I've watched this video about 100 times. Whenever I need a little R&B inspiration, this is what I use.
Awesome!
Mr Fletchers phrasing is smooth as melted butter!! Seems like such a humble guy!! Could listen to him play all day!
Haha! For sure!
WORD
I've noticed that all the great guitarist play rhythm and lead equally as well. The big difference I think between them and most of us is that they are able to improvise with the basic concepts whether its lead or rhythm(which includes playing sounds they hear in their head while playing). That's the true skill but it takes practice. Good to see how Kirk approaches it.
Thanks so much yes absolutely look at a guy like Eddie Van Halen 🔥🔥🔥
And the really successful ones sing extremely well with their playing.
BB King? Albert King?
To Aadityakiran: BB King does not sing and play at the same time, and he says so. While the singing is the heart of his story-telling blues style, he admits he's not good at both simultaneously, so he does a claasic call-and-response thing.
Nobody mixed the two - rhythm and lead- like Hendrix, though. That Band of Gypsies stuff is unreal. AND he sang!
Very happy to see Kirk Fletcher teaching rhythm guitar. For those unaware, Kirk is for sure one of the best rhythm and lead rhythm guitar players alive right now. Rhythm guitar is so important but underrated and Kirk shows us just how good and fun rhythm guitar can be! Not only that but he is an awesome improviser and all around bluesman. If anyone wants to learn more about his playing, Kirk has a book out that shows some of these ideas and more. THanks for bringing him back, Brett.
Sure thing man! We got some great stuff planned with Kirk coming soon!
Thank you so much for your kind words Andre 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
@@BrettPapa I love him
@@kirkfletcher2845 🤯 the GOAT himself.
@@kirkfletcher2845 You and Josh sitting on the couch with those hollowbodies @ Norms still inspires and boggles the mind. Finally got that piece down from guitar player awhile back with all those groovy chord inversions. You da man Kirk!
Best thing thats helped me improvise is pick two chords and play back and forth with them giving a good backbone structure to where you can either just play the chord, or play a variation of embelishments/hammer ons & pull offs of said chords, then you can play blues licks in between as long as you still land the bass line notes on time, like with little wing he lays down the foundation with a bass note pattern then adds more variety to and finesse to each one to where he can even stray from the chord and throw licks that correspond to that chord of course, but you dont have to be stuck holding the shape you can easily go down a whole octave for BB king effect real quick then still land your next chord change on time. I can post a for short for dummies example of this if anyone is interested, theres 2 chords shapes i find make it so much easier starting out compared to some chords shapes and the resolution the change makes between them. I far from understand it all im still figuring it out but maybe can help someone trying to get started
Kirk is one of the best Blues players in the world. His feeling, timing and phrasing is second to none.
Even though he has awesome technical skills, Kirk doesn't show-off, he always plays with FEELING and some of the best touch-tone-taste of any guitar player I've ever heard.
Wow I feel like just watching the way he plays these shapes that I already knew unlocked something that broke me out of the box I had been playing in. What an incredible rhythmic and melodic talent Kirk has. Thanks for sharing!!
That is awesome to hear! Thanks for tuning in!
That sounded awesome.... ☺️
Thanks for checking it out!
Beautiful!!!!!!!!!! One love deep divers keep the vibes high and remember to do something today that you can thank yourself for tomorrow!!!!
Thanks for watching!
1st time that I'm hearing Kirk... he's got a great sound. I definitely hear that Hendrix influence, but he's also added a little Jazz flavor to it... sounds really nice. And... what a great guy to take the time to break all this down for us.
He is awesome! Thanks for checking out the vid!
Great man
He plays so beautifully and it just sounds like him. So many try this type of thing and just sound like a Hendrix knock off. He just sounds musical and soulful.
Agreed
Definitely would love to see Kirk back, class act is an understatement….amazing guitar player to say the least….his live performances are hypnotic ….👍🏻💪🏻🎸
He will be back soon!
This is a such a beautiful thing to see and hear two brothers trade licks and back each other up, compliment each other, and just play! Sounds great guys Brett and Kirt. You brothers be blessed and safe.
Thanks Anthony! Much more with Kirk coming soon!
What is really cool is that Kirk Really listens to what Bret is asking and sharing before responding...even takes time to digest it on the fretboard instead of just showing "his way". He is not just a great teacher and sharer...he is a learner "on the fly". I always tell new students that I will also be learning from them. Great video.
Thanks Jim. Kirk is the man! Great all around!
They need to study my uncle Wah Wah Watson on that rhythm guitar!!! He was the got!! RIP Melvin Ragin aka Wah Wah Watson! Mr Papa Was A Rolling Stone!!!!!! Miss you Unc!!!!!!
It only took me a few seconds to love the sound here.
Two guitars played by two good musicians sounds like there's nothing missing. There's melody, harmony, rhythm, and groove all stated fully. You could add bass, drums, and vocals, but that's all just icing on a cake that's already tasty.
That would be awesome!
Thank you for stopping him and having him show things slowly… great video!!
Thanks for checking it out!
Glad to see Kirk Fletcher back, he is a killer, down to earth player!
Kirk is one of the coolest, smoothest players known to mankind. Excellent stuff.
