BLUES GUITAR PHRASING LESSON, PRS GUITARS AND A CHAT ABOUT JIMMY DAWKINS WITH KIRK FLETCHER 

Man! No matter the kind of day I’ve had Kirks videos always cheer me up and even better, give me something new to try on the guitar. I’m a beginner who has been playing for 35 years!!

Kirk has an endless library of licks. You'll rarely hear him play the same thing over and over again

If my kids could have a bonus grandpa I’d want it to be you. Wisdom, humor and humility. You’re an inspiration!

Bonjour magnifique Mr kirk après une journée de travail ça apaise Merci

What a lovely sound from a lovely man✌️ amazing kirk

Kirk; Thanks for suggesting Jimmy Dawkins ...!🇺🇲

Words of wisdom and experience.

0:32 thank god! I’m not the only one this happens to 😂 there is still hope 👍👍🏽👍🏾👍🏿

Thank you Kirk Fletcher

Just lovely.

All For Business is one of the best blues albums ever! Jimmy and Otis, that is on fire!

My new guitar inspiration Awesome mate from Australia ❤

horn players always help with that stuff!!

this man is like the hidden gold mine of the guitar internet

Youre just great in blues and the way you explain

Kirk, you're such a gift to mankind :) thank you man

You Sir are an inspiration!!! Thanks Kirk!

Kirk is the duuuuuude☺️

Some advice that stuck with me is if you want to sound like your heroes you should listen to their heroes. And as you say you will still sound like yourself but those influences will give you ideas that help you find your own sound

Jimmy Dawkins was a monster player and pure Chicago! Son Seals was another one. Pure fire!

You make your guitar sing✌🏻️❤️🌵

Maybe a Kirk Fletcher PRS artist guitar? Huh?

Always a pleasure , thank you Kirk

I'm a student of blues guitar and get so much good information from your videos, Kirk. Thanks for everything!

Hey Kirk, thanks for putting these videos out. I love your playing and you're so humble and natural on screen.

Sweet👍😎 See PRS has their own brand of coffee now?😉 Truth for sure. Thanks again 👍😎❤🖖 Love brother

You always make me smile Mr Fletcher.

Please don't stop putting forth your wisdom Kirk.....you are keeping the simple love of music (and guitar) very much alive. Look forward to it everyday. Thank you.

Kirk just seems like the greatest guy and a killer guitar player too! What a great attitude and vibe!

Hi Kirk. I've got the same tee shirt from Norman's rare guitar's 👍

Stumbled upon this and it made my day!

I so enjoy listening to your playing Mr. Fletcher. Thank you. G-dbless🙏🤗🎸💞

Boy you always give me such inspiration Kirk,

so cool.. lovely good mate.thanks

When you hear real music and playing like this, it hits your heart straight away...

Every time i watch one of your video's, i can't help but smile.

Love your approach to playing Kirk. Thanx for mentioning Sammy Lawhorn too. Met him in Oz when he was with Muddy & he was a lovely down to earth guy. Life wasn't so kind to him though. Are you coming to or have you been to Oz?

Beautiful chords!!!!!

Blues as it should be played. This guy is GOOD!

Always inspiring. Your videos always wanna make me grab my guitar!!

i get frustrated for not being able to improvise after playing for 5 years years.Ur videos motivates me to pick up my axe and keep trying.Thanku so much for the inspiration sir🙏🙏🙏

What a player ... gotta love Kirk's smile and how much fun he is having. This video has enough licks to keep me trying new things! Amazing playing! 💖

Such a kind and helpful soul. Please keep up these precious talks.

beautiful playing man, lovely

Beautiful Phrasing, Greg Bach would be proud!!!

Those T-Bone phrases are the best!!!

Grande Kirk. Always amazed by the way the tone flows from your fingers. When you deployed Tbone phrase was fantastic.. Just started to listen to Jimmy D. Thanks for the hint 😉 Blues on bro 🎸🖖🏻

i love this guy!!

Man appreciate you so much. Thank you!

Just beautiful playing

That was a very nice chat, thank you.

Great blues licks, great talk, great advice! Thank you, just sub'd.

