[@stuartrichens724]

I’m trying to learn the blues. This guy is the ultimate benchmark for any blues player. Awesome,

[@keithremedy]

He’s the only guy I’ve heard that’s currently performing that sounds so much like BB besides Mayer. They’re both modern versions of the Kings. Mayer has got the SRV Clapton thing and Fletcher has got the Hendrix/BB King thing

[@Sullaban]

I am so impressed too. It is like wow!

[@forddriver8827]

SRV is a fair alternative.

[@istvandejesus]

A total BEAST of a player.

[@penfloyd]

If this doesn,t move your soul.......Then you simply don,t have One... Blues will never Die!

[@kenstrampe7609]

so nice to hear some good ole slow soulful blues again, thank you

[@Shavian1]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/foW6gZygrp53mbc :) Some slow blues for you.

[@LeighGhostTao]

You can feel a big warm personality coming through in these phrases, someone who's felt all the depths and heights of being human, and has a lot of kindness and empathy in their heart.

[@missmoke007thebestmusicvideos]

LeighGhostTao Yep, that would be Kirk. Love the guy!

[@haroldculhane4110]

You can tell they were raised right because his brothers and his family are all the same kind hearted ❤️. I found Kurt because I followed his brother CT Fletcher powerhouse of a weightlifting champion from way back and it just so happened Kurt was on one of the KZbin videos of CT so I figured I check it out because I also enjoy playing the guitar and the blues. I'm glad I did .God bless

[@ianrichardson3968]

Kirk is one of the best blues players out there, surprisingly many have never heard of him...their loss..

[@ianrichardson3968]

So has most things, it's how it's done.

[@craiger2399]

@@sgcl2276 so have houses, beer, and hamburgers. But we still want em and need em.

Love the sweet sound of those Lace Sensor pups. Love you style too and thanks to Don Lace, R.I.P.

[@NASHVEGE]

King of the SweetSpots No matter where he ends up.... Its always right

[@minicooper1568]

This is like some beautiful blend of BB KING,BUDDY GUY,STEVIE RAY AND I LOVE IT ALL,I WISH THIS GUY A LONG CAREER!

[@largeeng]

Kirk is the man, been lucky to see him play in some very intimate venues here in the UK and even spoke to him after the gig enjoying a drink at the bar. He is so humble and gracious, very generous with his time. He is forging a path up there with the greats of blues guitar

[@martinulstein9087]

I liked this guy from the first note. Super good. What a player.

[@JasonMckellMusic]

Thinking exactly the same..immediate ahhhhhh...

[@realgoodmind]

Whoever thumbs downs this video I would not be able to get along with. They don't understand the blues and probably like edm. Kirk is a master

[@realgoodmind]

@Gabrielle Wood booooo :)

[@Ubu987]

Kirk Fletcher can whisper with his strings as sweetly as he can make those steel wires wail, take it up, take it down, take it home, a singing, stinging, filigree of purest blues storytelling.

[@sixstringcity3931]

This man is well versed in his influences and has his own unique style & tone. Can tell he’s listened to Band of Gypsie once or twice.

[@pedrotavares8691]

Kirk is an amazing player and a sweet heart as a person...... The big stage is long overdue.....combination of so many styles.... so much soul and heart into it.

[@InterWebGuy99]

That's as pure as the blues can be played, bro. You got a new sub.

[@alrandall9931]

Every note played with such expression and control. Mission accomplished

[@janedvinsson]

Great! I am also very impressed how the drummer, Vince Fossett is " taking care of business ", difficult not to play too much, not being in the way, not loose push at the same time and with a great blues playing style and feel, perfect!

[@andresaraguz7664]

profesor Mr Kirk

[@dannyjonze]

Kirk is a real favourite, such an authentic player. Total quality

[@minicooper1568]

Well I'm just now hearing Kirk Fletcher for the first time,where have I been? Good stuff Kirk,welcome to the family. That really does my heart good to know the future of the blues is safe!

[@genem9725]

The Blues is king !

[@scrap8930]

As a guitarist myself, I have to admire the amazing tone and soul here 👌!!

