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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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! 🙏
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!
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.
What a great teacher, i started learning at 35 in 1994,, it was complicated and i gave up.. still got all them guitars and watching this is a real inspiration. . yeh larry carlton room 335 a great teacher........ steve in Australia.
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!
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
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.. 👍
Kirk, You are an absolute gem. Your teaching style is what I've been looking for after years of noodling my way around the Internet looking for courses or some other magic bullet so I can learn at a pace that keeps me engaged and wanting more. You're giving so much knowledge away and putting so much love into the guitar community.. we just can't thank you enough for your kindness. I only wish I would have found you years ago! ♥♥♥
This is how music stays alive, by passing on the lessons you've learned just as these things were shared with you by players you've come to know. There's never been a better time than today with technology enabling the ability to reach so many people and there's never been better teachers than those like yourself who care enough about the music to want to take the time to share not just the mechanics of music making but the joy of how music enriches and gives meaning to life. Just saying thank you seems like not enough, but it will have to do until something better comes along. Thank you.
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!:)
This video just highlights the need to know theory. It makes riff writing and song writing so much easier when you know what will fit in any given situation. When I started playing 30 years ago, I had no idea what keys were or what chords fit where. It was pretty embarrassing when other guitarists would call out a key and I'd have to have them tell me what chords to play. I took lessons and theory really opened up the fret board for me.
My brother this is the first time for me on your page I found you on Brett looking forward to spending a lot of time with you thank you for all your input have a fantastic day
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 👍✌️
What a special man you are Kirk,Thank you so much❤
what a great player great person!! Kirk is gold . THANK YOU Kirk!!!
Representing the best of humanity. Thank you Kirk Fletcher!
Kirk, wanted to say, get well soon and God bless. We all need you, the world needs as many like you as we can get.
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.

did you not notice the ads?
@@vkl47 yeah that $12.49 he gets every month from ad revenue is the drive that keeps him going
@@MrMd5555 time is money b****
@@MrMd5555 He needs his coffee money.
@marv shinkleman you are speaking the truth
What a lovely man ..awesome personality and so fun ..
My dude...you are rad. No ego, no BS...just great feel and sound.
You Sir are a True Inspiring Person to anyone who has ever touched a guitar.
Kirk is one amazingly talented, humble, generous, beautiful human beings. Thank you so much sir. You inspire us to keep great music going.
We met at Jim's guitar shop in Torrance and talked about Bill Doggett! Good to see ya man! Maybe we'll jam sometime. "Honky Tonk".
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
Who would pay to see Kirk and Jubu just sitting around noodling together?
I play blues, soul and reggae 99% of the time and it's amazing how much theory a person can know without realizing they know it.
Thank you for being a light Kirk ! The 'Gentle Giant'. You are a difference maker.
Thanks for a great lesson. Every time Kirk says 'you know' he gets this great infectious smile. This man sending good vibes.
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.
A beautiful soul. Thanks Kirk.
thanku for inspiring us sir. You are my favorite blues player🙏🙏🙏
I've been playing for 30 years and this was a great lesson. Thank You.
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
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.
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.
I love the way you teach and the underlying joy and love of music that is so evident❤😊
Love those double stop licks in the beginning --using the C chord in different places ---now I,m learning !Thankyou!
I used to watch Kirk Fletcher at Cafe Boogaloo in Hermosa Beach. What a great lesson, thanks!
Only recently discovered this guy and must say he always puts a smile on my face. His playing at norms rare guitars are awesome
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.

I am really glad I found you, sir. Love how you communicate the guitar.
Miss you sooo much ! You have always been my favorite 💓! This is very exciting and fantastic! Mahalo!!!!!
Every time I see you I begin to smile. Thank you for share your blues with us. Lern so many from your playing and lessons. Love your music. Stay save.
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.
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!
Thanks! The best lesson I have on a style of playing that has eluded me but really speaks to inner groove 😊
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! 🙏
One million thanks! For your music, love in what you do, and your good energy.
Your brother taught me all I know about weight lifting. I’m glad I can continue to better my crafts in the same bloodline.
Thank you for sharing these musically beautiful sounding pointers 👍🏽👍🏼❗
All the best guitar players I know are happy people. This guy is no exception.
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!

Thanks man, I could watch your fingers float across the fretboard all dang day.
If they had been playing music like that in my church I would still be going.
Wow Kirk Fletcher, your style of play is so smooth and clean. Thank you so much.
Thank you sir! I am absolutely obsessed with your playing dude.. so inspiring
hey brother fletcher, amazing! thank you!!!!
THANK YOU SIR… SO GOOD!
YOU TEACH US TO UNDERSTAND COGNITIVELY
WITH OUR MIND…. BUT YOUR PLAYING GETS US TO FEEL HOW TO PLAY… JUST AWESOME! 🎸🎶
This should be your next Truefire course. Major and Minor blues and funk with double stops. I'm buying!
You’re an excellent teacher! Thank you.
That little bit at 4:01 is basically "Peace Train" by Cat Stevens. Awesome video Kirk. Thank you.
Best lesson I’ve seen on n a while. Thank you so much for teaching us.
What a great teacher, i started learning at 35 in 1994,, it was complicated and i gave up.. still got all them guitars and watching this is a real inspiration. . yeh larry carlton room 335 a great teacher........ steve in Australia.

Kirk, you are a Saint. Thanks for all you do for the community and sharing licks and ideas. It's greatly appreciated.
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
You and that 335 belong together. Super clean chords. Thanks.
Hi Kirk, I love your playing man. I first saw you on Brett Papa's channel. Let's go Kirk.
Your lessons are real gems! Thank you, brother!
This is the perfect lesson for me. Instantly picking this up and sounds great. There's a whole world here. Thanks, Kirk!
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!

Thanks Kirk for sharing your talents. Your awesome brother!!!!
Pretty amazing the way you break it down for us lesser folks, ‘appreciate you.
Hi kirk, thanks you...Thank you for this lesson. I love your way of playing and learning.. it's cool 👍🙏🎸
Thanks, Kirk. Good stuff.
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
What a great player and teacher as well! Kirk, you not only give us the knowledge, you also inspires us! Thx a lot
Whish i had this lesson when being 15, now in 51 i still love this. Thank you so much.

You’re a great teacher and a incredible player. It’s a real joy listening to you play.
I love how he likes what he’s hearing. Love your calm voice.
Message was for the real Kirk

one of the goats with a heart of gold Mr.Kirk Fletcher!!
That's so useful, Mr. Fletcher. That its really the fills and triads that flesh out the song and give it character.
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!:)
Thanks man, I needed this today. Felt like I was sitting with a friend.
KIRK, YOU ARE SO KOOL...LOVE YOUR VIBE & HOW YOU COME ACROSS ON YOUR LESSONS & INSIGHTS...THANX FOR SHARING SIR!!! CARRY ON KIRK, CARRY ON!!! ✌❤
Why do you all make it look so easy. Thanks! 😁😁
Kirk . Such a nice lesson. I started the same way. But never got into triads. Double stops. Love the sliding 6th thanks always
This video just highlights the need to know theory. It makes riff writing and song writing so much easier when you know what will fit in any given situation.

This is the best kind of lesson because it makes you want to play! Mission accomplished.
Kirk you’re such an inspiration. Following your style from 🇨🇦
Beautiful, and silky smooth! Sounds great as always, Kirk! Great lesson too. Thank you very much! 🙏 🙌

Love your music man, but how lucky am I to find this gem of a lesson.
