The world is a better place with Kirk Fletcher in it.
I'm not going to lie: I did not want this video to end. Kirk seems like such a down to earth kind of guitarist and it's really refreshing to see someone who plays so well and remains so humble at the same time. Loads of good vibes!

Why would you have lied?
This is long overdue. The guys touch is incredible.
His voice is so calming
What a lovely person Kirk is.....and a great blues player too....what more do you want.....cheers..
People say Kirk seems so down to earth, such a nice guy.. Well, he is, and the 'cool' you see, is natural and just his way.. He is one of those players who inspire. If you met him, he is the same out at a gig, or club, as you see now. The only difference is you see him in from of you. He is truly a kind and generous person and inspires all who meets him. One of the most supportive genuine persons I have encountered in the industry.

Joe Marcos - When I was young, I fell hard for Blues guitar. I received my first guitar when I was 10 and I found, almost immediately, that playing made my lonely days less so, my headaches not hurt so much, and my sorrow at the loss of loved ones not so debilitating. Kirk’s playing touches off so many wonderful feelings inside. I think if the world could experience someone playing music like that, this world would finally know a global day of peace!

Ian Cochrane I’m really with you. No bs. Just a great player and nice guy.
Tone and touch. Kirk is a listener, obviously. Seen him backing many greats; He is a headliner now; very well deserved. Humble, fresh, and passionate.
What a ray of sunshine this guy is. Thank you for posting.
Soon as he spoke, I went in to relax mode. What a voice! My musical diet has another ingredient in the form of this guy. Thank you for bring that to my attention!
It's a great thing when you hear someone play so natural and fresh and alive and you get to discover it all over again.
Just found this guy...today's a great day!!!
The control on those bends, just perfect 👌🏼
This gentleman is not only a fantastic player but also a gifted teacher and communicator with a warmth that radiates from a great soul.
Mr. Fletcher seems like such a pleasant person, every interview he does is great, what a great talent !
That tone. That playing. Just perfect. And what a nice down to earth guy.
Kirk seems like a truly nice guy. Love his playing. He makes it look effortless but as an amateur, I know it's not easy.
So refreshing to see such a giant of guitar using such a humble pedalboard... simplicity is indeed the ultimate sophistication...
I didn't know Kirk at all. Just saw him for the first time and heard his voice. His style of music, his way of playing the blues in a manifold way, gave me again more inspirations. Especially also by the sound of his guitar and: his voice. Oh yes, I am 69 years old. Bought a used Telecaster MIM and got lucky with it. Am totally in love with it. Thanks for the information and stay well. Regards Volker
Love listening to this man speak about music. His passion just comes through.
Been listening to the new album on repeat, and Kirk is quickly turning into one of my favorite blues players!
Musicality and touch at highest level. Him, Josh and Matt, amazing guitarists
This man have such a fine style, it’s amazing.
Not only a brilliant guitarist and stylist, but easily the most charming guy on the circuit today. A joy to listen to and a joy to be in conversation with. Thanks, Guitarist Magazine!
Thank You for keeping it SLOW and AUTHENTIC. Excellent Guitar Playing .
What a relaxed, exquisite, and technically masterful playing style. I could listen to him play all day. Would love to see him play live. Thank you for posting this. 🎸🙂
Kirk Fletcher is my favorite living guitarist. His tone is just my favorite. That mulan tele is amazing it looks like a tele and sounds like a 335.
One of my favorite guitarists. Seriously one of my dream gigs is to share the stage with this fantastic musician🤙🏽
Kirk is such a versatile player, great sounding solo tones, swinging rythmn and would grace the stage with any of the greats!
I think Kirk could probably nail a voice impression of that Allstate guy... “Are you in good hands”.

I’m 60 and just started my electric guitar playing journey…I wished this gentleman could come by my house and teach me how to play like he does …and pick his brain of knowledge some…
Man fantastic tone! I'm more of a strat guy but Kirk makes the tele sing with so much character! I'm so impressed by the warmth he can get out of his guitar.
Fantastic individual. A very generous person in sharing his technique with us. Thank you Kirk.
That was the cleanest shit I've ever heard.