[@FizzyBlueCoffea]

Same it sounds so amazing with how much he's putting his soul he puts into his playing

[@walterredaelli7507]

I agree..

[@pabloperez4063]

The only thing a blues player has to find is a great tone. The rest comes on its own. You can only play 5 notes in a solo... If the sound melts your heart

[@lez_ghozt]

As a BIPOC, I admire the guitar playing too

[@walterredaelli7507]

Kirk's tone and playing gives me uncontrolled shivers same as BB does... Linda, thanks again for sharing..

[@kipanshi]

Real good feeling, Mr. Kirk Fletcher

[@jed1mindtricks857]

Linda i wish i could go and see all these great players that you do! So jealous! Thanks for all these wonderull videos!

[@missmoke007thebestmusicvideos]

Randy D. Your welcome Randy, I’m glad to be able to share their wonderful talent with others 😊

[@mr.bonesbbq3288]

Very tasty chops, Brother! Been playin fer many decades, an can spot th Real Deal! :-) Lookin forward to more of yer music.

[@vicrattlehead8665]

Only recently found this dude... now my favorite modern blues player

[@noahtenshen]

Great camera work on a must see magical artist. Wonderful Human, Stellar Musician! Thanks for this Linda! You Rock as well!

[@azraelblick4117]

I love to here Fletch on a Strat.

[@NicolasFernandezSaralegui]

Best Kirk slow blues performance by far

[@DizzyKrissi]

I hear a lot of BB King here - nice touch and some unique vibes in his playing.

[@karmadave]

Those licks are classic BB King.

[@rrswitch48]

@TexasTornado187 yep!

[@jakobmorningstar]

Because this is BB’s “How Blue Can You Get”

[@mattgilbert7347]

@IT'SME Well, there is a Univibe....

[@michaelabt5609]

Kirk is such a versatile guitarplayer, doing his own thang but not shy of showing his influences - love that attitude !

[@SteveYates-uo4dq]

❤❤when I was learning I would listen to pirate radio and also radio stations that played early 1920-1930 blues and just practice all day long xxx

[@MrBlack-ze6hw]

I agree with hector2utube that Kirk's sound is heavy with B.B.King and some Freddie King influence. Now at 7:17 his second jam begins and reminds me of Robin Trower. Mr. Fletcher is cool in my book!

[@Hugh_Manitee]

What pedal is he using in the second song for the Trower sound? Univibe?

[@jordankilburn3758]

Dude I was just thinking that!! Do you know the name of the tune?

[@TheBEEFBOY]

Any of you guys know where i could find a backing track in that style and by who ? Absolutely insane

[@SrGustavoRodriguez]

definitely Trower Power vibes there !! fire!

[@Tolbiny]

@@TheBEEFBOY Here you go bro, even the same key, B flat :).... kzbin.info/www/bejne/i6fJdGCcfrGbd7s

[@stevenolsen3162]

And thank you for these...

[@sro3721]

Kirk is nothing short of amazing!

[@xsamitt]

Fender Man Approved!

[@rowenalong6143]

Kirk is one soulful being!! He sounds like BB king, Joe Bonamassa, Jimmy Hendricks, Chuck Berry,and more. But, he has a style of his own . Keep on keeping 💯 on!!!

[@MrMoopwns]

Jimi Hendrix, my friend

[@toddflowers8052]

Dude, you are on FIRE ! I love it ! Thank you Linda !

[@jeremythornton433]

This is pure!

[@digitalsketchguy]

Such a clean tone. He's not hiding behind anything because he's a blues master - he's been to the crossroads i bet.

[@bryanclarke1927]

Just sounds so cool.

[@dreambeliever3652]

That was something I had to hear twice. 👍

[@LeandroMartinsGuitar]

Kirk's timing is impressive! Awesome video!

[@alanderson9711]

Smooth playing, tasty licks and he makes all the faces that come with playing the blues, just right. (Old Chicago Blues Guy...) thanks for sharing this, makes ya feel good, video

[@1loStu]

And amazing Travis Carlton on the bass... One of the best young bass players today.

[@missmoke007thebestmusicvideos]

Travis is absolutely the BEST!!!!

