This guy is on fire! So in the zone...

In hip-hop, a major attribute of the talent for a rapper is "flow". How fitting that THE hip-hop band has a lead guitar who has great flow. Like Jimi himself, the cat has the ablity to take long solos and not bore you with mindless repitition. Listten to transition so beautifully from psychedlic blues to full stredd and back.

[MrDuffy81]

Now, I can dig this!

Jimmy would be proud. Shit, HE IS!

[michaeljamsmith]

@MrDuffy81 Page? Vaughan? I don't know. Now "Jimi", for sure. Without a shadow of a doubt.

[RobDZeppelin]

@michaeljamsmith Lol. so what he misspelled Jimi and typed Jimmy. It's common, get over it. Other from that, kick ass solo

[michaeljamsmith]

@RobDZeppelin It was a joke. Maybe you should get over it. But really, James Marshall Hendrix was christened "Jimi" by Chas Chandler for a reason. He was different. The name and the spelling are revered by some of us.

[RobDZeppelin]

@michaeljamsmith You're telling me to get over it....lol. At least we know that the other guy knows whos he's talking about. cheers

[michaeljamsmith]

@RobDZeppelin Hey dude, you win. I am over it. Never will bring it up again. I promise. Really...

Kirk's been this good for a LONG time. Nobody who knows him is a skeptic. We're wondering what took so damn long for him to get noticed. Thanks youtube.
