- Blues musician Kirk Fletcher talks today about the dying art of accompaniment behind a soloist or singer. Kirk breaks down his philosophies on "Egoless" accompaniment and support. He talks about elevating the music with the use of dynamics and space. @gibsonguitar #egoless #space #elevating
hell yeah Kirk love you, and have for years
yu are right about serving the song with no jealousy
There was a house guitar player at Antones in Austin back around 1990 that could steal the show just playing rhythm. Guy never failed to blow my mind
Thanks for dishing out that Jedi knowledge Kirk. “Egoless Rhythm”
Man, I love the way you talk to the camera. I feel like I'm right in the room with you and you're talking just to me. You've got that magical ability to feel the audience. I've just been playing for 5 years but I'm starting to get a much greater appreciation for EVERYTHING that goes into making music... when it all comes together it almost sounds spiritual.
Ha! New truss rod cover on your goldtop, lost the cover on my 73 in the early 80s & just replaced it a couple years ago. Man, your the premier blues rhythm player on the planet, not to mention your tasty solos
this guy a Rare Man
Grande chitarrista 🙋🏻♂️👌
Thank you! Definitely becoming a lost art with some. Many musicians don’t “get” this at all. This concept and dynamics.
Just perfect time feel... 😍😍 as always
Kirk's videos are having a big motivational impact on me. I'm far from being a great player and probably never will be BUT each time I watch Kirk I feel an improvement coming on. A great personality with massive skills, can't thank him enough for taking the time.
Incredible advice
Another fantastic video Kirk. I look forward to each one and appreciate you putting these up for us. Have a great week
Ditto! The guy is infectious (in the best ways) musically as well as kindness and generosity. I’d say “the blues” works!
Ditto ditto! Thanks Kirk.
thanks for all your vids!
I’m glad I stumbled upon you Kirk, I’m trying my best to be a better rhythm guitar player and you’re words are definitely sinking in. Thanks so much🙏🏽
Great video Kirk!
Hey,Kirk! It's always good to see You
Hey Kirk, your videos paint me always a smile on my face. For me, you are one of the greatest blues artists alive. You have such a kind art to share your wisdom with us. Be blessed, man!
Elder Anthony Williams here you still make me cry when you play lol so proud of you
Suena increíble esa guitarra, eres un gran guitarrista Kirk ✌🏻🔥
Awesome. Thank you Kirk. I love the way you play!
Thank you Kirk.
Fletcherさん ありがとう(*ˊᵕˋ*) ゴールドトップは とても格好よいですね
This is 24 karat gold! Thank you, Kirk.
I get happy when I see Mr Fletcher has a new video.
Subscribed IMMEDIATELY......You're a lost treasure! THANK YOU for comng on the tube!
Хороший человек
Words of great wisdom here-thank you! I still remember reading an interview with Jeff Baxter over forty years ago in which he lauded his fellow Doobie Pat Simmons for his perfect egoless accompaniment. Baxter said he was never aware of what Simmons was playing unless Simmons stopped playing. I’ve tried to incorporate that idea into my own rhythm work ever since.
11:34 "You got a smile so bright, you know you could have been a candle
I'm holding you so tight, you know you could have been a handle
The way you swept me off my feet, you know you could have been a broom"
Just that little rhythm lick sent me back to my childhood!
Hello man... I am still scratching my back and trying to get a variation of the country blues shuffle in A you showed us some weeks ago... Besides, I am with Muddy Waters catfish blues too... Thanks for all... Hope your summer is going good, and you are enjoying your gigs... Cheers...
Wise words and tastful playing 👍
Man I stumbled on you from another guy I watch.. loved your playing style, it's really helping me
I’m really appreciative of your videos
G blues comp for breakfast....swing it dude!
You always have something to say, both on guitar and when talking, thats interesting to listen to 😊
genio!!!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
And this is why I subscribed. Thank u sir. Thank u. Any chance u could do a walk around some Albert king style stuff?
This is kinda left field but watching Kirk Fletcher play and listening to his blues has improved my jazz playing so much.
My guy! 🙏❤️✌️ Yeah if you can't appreciate great rhythm playing, how can you truly love the Blues, considering half of it if composed of great rhythm playing!? 😅
And, how can you even tell if a solo is great or not, unless it's played in time with great rhythm playing?
We could go on, and on, and on. lol
Great havin you back on a regular basis man, be well!
Great stuff. I really want to get better at playing rhythm.
素晴らしい☺私もブルースが好き(⋈◍＞◡＜◍)。✧♡
in game theoretical terms, sonic bandwidth is zero sum, but musicality is like the most positive sum thing i know exists =)
the Red Bull Music Academy (?!) had an interview with Brian Eno a few years ago, and first of all the interviewer is *SO* good, I can't find her name to properly credit but she was so well prepared and really understood this concept of egoless support in a very deep sense... but anyway one of the subjects they discuss is his experience as a secular person in a church choir, and devotional music in general and it really made something click for me, why despite having no affinity for the subject matter i often find that music so compelling, and it's *exactly* this!
i'm also enjoying the recent renaissance in egoless funk too, vulfpeck and more recently scary pockets' various projects seem to be very well received because they emphasize arrangements with sparse, complementary parts so well.
now if only jam sessions were like this ;-)

I was wondering what amp do you use there?
Fender super reverb