Kirk...thanks so much for your valuable insights. I started listening to the Jimmy Dawkins album you recommended and its really great stuff! I've been trying to get back in the saddle with my playing since the Covid shut in. Take care!

Thanks for the Jimmy Dawkins recommendation. Love it !👍

This is the perfect commercial concept you learn something precious and then you buy

jimmy johnson! B houston watch out!!!

So tasty... Beautiful stuff Kirk!

I found you comments on guitars as tools interesting and quite agree. There is no guitar, new or old, that is a "blues guitar". The blues comes from the player.

Nice

See the prs mug upfront

Intro was sooo tasty 🙌🏻🥰

Hi Kirk, New sub here. Love the playing, videos and explanations. Re: PRS Guitars. Man I love all the ones Ive had, once fixed they play and sound great. It's just I have bad luck I guess, every single one from the Import Custom 24 SE to the American Made Silver Sky showed up with issues. I read so many good things about their team at the PTC that I bought over the last 3 years 5 different guitars. My Silver Sky is the best playing guitar, by a country mile. My problem is it came with a dead volume knob and when I emailed them they sent me another used one that was broken. I bought one off their website without telling them why and it worked fine. You can tell the pot was used because it had been cut out of another guitar. They left the little 1-2cm nubs on each lead where they snipped it. For a 2100 dollar guitar with no case, I would hope I'd get a bit better response when it had an issue. 3 months after having it all the volume and tone knob black ink is completely rubbed off. I got a 30 anniversary Custom 24, the nut was cut so low it was down to the fretboard, all strings buzzed (of course), so I sent it in to the PTC because they wanted to fix it for me. 5 months. They had it 5 months. Sent it back after I finally asked how things were going (They didn't even know they had it, they had to go check and get back to me) I got it back a week later, no shipping notification, and they never replaced the nut. They just raised the bridge until only the low e buzzed which makes the action anywhere past the 5th fret higher than mt kilimanjaro. Custom 24 came with 2 frets that had been chipped in the middle of them from a tool of some sort, sent back to sweetwater, got a new one where the bridge route was bigger than the bridge so it would always move under tension. Had to block it off with wood. My Hollowbody II came with a dead tone knob. Replaced it myself. I imported a purple burst from the UK... a bird was missing from the fretboard. Tried contacting them on their forums and they deleted the post after their fanboy brigade came to explain how I was being passive aggressive for asking if they had a dealer complaint form to report dealers who may be sending out bogus guitars (all guitars were bought from 2 different Vendors, Miami Guitars, and Sweetwater cept the uk import from Andertons). So for me. I just can't give them anymore of my money. That said, if you are able to play the guitar in house and everything works. They are some of the best guitars out there.

Man you play sweet

Can't find Sammy Long online anywhere. 😭

Son Seals " Please Don't take for me for your fool, don't go breaking all the rules". Ha, ha.

What tips would you give someone to play blues better.

uau... 1:00 have a dream

Mathew scott is watching.

I know this is a paid advert but I don't care cos Kirk is cool.

Kirk! What amp are you playing this through? or if anyone else knows, would be greatly appreciated!

Is that a grinder in the background? Was it 345 or 355? I love your vids, you seem like the loveliest bloke to have as a friend.

Chicago don’t forget Lurrie Bell.

ernest ranglin

one cool cat......

Not all your taste is in your mouth, Good Sir. Lookin' fwd to more. Would that I could see making mistakes and gliding from phrase to phrase Mr Twinkle Tone. One of these days soon. Till then ...good stuff. Abso-tively good, good stuff.

Muddy Waters sang and played very well... Btw... And he was a character on the stage as well... Thanks for sharing... Nice mistake and then you did something else to keep going... It's impossible to not sound similar to someone else before you, and at the same time you can be yourself... Thanks.

prs mug for little money this is blues

Almost sounds as good as a strat! lol

I have nothing against beautiful guitars. But this is not one of them. When the headstock looks like that the whole guitar looks just ugly. But your playing is just beautiful !

What can I say? I wish you were a neighbour of mine. Am I being selfish? Lol I don’t have anyone to play with anymore.