Man, I just discovered this dude a few months ago. I am glad I did. I have learned t so many awesome blues riffs. Kirk, you tha man!!!!
Seems like a very zen-like setup to me, pure essence of tones. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Kirk is a class act period..
Kirk is such a class act, awesome player too. I'd love to just take a single lesson from him. He makes it look so easy.
Kirk is a great blues player. What I love is his overdrive tone is an extension of his clean tone using mainly the guitar volume to overdrive the amp. Also his days in the swing bands has really paid off giving him a great sense of rhythm. He can sing well too. Kirk and Robben Ford are it for me.

KZread Suggested videos was finally helpful. This Kirk Fletcher video and one of him demonstrating the Fender Deluxe Tonemaster popped up on my feed today.
could watch this all day - more please Kirk
I agree with what so many others have said here in the Comments: this interview and his playing could've gone on all day long and I would've watched every minute of it, never wanting it to end.
Such a great player, one of my favourites!
Kirk Fletcher is awesome, one of the best blues guys working today.
Love the warmth of it all!
Where have I been? I have only just come across, Kirk. What a fantastic player.
Fantastic playing, great personality, some people have it all. Keep it up, Kirk, you're awesome!
Such an awesome player, and, down to earth human being. Love him!
Kirk is such a treasure.
Kirk’s playing is so fascinating!!
Love that tele, so clean and awsome tones
Thank you very much, just the last 30 seconds teach me more than all video. Keep going.
I love this man! Such a positive spirit.
Kirk is such a positive guy so sweet and positive vibe kinda guy, i like your playbing also. Your the kinda guy you want to spend time with all the time when your down, he is so positive.h3 makes your day. Thanks kirk 👍👍👍
Such a gentleman and a guitar hero.
What a talent! A very solid guy with some amazing moves.
This guy is so cool. So much love for the music.
Awesome, Kirk. Thank you very much for this.
Kirk knows to let music flow/breathe not just robot metronomic parts. Thank you for service sir.
Beautiful blues licks
This is part of what I’ve been searching for...
So jealous. As close to perfection as I have heard. Just,wow!
Awesome Blues Playing! Great Licks, Tones, Tunes, and Technique!
This video is GOLD
Kirk is so awesome. There's some fantastic guitar playing on the new album. Really good stuff all the way through.
watched a buddy guy video many years ago where he showed how he would play finger style with a pick jammed in a crease in his palm, to switch it up, with the pick ready to go at moments notice. The trick was in switching between the two and not dropping them on stage when switching.
you've got to love his sound and playing!
Wow! What a lovely sound and feel.
What a down to earth guy. Really fantastic playing.
Now I know Kirk Fletcher. Amasing touch and sound.
Funny, that Moo Moo guitar goes off in his hands and he leans back laughing, like YUP, I just spanked this guitar for y’all ... 🤘🎸🎸 Humble and wicked good, nice interview format 👍
Love ya Kirk - inspirational & cool too. Your picking makes me smile :-)
What a cool dude that can play very well. Thanks for the upload!
LOVE THE BLUES BROTHER!!!
Kool guy....down to Earth , humble--- but above all , a great blues man. Thank you KF.
Major respect. A great player, a top human being.
THANK YOU! Hadn't heard this guy before. Now I will look for more of his music. I will also support his career by " Buying some if his music!!" If we don't support them. They tend to go away! Thanx again.
That was incredible. Thanks for this.
Just discovered Kirk here.. He's great! Thanks.
Great tones !!
Wonderful, lovely to watch.
Love your music , please do more.
"it depends on the mood" - Kirk is a fantastic player and a very nice guy. (The pedalboard is small and fine - Kirk is playing with his feeling for vibrato....so very good!) Thanx fo Mike Landau - he is doin' the support for Kirk!
That tone is so unbelievably crisp
Why would anyone dislike this video? I can only assume they're not guitarists and don't like music, but then why watch it in the first place! Crazy people out there

isnt it amazing how something so simple can be incredible in the right hands.
Listen to him talk, his phrases are very musical. Thanks for the great video
Kirk is one of my favorites, probably one of the best blues guys around today. That semi hollow tele is fucking beautiful.
What a gentleman and with amazing talent.
Amazing tone and touch!
