    Now and then a blues player turns up and plays with real soul where every note counts and it’s never over flash. Kirk Fletcher is that guy. He just makes me want to play my guitar and reminds me, like Peter Green did, that it is about making my guitar sing.

      Always surprised at the quality and originality of today's relatively unknown blues guitarists. Chris Cain to Robert Randolph, Josh. I hope to help foster a revival of blues piano, played on real pianos. I tried to make my case to Chris, but he was like "digi pianos stay in tune homie. aint no pianos in clubs". can you imagine Josh playing this onMetheney's's digital rig? NO WAY!!!! I rest my case. Digi pianos. bah. BS balderdash. shite. ruclips.net/video/0BVprgdMp60/видео.html hootche cootchie man

      This is the best slow blues solo I've ever heard from him and one of the best blues solos I've ever heard. Every lick was choice. Josh Smith followed ELEGANTLY with a full soft 24 bars unaccompanied. This is a remarkable recording live

    • @tylerangle1990
      @tylerangle1990 4 года назад +2

      I particularly like how Josh followed up with a little different style of blues. Kirk laid down more of the traditional type stuff and Josh followed up with more of a jazz/country type feel rather than playing similarly to Kirk. That’s what makes it interesting is knowing how to add different flavors so they don’t come out sounding the same.

    When my girlfriend snapped off the headstock of my Taylor guitar because it swept through my fender blues deluxe speaker I had the blues so bad. Then hurricane Sandy came and completely submersed the amp in salt water. I did so many gigs with that amp. Play the crap out of your gear , tomorrows never guaranteed. True story 😢

      @@sguitar2002 Not at all a shadow, as technical a player JB is, he has lost a huge amount of feel in his playing over the years and plays far too much at times. Not taking anything away from JB but I listen to his early blues stuff these days. Kirk however, maybe not as technical but boy does he have feel, JOSH on the other is the most listenable player here, and I stress " In my opinion anyway" Anyway they are equally as good as each other, just depends on who's ear is listening to them.

    Me mental distancing with two of the best sounded Blues guitarists on the planet right now while people are all social distancing. This music is coming from the stratosphere and it is definitely not intended for the majority of people. I know for fact, B.B. King would be proud of them.
    I followed Kirk for about a decade and a half: he got so much better that he comes close to B.B. King in terms of finesse. But for those who don't know, Josh Smith here sounds a bit like Kirk used to sound like in his big US touring days except of course Josh has a perfect technique here. BTW I am almost sure Kirk played Fender back in the days and not Gibson. Correct me if I'm wrong.
