I'm kinda blown away that you're giving this away and not asking for anything in return. I just learned more in about 5 mins. than I have in a long time. Thank you for your time and generosity. It's also cool to see how much depth is behind your playing; that's good to know for anyone who plays guitar because we're all still learning. Peace.
Like watching Bob Ross paint! I am truly mesmerized and fascinated by watching you play the guitar and talk about bar chords and double stops. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Great lesson, but what really caught my attention was the way you speak. Gently with a big smile and shining eyes. We need more of that kindness in the world.
Your magic is that you live and breath the guitar. The little riffs just come so naturally. But I love hearing you talk through this, it really is inspirational. Thanks Kirk.
Massive thank you Kirk. As a 54 year old guy returning to guitar (electric) for the first time since 1992, your video has opened a very big door for me.
usually im a hidden person around all this music channels and professional commentators. but you, you have the blues. thank u so much for sharing such a beautiful knowledge. rock on!
Every now and again, God gets it so right. So so perfectly right. You literally vaporise any angst and frustration I have from a shitty day etc, just by playing and talking to us.
Thanks. I'm a blues dad learning a new hobby that won't send me to the doctor, so lessons like this go a long way. Your joyful personality makes it all that better.
One of the most easy going, likeable people on here with immense talent. If I can end up with just an ounce of what he has I will be delighted. Great lesson Kirk.
This is an awakening to me. I got more out of 5 min of your vid than from 2 years of experimenting. The way you explain it created that link I was missing to understand blending chords within finger picking. Thanks!
Thank you Kirk for not only being an incredible musician but also for being an incredible human being. I found you through Joe Bonamassa and I’m so thankful that I did! 🙏
Years ago I used to jam with a Kirk Fletcher jam track. Later I heard that same jam on the intro to the Larry Elder show. It validated my love for both these guys! I'm pretty sure they're friends.
Hey Kirk, thank you for this excellent bit of guitar wisdom. I could listen to you talk about this stuff all day - your warmth and humanity comes through and makes learning such a pleasure.
As a kid, I took guitar lessons from an accordion player. Those early music books had a lot of bass runs included in the “Old Suzanna” kind of songs. I didn’t really take to it at the time. Looking back, I did myself a great disservice. Once you hear them, you hear the snare. Then you hear the chords and melody line. Finally, the licks. By salivating over the flashy licks, I stunted my progress by years. At this old age, I’m obsessed by the connective tissues. So much so that I now listen to accordion players and watch their left (bass) hand. Life has a way of coming around full circle. Those bass hooks are magical. Thanks for a wonderful lesson Kirk.
KIRK, YES, OH YES!!! Dude, seriously man, awesome help right here, soooo many light bulbs went off with you explaining this stuff, so cool man, THANK YOU BIG TIME from a guy in Ohio!
PAY DIRT! The eagle just landed, Kirk! I've watched and learned some things in this realm from the great Cornell's site(s) and others....BUT...Something about your relaxed delivery and the way you just gradually built so much on seemingly so little - REALLY clicked for me! It's kept this old dabbler up past bedtime, but for a good reason! GREAT lesson, Bro! Thank you! Just subscribed.. 👍
Hey Kirk, I'm in Lakewood 72 and Swingin that Blues bro. I love jump and Swing. Been playing as an opener Bassists for a while. Guitar is really my main axe : ) Love your stuff Oldschool, less is more Peace Lakewood

The nicest smile I've ever seen & greatest and simplest tutorial on youtube! Thank you sir and I love the 66 Gibson and interestingly enough, there were 66 comments & I was also born in 66 before I responded!:)
You Sir are speaking the language of music.. I subbed immiedatly.. Also there is something very comforting about the Way you explain it.. Like you’re also saying dont worry, you’ll get it just keep playing.. So thank you for this lesson.. I Can’t wait to get home to my guitar now 👍✌️

I am really glad I found you, sir. Love how you communicate the guitar.
I've been playing for 30 years and this was a great lesson. Thank You.
Great lesson, but what really caught my attention was the way you speak. Gently with a big smile and shining eyes. We need more of that kindness in the world.
You’re an excellent teacher! Thank you.
I used to watch Kirk Fletcher at Cafe Boogaloo in Hermosa Beach. What a great lesson, thanks!
thanku for inspiring us sir. You are my favorite blues player🙏🙏🙏
Your magic is that you live and breath the guitar. The little riffs just come so naturally. But I love hearing you talk through this, it really is inspirational. Thanks Kirk.
Thanks for a great lesson. Every time Kirk says 'you know' he gets this great infectious smile. This man sending good vibes.
Only recently discovered this guy and must say he always puts a smile on my face. His playing at norms rare guitars are awesome
Best lesson I’ve seen on n a while. Thank you so much for teaching us.
Love those double stop licks in the beginning --using the C chord in different places ---now I,m learning !Thankyou!
His free playing matches perfectly with the quick reflection (captured in the moment) from a whiskey glass.
We started as a thrash metal heavy metal band but his playing captivates us
Massive thank you Kirk. As a 54 year old guy returning to guitar (electric) for the first time since 1992, your video has opened a very big door for me.
I love the way you teach and the underlying joy and love of music that is so evident❤😊
Thank you for sharing these musically beautiful sounding pointers 👍🏽👍🏼❗
usually im a hidden person around all this music channels and professional commentators. but you, you have the blues. thank u so much for sharing such a beautiful knowledge. rock on!

Thank you sir! I am absolutely obsessed with your playing dude.. so inspiring
Every now and again, God gets it so right. So so perfectly right. You literally vaporise any angst and frustration I have from a shitty day etc, just by playing and talking to us.
I get that, Kirk is such a sweet person, I met I'm at Normans Rare Guitars and he was soooo kind and humble
I believe his name is Kirk
What a beautiful comment
Thanks! The best lesson I have on a style of playing that has eluded me but really speaks to inner groove 😊
Thanks. I'm a blues dad learning a new hobby that won't send me to the doctor, so lessons like this go a long way. Your joyful personality makes it all that better.
Miss you sooo much ! You have always been my favorite 💓! This is very exciting and fantastic! Mahalo!!!!!

You and that 335 belong together. Super clean chords. Thanks.

One million thanks! For your music, love in what you do, and your good energy.
All the best guitar players I know are happy people. This guy is no exception.

Pretty amazing the way you break it down for us lesser folks, ‘appreciate you.
That little bit at 4:01 is basically "Peace Train" by Cat Stevens. Awesome video Kirk. Thank you.
Wow Kirk Fletcher, your style of play is so smooth and clean. Thank you so much.
Your lessons are real gems! Thank you, brother!
Your brother taught me all I know about weight lifting. I’m glad I can continue to better my crafts in the same bloodline.
Kirk, you are a Saint. Thanks for all you do for the community and sharing licks and ideas. It's greatly appreciated.
This is the perfect lesson for me. Instantly picking this up and sounds great. There's a whole world here. Thanks, Kirk!

Those little walking up bits of spice you give the bar chords when you were talking about the use in RNB were super nice.
Thanks for the video
