He’s the only guy I’ve heard that’s currently performing that sounds so much like BB besides Mayer. They’re both modern versions of the Kings. Mayer has got the SRV Clapton thing and Fletcher has got the Hendrix/BB King thing
@@oicsaywhat Happy you've discovered him and like his playing. I don't know which country you're in but I'm in someplace that used to be britain. Over the last few years I've come across many many awesome guitar players, singers in the ...u.s. So many it's ridiculous. One of my favourites, although not a blues player, is John Prine. He has a similar playing style to mine and I just love his sound. Simple but very effective.
@@ianrichardson3968 Love John Prine. May he rest in peace 🙏, yeah I’m in the USA , TH-cam is the best thing for discovering new music I can’t handle the music they force feed us with mainstream music , there’s so many artist out there that deserve the same recognition and probably better musician to boot, yeah hope your music gets out there!!
You can feel a big warm personality coming through in these phrases, someone who's felt all the depths and heights of being human, and has a lot of kindness and empathy in their heart.
You can tell they were raised right because his brothers and his family are all the same kind hearted ❤️. I found Kurt because I followed his brother CT Fletcher powerhouse of a weightlifting champion from way back and it just so happened Kurt was on one of the TH-cam videos of CT so I figured I check it out because I also enjoy playing the guitar and the blues. I'm glad I did .God bless
The only thing a blues player has to find is a great tone. The rest comes on its own. You can only play 5 notes in a solo... If the sound melts your heart
Kirk is the man, been lucky to see him play in some very intimate venues here in the UK and even spoke to him after the gig enjoying a drink at the bar. He is so humble and gracious, very generous with his time. He is forging a path up there with the greats of blues guitar
I agree with hector2utube that Kirk's sound is heavy with B.B.King and some Freddie King influence. Now at 7:17 his second jam begins and reminds me of Robin Trower. Mr. Fletcher is cool in my book!
Kirk Fletcher can whisper with his strings as sweetly as he can make those steel wires wail, take it up, take it down, take it home, a singing, stinging, filigree of purest blues storytelling.
Kirk is an amazing player and a sweet heart as a person...... The big stage is long overdue.....combination of so many styles.... so much soul and heart into it.
Great! I am also very impressed how the drummer, Vince Fossett is " taking care of business ", difficult not to play too much, not being in the way, not loose push at the same time and with a great blues playing style and feel, perfect!
Well I'm just now hearing Kirk Fletcher for the first time,where have I been? Good stuff Kirk,welcome to the family. That really does my heart good to know the future of the blues is safe!
Kirk is one soulful being!! He sounds like BB king, Joe Bonamassa, Jimmy Hendricks, Chuck Berry,and more. But, he has a style of his own . Keep on keeping 💯 on!!!
I love the sign behind the band that says “absolutely no video recording “ lol! Some things are so good it would be a crime to not record. This being one!
In the first song, I'm pretty sure he was going directly to the amp (maybe a compressor) and it was crisp. Kirk is great for today. Hes got that old sound but hes incorporated and expanded on the style he expresses. And what a great touch -- understands the power of dynamics and building a solo. Solid stuff!
hello... I don't think he was using a compressor besides amp itself compression. just slight reverb. but surely you are right a damn cable straight to the amp.. 😉🖖🏻🎸
Holy smokes! That's some blues. I don't think I've ever heard anything like this before. That second tune. There's a little Hendrix in there and a lot more.
Well that’s just the dog’s what’s its isn’t it. Great tasteful playing and fab vocals. I’ll be spending hours just trying to steal some of those licks to put into my playing. Fabulous/
Smooth playing, tasty licks and he makes all the faces that come with playing the blues, just right. (Old Chicago Blues Guy...) thanks for sharing this, makes ya feel good, video
Obviously Kirk is killer, but that drummer has awesome dynamics. Loved his feel during the beginning of the solo, so quiet, so full of restraint. It’s drummers like him that make it easy for us guitar players.
Thank you for providing a great live-act again! I appreciate your awesome commitment to excellent musical art and your effort of sharing it with others!

