Kirk Fletcher laying it down. I have been listening to him play for at least 10 years. Let people know his name in your title. Amazing player and genuinely a good human.

It's so nice to hear a Les Paul being used this way. It's a super flexible instrument. It does a lot more than the heavily overdriven single note, big sustain solos they are so famous for.

Love that vibe. Reminds me of BBKing and SRV. Thank you Kirk Fletcher.

Kirks first album is a masterclass in blues virtuosity. He doesn’t get as much recognition as more flamboyant players but he is at the top of the heap along with a couple other guys… truly one of the best.

... and, THAT'S how you play the Blues.
Steeped in traditional licks, yet loaded with creativity and emotion.
Dude can play!

A very, very good bluesman. At the 2:00 mark when he begins revving it up, he puts me in mind of Hendrix and Stevie Ray: Jimi's solo in Red House at San Diego and the Isle of Wight, and Stevie Ray's solo on Texas Flood at the El Mocambo. Glad to see some youngsters still putting passion and feel into blues playing, and not just trying to be impressive shredders, of which there is a plethora these days.

Been playing blues guitar for 30 years and kirk has definitely got it down, nice mix of the legends riffs and some of his own

Kirk and Josh are outstanding players and human beings. Seen them both on JB blues cruise. Outstanding

I learned of him only a few years ago. I went to Law School with one of his nieces. She told me about him. He blows me away. Oozes talent.

Fantastic tone out of a Les Paul. Great playing the blues.

[DizzyKrissi]

When it feels like it cannot be any better - thanks for this memorable moment.

[davidkalina]

Tone is absolutely smooth and sick. This is no bubble gum BS, this is real blues

[carlosvejar]

SRV’s spirit lives on. You can hear the influence.

Very nice, best guitar solo I ever heard was Doug Sahm at Armadillo World Headquarters, about 1973. Keep in mind, that was when Stevie Ray Vaughn was everywhere, will never forget how perfect this solo was.

I find an amazing that guitar strings can sometimes touch how you feel with just a tone.

Kirk has changed my whole way of thinking about playing blues. He is a genius.

[Christopher_Bachm]

About one minute in - Ok.
Two minutes in - Now your talking...
On to the crescendo and out.
Sweet.
Now, he's one of the best that I've heard...
Congratulations!
You've got the gift for it.

[marksprinkle]

He’s got such a sweet sound. When Kirk and Josh Smith play together something goods gonna happen!

It's a beautiful thing. A great musician plays from the heart rather than soullessly running up and down the fretboard through scales as fast as humanly possible.
