Thanks for introducing me to Kirk, his music, and his story. What a great player, teacher, and human being. I am at the early stages of learning to play the blues and Kirk's knowledge, ability to break it down into bite-sized pieces, and then demonstrate it for us in these lessons has inspired me to stay the course on my blues journey. I live in a rural area, so finding people to play with has been discouraging by itself, but to jam the blues , non existant...so, its been just me at home noodling around w no direction. Now im breaking out my guitar watching Kirk's vids, following along, and breaking some bad habits, like ignoring rhythm. Anyway, thanks for these videos and exposing me to Kirk.
Kirk has been one of my favorite players since I run across his playing a couple years ago. By far the best rhythm guy in the business and one of the absolute best blues players of modern day.
Thank you, Kirk Fletcher and Brett Papa. One of the amazing things that Kirk Fletcher does is take a technique and walk it through the different genres of music. You can actually hear and see how jazz, blues, rock and roll, gospel, and country are connected. So much knowledge and practical experience. He should do some guest lecturing at music conservatories. Bobby Womack is best known for R&B songs like "That's the way I feel About Cha", "If you think You're lonely Now", "Harry Hippie", and "Across 110th Street". He was also Sam Cooke's back guitarist.
Thank you, Kirk Fletcher, your demos are so honest, straight ahead, love the references to players. Not over explaining. I'm a sax player, fairly experienced and seeing/hearing you play informs my playing. Rhythm guitarists are central to the feel
Another amazing video Brett thank you for such great content and always reminding me to get back to the basics of rhythm playing. Hey just a curiosity but do you know Dave Cleveland at all?

Brett your lesson on. Get better fast from about a year ago is the backing track you mention available on your website as the link is for a Cory conoglio track and I’d like to get a copy also is there more on your paid site regarding that lesson cheers
Is Kirk Fletcher the nicest guy in Blues? Fantastic player. Especially like his first album. When Kirk returns, is there any chance he will tell us the chords he is playing? I can't really see what his hands are doing as he keeps them so tight. Thanks Brett!

Dieser Mann ist wie ein musikalisches Lexikon. Er beherrscht so ziemlich jeden Style so authentisch, das alleine das zuhören einen in die Vergangenheit bringt. Großartig.
The best part was actually when Brett showed the major pent double stops around 15-16minute mark. That was the biggest and easiest thing to take out of this video. Kirk is a monster player but did a poor job of slowing his stuff down and showing what actual chords he was playing. Thanks Brett always enjoyable
Another fantastic lesson with Kirk! Thank you so much to both of you for this one as rhythm playing is the most mportant skill in becoming an overall good guitarist.
its kind of frustrating ,i cant even get anywhere near .. even if he breaks it down you still cant do it like him . great insight though , two cool gents
I am on guitar,bass music journey throughout my life. Rhythm is like making a really good sandwich, in that you can’t make a really good sandwich without having great tasting bread. In other words rhythm is like bread that makes for a great solo / lead playing. Someone soloing as fast they can up and down on the neck of a guitar can sometimes be impressive in itself but I find it for the most part really just boring. I prefer the structure of an actual song. - Just my thoughts/ analogy. 🎸
Sure you can. Lot's of people say that but having taught, worked in lesson studios with tons of other teachers, and been taught rhythm myself at one point I tend to disagree. It takes work and some people have it naturally much better than others but the ones who don't but diligently work on it can be just as good or better in time. There are tons of people who say things can't be done and there are other who don't listen and keep truckin and often times those are the ones who actually make it in life but it takes work!

That's awesome! Kirk is amazing!
Kirk is so steeped in the blues and it’s offshoots,church music included….it is just ON❤❤
Yep agreed!
He’s a pastor’s son and first started in church, I believe. Same with Joey Landreth.
Kirk has been one of my favorite players since I run across his playing a couple years ago. By far the best rhythm guy in the business and one of the absolute best blues players of modern day.
For sure!

I don't know that I've seen a person have more fun playing the guitar than Kirk Fletcher.
Yep he has a blast!

Hey Brett, re the course offer with yourself & Kirk, is the format similar to this YT vid? Thanks.
Yeah just way more in depth and it has backing tracks and tabs etc.
"now, i ain't talkin reggie young commode-huggin' drunk, i was god's own drunk"

does kirk sing ? seems like he has a voice made for it, i've seen him with lots of players but can't ever remember him singing ...
Yes
@@BrettPapa thanks , gonna have to check that out ...
Kirk is the blues compendium
For sure!
Paul Stanley of Kiss has a good video on rhythm. When you hear him you understand that the foundation of the songs are Paul -- not Ace Frehley.
Bring on RJ
Tons coming up with RJ soon! Gonna be awesome!
Saludos Maestro i was lookin For u chanel \,,,/ rock n roll l

How does a man with hands the size of whole cows and fingers the size of leg hams make notes in a chord sound so clear.
Haha
Are you lads going through a marshall here?
No it's a Divided by 13 CJ11 for me and a Lazy J J20 for Kirk.
its kind of frustrating ,i cant even get anywhere near .. even if he breaks it down you still cant do it like him . great insight though , two cool gents
Just takes time. Just remember Kirk has been doing this for 30 years or more none stop.
im 63 brett @@BrettPapa played for 50 yrs but great advice regardless . cheers from the north of england .

Good one. I'm with ya I would way rather hear a great song that may happen to have a good guitar solo than 20 minutes of soloing any day of the week.
Damn too slow I missed the discount
