wow this is great.been listing to kirk for decades when he was with richard clapton and so on.loved the first album no apostrophe thru to chasing the train in the ninetys at a pub in chatswood on sunday arvos and good to see they are still doin it.a true bluesmans who has stayed with his roots.cheers
You're a hell of a player man! So much tone and vibe. You deserve an A+ do you have any tips on the tuned settings besides the Capo. Slide guitar harmonica and a great mojo amp what a thrill! Great stuff
I have real trouble playing slide on an electric due to the action being to low for slide and if I raise it to a height that alows me to slide with out banging off the frets then I can't finger the strings...
Excellent - but also it encompasses everything i always hated about blues music as i heard it when i was a kid (now i'm peculiarly drawn to it). Where's the friggin soul spirit or musicality in a dry technical excercise of expertise though - nice one - but not for me thanks.
I have been hammering at slide for a lot of years..I know it doesn't show..but Kirk has more control, dexterity, and placement perfection than ANY slide player I have ever seen. WAY better than Derek Trucks..the only better player (and I have studied all of them) is Duane Allman.
This guy is awesome, no doubt, incredible feel, dexterity and timing. but WAY better than Derek? Are you crazy? Dude, unless you're this guys mother you need to listen a little more carefully
I saw Derek when he was 15..I saw him about six months ago in Orlando..he ain't that hot, he's noisy and is limited to open E tuning. Kirk dampens ALL the strings except the ones he is using, you need to listen a little closer try this /watch?v=SysY0h5QmuE
Just a question on the capo. Is there a reason why you don't put it a the neck the other way around?
I used to hate a capo because it got in the way of my hand. Until I realized I had it put on the (I thought) wrong way. Now I see you having it in that awkward way as well. Am I missing something?
no mistakin ,this is KL , Just awesome . hell i wish i could do that.

the low e string which was drop tuned is back to e, but then the rest of the strings are a step up, so no, its not regular tuning.