For sure! Thanks for watching!
Thanks so much 🙏🏾🙏🏾
fantastic lesson, thanks for introducing me to Kirk Fletcher!
Sure thing!
Mr Fletcher has some of the most efficient and economical playing I've ever seen. Plays his chords where the leads are. No running all over the neck = smart. Thx Brett
What a wonderful player and teacher!
Yep he is awesome!
Kirk's incredible personal energy just shines through in his playing. So comfortable and right. Quietly confident, laid back and owning the space all at the same time, but in no hurry. Great stuff.
Couldn't agree more!
Spot on!
Those are two sweet guitars that are singing beautifully!
And playing the simplest things and making them sound sweet is a REAL talent!!
Thanks for checking it out!
Thanks so much 🙏🏾
Kirk Fletcher is a great guitarist. He rarely explains what he's doing, so it's not easy to learn from him (in my opinion). Having someone ask him how he's playing his riffs, is golden.
Thanks for checking it out Jay!
Rainy Night in Georgia always puts me in that zone...love playing that tune..Tony Joe White. Also Al Greens guitarist...Teeny (something) Kirk is a treasure of R&B chops and gospel feels....he's a fully grown blues cat...learned the whole journey. My favorite roots blues player ...he should have a million followers on youtube so subscribe to his channel!
Mabon "Teenie" Hodges, y'all.
@@professorhamamoto Thank you...just completely blanked on that one..Al himself played an Ovation I believe on that haunting acoustic ballad Simply Beautiful..my old cover band decades ago played Love and Happiness to open most shows...love that lick and when he stomps on the orange crate to count it in. My idea of a good time.
I corrected it...meant Rainy Night in Georgia...although the other tune is great as well.
Just thinking of rainy nights in Georgia
Kirk is such a monster player and an incredibly gentle and kind spirit. Thanks for this Brett and Kirk!
Agreed! Thanks for tuning in!
Great. You really hear that as well on Bobby Wommacks guitar part on "I'm In Love" with Wilson PIckett, it's all over that tune.
Dude I can totally relate to this guy. he makes it pop" keep bringing him back!" There's a lot more being covered than most people would notice ✌😎
Wow, Kirk's style and touch is so nice.
One of my favorite living guitarists on the planet, and his humbleness, considering his talent, is jaw dropping and inspiring. Really enjoyed this!
Glad you liked it!
This is exactly how I want to end up playing. Tasteful, Confident, and Reserved, but leaving no doubt to the listener that there's much more up my sleeve.
Yep for sure!
What a massive talent!!! He's a natural genius, so relaxed and generous with this music. Brett, don't let this man get too famous that he doesn't have time for exactly what he's doing here. This will keep me coming back again and again.
He is coming back soon for a bunch more stuff!
What a beautiful treat. Thank you both! Kirk Fletcher is a gift to the guitar -- and this video, is a gift to us all. Peace, love, and double stops...and staying awake on rhythm! So awesome.
Everybody should be able to spend time with Kirk Fletcher, not only for his guitar wisdom, but also for the kindness vibe.
Agreed!
I loved watching a musician play and in the moment you will see a smile come across their face and you see them light up it's like they searching for the the right piece of the puzzle and suddenly they find it and that smile us evidence
Kirk is amazing to watch. Always surprises me!
Bad Ass playing Kirk..." now in time " just killin it bro !! Thanks Brett for these great vids of the Nashville cats and others man, bravo sir !
Sure thing! Thanks for tuning in!

Man, Kirk is just the best. Such amazing tasteful playing and obviously a kind, humble man. I could watch and learn all day.
For sure! Thanks for watching!
Keep these up with him, I have learned a lot from you guys. Your chemistry is really good. Kirk is laid back and practical. Thanks

Hi Kirk. You really got the chops dude ! Sounds great.
Nice, loved that.
Yes!! Been waiting for this since the last one - love the lessons where you just go with the flow!
Thank you.. this was right on time for me. Almost shed a tear as i was finally making the music i wanted to hear. Awesome session man!
That's awesome! Glad you liked it!
Got the email and came straight here. Thanks Brett for all you do. Love this lesson and love your playing as well.
Awesome! Thanks for stopping by!
I love Kirk!
This is the stuff right here 🔥 Thank you both for being two of the best teachers out there.
Thank you, thank you Brett & Kirk!! Having Kirk return to bookend the previously amazing lesson with this even more amazing lesson was a true gift and made my week!
Awesome! Glad you liked it!
I just love how a real pro guitarist breakes the rules and you might not notice unless you're counting, in which case you ain't listening, if you listening and counting you'll get confused because the timming is based on feel rather than counting. Rather learn to play play by the feel of the piece , which does not mean that you don't count but you learn to count loosely rather than strictrly metronome style. This type of counting is as big an art as counting strictly with a metronome. Counting ''loosely'' does not mean you don't keep count but keep time by feel rather than by count. This is likley the harderst tihng to learn.
This is GOLD
Awesome video! Great stuff!
One of the greatest of our generation...
Yep! Agreed. Awesome human as well!
Thank you so much
Great Jam guts...has that beautiful Peter Green vibe.. Excellent Kirk