This is so incredible

Wow, Kirk is amazing!

[@troymattingly3071]

The finish on his guitar is spectacular!

[@diceportz7107]

You just came up on my Spotify suggestions. Love your stuff! Great sound.

[@sdaudio2607]

Make that beauty sing brother...man u r great...and so is that smokin band in perrrfect counter point :0)

[@matthewhorizon6050]

In the first song, I'm pretty sure he was going directly to the amp (maybe a compressor) and it was crisp. Kirk is great for today. Hes got that old sound but hes incorporated and expanded on the style he expresses. And what a great touch -- understands the power of dynamics and building a solo. Solid stuff!

[@walterredaelli7507]

hello... I don't think he was using a compressor besides amp itself compression. just slight reverb. but surely you are right a damn cable straight to the amp.. 😉🖖🏻🎸

[@joemorrow8411]

Thank you Kirk🎸🎸🎼

[@hector2utube]

Besides the BB King style I also hear a bit of Freddie King with that sweet Texas sound...

[@bjrnerlendwalberg4384]

Thank you! Got that B.B going with tour own touch. Refreshing!

[@g.medina3717]

Damn Good Stuff! 👍🏼👏🏼

[@jonny52761]

I see the love,commitment and tears dropping off his guitar. Great musician.

[@bongo357]

absolutely killer

[@leandrolourenco7707]

Que som! O blues Vive! Obrigado por isso!

[@justinvernal]

Fletcher=class act👌🇺🇸

[@victorromero4748]

Nice tune, well done. Keep making videos,sounds good!

[@jrenner325]

Obviously Kirk is killer, but that drummer has awesome dynamics. Loved his feel during the beginning of the solo, so quiet, so full of restraint. It’s drummers like him that make it easy for us guitar players.

[@stevenmccarthy112]

This is the real deal.....as blue as blue can get....can't get enough of this!

[@leighsayers2628]

Fabulous ..love it ..

Well that’s just the dog’s what’s its isn’t it. Great tasteful playing and fab vocals. I’ll be spending hours just trying to steal some of those licks to put into my playing. Fabulous/

Kirk is a favorite. No fake soul. The real thing.

12 minutes of heaven.

[@garytonkinson5413]

Loving it 🔥

[@hesch-tag]

Very nice, finally a player who doesn't sound like SRV.

[@AKICITA]

It's that AUTHENTIC "Old School" Blues sound that Kirk brings from his very Soul!

[@ryanlamb8118]

Loving this guy’s sound. Very moving. Though, I truly wold like to hear someone who sounds like SRV. Please do share.

[@hesch-tag]

@@ryanlamb8118 Well Philip Sayce and Kenny Wayne Shepherd. Well their guitar tone and a lot of licks are very similar

[@indyvin]

No, he sounds like BB King.

[@reecelincoln]

I love the sign behind the band that says “absolutely no video recording “ lol! Some things are so good it would be a crime to not record. This being one!

[@amguit]

Wait for it... wait for it... wait for it... 🔥 🔥 🔥

[@1101964]

So good to hear a blues played like it should. Kirk and guy king are my favourite players by far .

[@patrickromero5365]

Awesome playing from DENVER COLORADO nice licks you need to be on a big stage you would kill it.

[@image30p]

Holy smokes! That's some blues. I don't think I've ever heard anything like this before. That second tune. There's a little Hendrix in there and a lot more.

[@Tonic.Fusion]

And some BB King too, actually a lot of. I love IT. I too play blues at my guitar 🥰

[@pantelisloukopoulos7206]

The guitar sound is perfect.

[@leighsayers2628]

Kirk is awesome ..beautiful man .

[@francescorizzi361]

Bellissimo !!!!! Emozionante....

You know how to play it! B would be proud!

[@lucassmith1319]

Less than half way through the video!! Bro, you are awesome!! Great title for this video man you are the truth!! GREAT PERFORMANCE!!

[@teegotgunz76]

I got to see him jam with his older Big Walt. I wish we had camera phones back then. They both showed out. And they can funk too.

Bravíssimo, coisa fina.