I’m trying to learn the blues. This guy is the ultimate benchmark for any blues player. Awesome,
He’s the only guy I’ve heard that’s currently performing that sounds so much like BB besides Mayer. They’re both modern versions of the Kings. Mayer has got the SRV Clapton thing and Fletcher has got the Hendrix/BB King thing
I am so impressed too. It is like wow!
SRV is a fair alternative.
If you like his blues chops, he's killer on rhythm guitar
If this doesn,t move your soul.......Then you simply don,t have One... Blues will never Die!
Kirk is one of the best blues players out there, surprisingly many have never heard of him...their loss..
So has most things, it's how it's done.
@@sgcl2276 so have houses, beer, and hamburgers. But we still want em and need em.
I just discovered him and totally blown away!! Masterful tone and playing

A total BEAST of a player.
so nice to hear some good ole slow soulful blues again, thank you
th-cam.com/video/HTWPijy9DcU/w-d-xo.html :) Some slow blues for you.
I liked this guy from the first note. Super good. What a player.
Thinking exactly the same..immediate ahhhhhh...
This is like some beautiful blend of BB KING,BUDDY GUY,STEVIE RAY AND I LOVE IT ALL,I WISH THIS GUY A LONG CAREER!
King of the SweetSpots
No matter where he ends up....
Its always right
Love the sweet sound of those Lace Sensor pups. Love you style too and thanks to Don Lace, R.I.P.
As a guitarist myself, I have to admire the amazing tone and soul here 👌!!
Same it sounds so amazing with how much he's putting his soul he puts into his playing
I agree..
The only thing a blues player has to find is a great tone. The rest comes on its own. You can only play 5 notes in a solo... If the sound melts your heart
As a BIPOC, I admire the guitar playing too

Eric eat your heart out. This doesn’t get better. This doesn’t get any better. Thanks, Kirk.
I hear a lot of BB King here - nice touch and some unique vibes in his playing.
Those licks are classic BB King.
@TexasTornado187 yep!
Because this is BB’s “How Blue Can You Get”
@IT'SME Well, there is a Univibe....
Whoever thumbs downs this video I would not be able to get along with. They don't understand the blues and probably like edm. Kirk is a master
@Gabrielle Wood booooo :)
I agree with hector2utube that Kirk's sound is heavy with B.B.King and some Freddie King influence. Now at 7:17 his second jam begins and reminds me of Robin Trower. Mr. Fletcher is cool in my book!
What pedal is he using in the second song for the Trower sound? Univibe?
Dude I was just thinking that!! Do you know the name of the tune?
Any of you guys know where i could find a backing track in that style and by who ? Absolutely insane
definitely Trower Power vibes there !! fire!
@@TheBEEFBOY Here you go bro, even the same key, B flat :)....
th-cam.com/video/UvfC-fILhAY/w-d-xo.html
Kirk is such a versatile guitarplayer, doing his own thang but not shy of showing his influences - love that attitude !
Kirk Fletcher can whisper with his strings as sweetly as he can make those steel wires wail, take it up, take it down, take it home, a singing, stinging, filigree of purest blues storytelling.
I love to here Fletch on a Strat.
Only recently found this dude... now my favorite modern blues player
profesor Mr Kirk
That's as pure as the blues can be played, bro. You got a new sub.
Best Kirk slow blues performance by far
Kirk is a real favourite, such an authentic player. Total quality
Kirk is an amazing player and a sweet heart as a person......
The big stage is long overdue.....combination of so many styles.... so much soul and heart into it.
Great! I am also very impressed how the drummer, Vince Fossett is " taking care of business ", difficult not to play too much, not being in the way, not loose push at the same time and with a great blues playing style and feel, perfect!
Besides the BB King style I also hear a bit of Freddie King with that sweet Texas sound...
This man is well versed in his influences and has his own unique style & tone. Can tell he’s listened to Band of Gypsie once or twice.
Real good feeling, Mr. Kirk Fletcher
Linda i wish i could go and see all these great players that you do! So jealous! Thanks for all these wonderull videos!
Randy D. Your welcome Randy, I’m glad to be able to share their wonderful talent with others 😊
Kirk is awesome ..beautiful man .
Well I'm just now hearing Kirk Fletcher for the first time,where have I been? Good stuff Kirk,welcome to the family. That really does my heart good to know the future of the blues is safe!
Kirk is one soulful being!! He sounds like BB king, Joe Bonamassa, Jimmy Hendricks, Chuck Berry,and more. But, he has a style of his own . Keep on keeping 💯 on!!!
Jimi Hendrix, my friend
Every note played with such expression and control. Mission accomplished
Fender Man Approved!
Great camera work on a must see magical artist. Wonderful Human, Stellar Musician! Thanks for this Linda! You Rock as well!
Very tasty chops, Brother! Been playin fer many decades, an can spot th Real Deal! :-) Lookin forward to more of yer music.
Kirk's timing is impressive! Awesome video!
This is the real deal.....as blue as blue can get....can't get enough of this!
Kirk is a favorite. No fake soul. The real thing.
Very nice, finally a player who doesn't sound like SRV.
It's that AUTHENTIC "Old School" Blues sound that Kirk brings from his very Soul!
Loving this guy’s sound. Very moving.
Though, I truly wold like to hear someone who sounds like SRV. Please do share.
@@ryanlamb8118 Well Philip Sayce and Kenny Wayne Shepherd. Well their guitar tone and a lot of licks are very similar
No, he sounds like BB King.
Millicent Bystander Eric Tessmer mid 2000’s
Kirk is nothing short of amazing!
Hello Mr Fletcher Elder Anthony Williams here.Imy family and I use to attend your dad's church. So proud of you.
First class! Couldn’t be better.
I love the sign behind the band that says “absolutely no video recording “ lol! Some things are so good it would be a crime to not record. This being one!
Awesome playing from DENVER COLORADO nice licks you need to be on a big stage you would kill it.
Damn Good Stuff! 👍🏼👏🏼

