- Blues musician Kirk Fletcher gives a mini lesson on string bending, vibrato and phrasing.
Kirk talks about string bending control. He also gives some of his musical Philosophies on the subject of blues phrasing. @PRS Guitars
Dude I wish you were my guitar teacher. I’m 24 and fell in love with the blues a year ago. I’ve been teaching myself how to play
Mr Fletcher, you are the best ‘modern’ blues guitarist. Full stop 👍🏻😎
Such buttery smooth playing
Loved this video ! Every bend was in perfect pitch ! Nothing worse than bending out of tune , nothing better than bending in tune ! Bending and vibrato are the elements that make a guitar have that human voice , gets you in the gut and the heart ! It is what makes Blues the Blues !
Smooth as cream in coffee. Smooth to soothe.
“Melody is king” 👍👍🤘🤘
Kirk , there's this old saying... " If you can't sing it, it ain't worth playin" . Great video Kirk . Thank You.
Quarter and half note bends are so flavorful. And add a feel that can't be had in any other dynamic IMHO.
Great stuff man! TASTY😎
Thanks to you!👍😎❤
Very beautiful bends, The Teacher I was looking for
Such unparalleled touch and feel. Hoping to catch Mr. Fletcher in concert some day.
Great advice. Authority and authenticity, honesty, they're all the same thing.
Great advice! Thanks for all your great lessons. 🎸
Beautiful, thanks for sharing 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🙏🏽
Such a nice, talented, person.
Excellent video. Thanks Kirk.
That's the stuff that makes a grown man want to tear up my friend. Emotion transmitted through music. You are a gifted individual. I appreciate your simplified lessons. I have learned a lot from you.
I can listen to a song and figure out licks now it’s so amazing man
Love your playing
Kirk, you let the guitar sing and it touches my soul!
Your the man 👍
Beautiful. Those wilder bends and vibrato that you threw in on the intro reminded me of Danny Kirwan’s playing, like on Black Magic Woman and Jigsaw Puzzle blues.
You look so relaxed when doing it as well. A master for sure.
Thanks Kirk!
You are totally right, i think that i need to ditch the really heavy strings for a lighter gauge and play softer with more feel and less painful bends. i really enjoy watching you play. thanks
I'm going the same route. Got an SG wearing 11s, think I'm gonna try 8s.
This was just too easy for you. Thank you. I'm going to rewatch this view a few times.
Every video is a master class from a maestro of blues guitar. 🙏🏻
Sage advice. Thanks Kirk. Butterfingers and sugar ears.
hello Great of your lessons❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
You give us all something to aim for, Kirk! We may not get all the way there but it's the journey which counts!
As Frank Zappa so beautifully said, "You gotta put eyebrows on it!" 😷👍
Oh Kirk, I love the change in dynamic between the delicate, “big” soulful sound and the overtly angry, heavy picking that you just did though! It sounded so good, especially changing up after just a couple of bars, and back again.
I know it was a demonstration of why you prefer example ‘A’, but they went together like corona and lime. Or sour cream and salsa. Or...
love the message!
Good Saturday morning, sir! That tone! Man... tickle away! 😂
So, yesterday I bought a fender vintera 50's strat in sonic blue... on a wall full of guitars it spoke to me. Right after that... I learned how to count! Hahaha! I found out I was counting 12bar incorrectly with 1,2 and 3,4 instead of 1& 3 and 2 & 4. Changed my whole world!
Thank you so much for taking time out of your day to share the love, knowledge& skill of playing the blues. ✌❤🎸
Like your vibe! Well done!
The lesson I was looking for
Exactly what I needed to hear
Beautiful
When Jesus handed out charisma, Kirk Fletcher stood in line twice!
Thank you Kirk
very helpful for my playing this ...thanks kirk as always!! keep the videos coming pls.
That was GREAT. Thank you for sharing that. Definitely given me food for thought and stuff to work on. Really appreciate your videos Mr Fletcher.
Thanks for sharing this. Bending is amazing. It takes time, but it's a bit different from sliding. I like both. And I am learning both. More options.
Love it!
Thank you!!
Thanks for your insights, working on it and learning to let her sing :) peace
As Nikola Tesla said, "... Energy, Frequency, and Vibration." ... kinda covers it, and the soul speaks 🎸🎶💗
An intro worth it's weight in gold :D
Cool cat, and super bluesman!
hello kirk, can you already say when you will next play in Germany / Guitarpoint? me and my daughter are very much waiting for it best regards
I’ve been playing guitar for a year and your videos are very insightful
Couldn't agree more. Now back to work on my vibrato!
Yeah......Thanks....muchly.....
Real Alberta Collins touch, beauty
definitely found the good side of yt guitar tutorials
Ahhhh the sweet sound of easy pickin!!!!!
That’s Bloomfield legacy....very good points Kirk.
tank You
Smooth and soulful. A little info on the PRS please. God bless
Hi Kirk, really enjoying the lessons lately. I wondered if you could say what kind of action you play with on your prs?
🙏🙏🙏🎸🎶🤘
Great lesson as usual ty. Can u do a video on pedals and your thoughts on them?
Thats a really nice Axe Kirk- Can you give us some info on it please?
Thank you for the beautiful music. You really make the guitar sing. It's inspiring and educational to hear you play and then get your thoughts on it too. I know this is quite a nerdy question but what strings do you use for this kind of playing that is rich in bending? I mostly play jazz and brazilian but I'm getting into blues more and the 12s and 11s I use are a bit difficult to bend. Just wondering if I should go to 10s or 9s or if it's just a matter of getting used to it/getting stronger. Again thanks - I really enjoy your videos!
hi kirk, do you have some specific exercises for bending vibratos? i am quite struggling with that, i wish i could’ve learned that earlier
I notice a wee bit more width on the vibrato with the 25" scale
You have tabs for what played? I'm a beginner and need tab to get it
But I wish I had a teacher because it is pretty difficult to do it all alone
Hey Kirk, could you do a video on how you get that sweet (almost woman tone) in the neck position.
more gain and roll off edit: tone pot
@@stanislavmigra Thank you
@@MrMikepresley *tone pot
Kirk what gauge strings are those
Intro sounds a bit like what Danny Kirwan would do
There is nothing that shows your playing "level" more than your vibrato IMHO.
Yeah! Playing the softer notes can really convey the feeling of the blues. A special master of that technique was Jimmy Page in “Since I’ve Been Loving You” on zeppelin III and on “Tea For One”. Some of those notes were so light you could barely hear them but you knew they were there! Aw yeah! Love your videos. You talk to us. Thank you!
Great video, really enjoyed it. Thanks!
