson--excellent points--beautiful playing. Wonderful Human. Stay Well.

[@jonhughes7264]

[@gotajallo2665]

[@kirkfletcher2845]

Music is so wonderful, thank you

[@jacobrubin5700]

Thanks Mr Fletcher for all you do and be such a wonderful inspiration!!!!

[@martyrosser3451]

Mr Fletcher, please don't take this question wrong, EVERY single thing you share is priceless and I'm soaking it up, love these!! Can you share some of your gospel knowledge, like chord progressions used in gospel and how to compliment a song with skills like you have?! Haha, but really, when you play that stuff, it has SO MUCH FEEL, I'd love to be able to do that someday! Anyway, thanks no matter what, you're awesomeness is off the charts!

[@jimjohnson4481]

That was funny, when Kirk said Im no expert? Cmon man!!

[@akashjain1777]

Thank you Mr. Fletcher for this.. :')

Loving it Kirk! Thanks for the lessons.

[@gervismyles5748]

Ok, I had an epiphany, my son was teaching me from his schooling at Oberlin relative minors. This song you played opened my eyes

[@glenbason1892]

Really enjoying your new album!

[@gervismyles5748]

Man I never get bored with what you be puttin down

[@Nikoo033]

Wise words. Thanks Kirk 🙏🏻

[@Wermode]

Great stuff. Thanks, Kirk. Along with “how to practice” this idea should be at the beginning of every guitar course. Cheers!

[@НикитаМаркелов-ь1в]

The sound is brilliant. You are not a best music teatcher, but you can show some right sound. A sound, that i d like to use. You may be not a grate teacher, but i m happy to listen to you, to watch you, and have a joy. A joy, that I d love to give to my listeners. this is brilliant, do not stop, please!

[@DB-uf6md]

My heart is so warm and happy after that jam at the begining, Thanks for sharing your gift and knowledge kind sir!

[@aardvarkusrex]

It's about the meat and potatoes! Thanks for another great sharing session, Kirk!

[@billywebb4325]

I love your playing, man. I especially like the way you accompanied Joe Bonomassa in concert. He should have you as his "go to" sideman!

[@richardb3382]

So peaceful ✌🏻️❤️🌵

[@jimsz520]

Amazing playing as always and with your signature a positive vibe towards everything. Gonna be jamming this progression and getting lost in myself for hours this eve 🤣👌🏼

[@guitarplayer7381]

Thank you for your words of wisdom. I truly appreciate your videos!!

[@dowaliby1]

Thank you so much, Kirk. You have made a tremendous impact on my playing and approach to music.

[@jucaguitar]

Yes.. Before you fly, certify you can Walk... something like this? Thanks from Brazil !!!!

[@timsellsted521]

I'm going to borrow all of this advice!

[@pete3773]

As always wise words from Le Fletch. Request time: bring back the beard!

[@weps2097]

I learn so much from your videos. This lesson really highlighted my need to focus on my touch and pick attack. I'm still working on melodic playing as well. Thank you so much!

[@georgecrabtree6447]

Watched with morning coffee, perfect!

[@denselman]

Thank you!

[@Thebluesguy]

I really follow you on this, keeping it simple and creating melodies is just the way I like it too. I think the rytmical approach in the solo playing is important too, could you talk about that too pls ? And thx a lot for doing theese vids 👍

[@michaelc.2599]

I just recently discovered your channel and wanted to thank you for your approach to music. You've helped make the guitar enjoyable for me once again. You reminded me to KISS - keep it simple stupid - we can learn from this both musically and in our day to day lives. Thank you!

[@sebastiancedillo7721]

Cool

[@wəntruth]

I love you man! Thank you Kirk!

[@craigtaylor6208]

Much appreciated, once again kirk.

[@dennisfarrell6776]

I wish I could play like that - and I mean "play" in both senses of the word.

[@paulbivins6483]

You are way smooth.Thanks

[@rene-georgesrere2709]

Ok kirk super merci a bientôt

[@rene-georgesrere2709]

Vous avez une sensibilité époustouflant merci pour ce moments

[@grusiner]

[@alchemysticgoldmind4164]

Feeling..is the ticket

[@dozzler49]

genius

[@Emmetgriffin9]

❤❤❤❤❤

[@zamplify]

Tasty and wise.

[@huubhuijs2958]

I love your playing and the way you teach. Do you perhaps know of a blues saxophonist doing good vidoes on youtube?

[@GetOutsideYourself]

Kirk with the 1950's haircut to reflect the soloing.

[@ericwong1972]

The opposite of simple elegance would be shredding.. 50notes per second without inspiring any emotional response. The older I get the more I realize it’s actually harder to play less notes and play the right ones

[@davidmacleod9313]

7:03 Or one of those throat singers! Lol

[@johntencza3381]

Do you create your own backing tracks?