hello... I don't think he was using a compressor besides amp itself compression. just slight reverb. but surely you are right a damn cable straight to the amp.. 😉🖖🏻🎸
Sounds like B.B., nice touch here, great vibrato!!!
Holy smokes! That's some blues. I don't think I've ever heard anything like this before. That second tune. There's a little Hendrix in there and a lot more.
And some BB King too, actually a lot of. I love IT. I too play blues at my guitar 🥰
That was something I had to hear twice. 👍
On my way to the Crossroads Guitar Festival and he should be on the bill.
I have probably watched this 40 times in the last couple of weeks. There is so much beautiful guitar playing to mine…
😅
Well that’s just the dog’s what’s its isn’t it. Great tasteful playing and fab vocals. I’ll be spending hours just trying to steal some of those licks to put into my playing. Fabulous/
Make that beauty sing brother...man u r great...and so is that smokin band in perrrfect counter point :0)
❤❤when I was learning I would listen to pirate radio and also radio stations that played early 1920-1930 blues and just practice all day long xxx
What can one say, My Kirk Fletcher is rather superb 😀
Smooth playing, tasty licks and he makes all the faces that come with playing the blues, just right.
(Old Chicago Blues Guy...) thanks for sharing this, makes ya feel good, video
The finish on his guitar is spectacular!
Dude, you are on FIRE ! I love it ! Thank you Linda !
I got to see him jam with his older Big Walt. I wish we had camera phones back then. They both showed out. And they can funk too.
BB LIVES ! On the backs of KINGS , we grow !
I think its funny that there is a sign behind the drummer that says, "ABSOLUTELY NO audio/video recording," but there they are
Such a clean tone. He's not hiding behind anything because he's a blues master - he's been to the crossroads i bet.
Kirk's tone and playing gives me uncontrolled shivers same as BB does...
Linda, thanks again for sharing..
And amazing Travis Carlton on the bass... One of the best young bass players today.
Travis is absolutely the BEST!!!!
I gotta find me a venue that plays Blues all week long in Las Vegas, NV. Kirk the man thanx man play the Blues play the Blues
And thank you for these...
Nice tune, well done. Keep making videos,sounds good!
Best blues player on the planet! So authentic🔥🔥🔥
Man Kirk living pt. in Europe agrees with you. Looking strong.
Shout out to the whole group bass drums and keys sounded great!
MANY THANKS LINDA ........ GREAT JOB.........MAKES ME WANT A BAKED POTATO !! MUCH LOVE & BLESSINGS FOR YOU !! XOX !!
This sounds like prime-period BB King! I've seen Kirk with Joe Bonamassa, so it's nice to see him front and center. Missmoke delivers the goods again!
What a player! I love the blues!
Clapton Strat with Lace Sensor Gold pickups that is huh? :) I like!
Thank you so much for that. I was feeling blue. And now I feel better.🤙🎸
Obviously Kirk is killer, but that drummer has awesome dynamics. Loved his feel during the beginning of the solo, so quiet, so full of restraint. It’s drummers like him that make it easy for us guitar players.
Kirk deserves more attention and exposure no doubt at all
Thank you for providing a great live-act again! I appreciate your awesome commitment to excellent musical art and your effort of sharing it with others!
Hey Thanks Peter! We have to do what we can to keep real music alive! Spread the word :)
Thank you Kirk🎸🎸🎼
Kirk is the man
6:44 love the look on the drummers face. Kirk is the man! Killer blues all around.
ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC WHAT A TALENT!!!!!!!!

Ugh he just slays every time.
The Blues is king !

Pure soul and feeling.Would love to sit there with an ice cold beer and enjoy.😁✌
Curious to know wha tpickups are in that strat......
Great Bluespower ! Love it 👍
So good to hear a blues played like it should. Kirk and guy king are my favourite players by far .
I Reckon!..One Of The Best!..Makes That Guitar Talk!
É impressionante o talento desse cara, Hey kirk vc é um dos melhores e isso nós do blues sabemos cara....eu nem sei o que o dizer, apenas agradeço
One of my go to guitar influencers at the moment. Totally inspirational!
Kirk is the slow blues specialist 👌🏼
Love the sign at the back of the stage.
