Kirk Lorange | Slide Guitar -- Stormy Monday

[bluesatbirth]

Good but I think you stretched it a bit--becomes repititive--same--same--a little more dynamics--more "snot"--just an ear observation from a sometimes slide player.

[bigjimmyrocker]

right on brother ;9)

[mkauchi]

Amazing is the word. I enjoyed your Slide Guitar music very much!

[zero4092]

please please god let me beable to play this that good ...someday...im 2weeks in and wow .....you give me the drive..thats what i want to do ....you make that six string sing...i envy you and want to emulate u some day....long time commin though...i can do it...just not now...god your good

[zeromaverickhunter11]

nice tune!, and that's a beatiful guitar =)

[TheEnno64]

I like th whole song, but i really like th e last 20 secs.  ; )

[BehindTheWallOfDoom]

too much fucking pluckin' and stopping for me and single notes crap.

[crazyeyeye]

Jeez! Unreal. Beautiful.

Wow!

I created an account and logged in just so I could say that.

[paranorma1palace]

nice tones man, nice sound really liked it, no pissing about and no fret wank, dont think there is a wasted note :) a rarity these days :)

[cljsk]

I like it !!! 

[starmanskye]

OutSTANDING ... You make it look SO down-easy smooth, sassy and laid-back. What's not to love? I'd 2nd (7th?), how amazingly sensual that slide action is, every note a wake-up call to authenticity. The crisp, full-throated depth of your sound is like a long, slow full-mouth kiss, a long sip of aged bourbon, and an unfiltered Virginia, Burley & Turkish-blend cigarette puff -- I'm between awed, delighted and thrilled -- What a good bad-ass blues tune played with grace and passion makes me feel.

[knelsonw]

Wow. Monster heart! Will you please share how you get your tone equipment wise? From your pickups, to any pedals to the amp and speaker. You've definately nailed my Holy Grail! I'm really going to enjoy listening and watching your videos. Thank you for making them available to us!

Very best regards, Kwall

[sixstrings2650]

sweet playing man, very sweet.

[cskatz01]

I like your backings especially on this, def want to download one from that website. Where is the backing coming from though? if its your amp how do you get it to run through there?

[BirdsandTreesMusic]

Amazing =)

Great played with feeling.

We love it! 5/5

[philjit1]

awesome fella. a real pro.

[PeteZuranbeer]

Love your style, Kirk!

Especially the way you make use of your fingers in combination with the slide.

I'm tipping they are heavy gauge strings?

[aripahs]

you are amazing. is that a custom guitar btw? i see no mark from fender and you have a unique sound. i wold like to buy ur instruction book im looking into your website as we speak, two thumbs up!

[treishtrei]

this guitar looks like a piece of furniture. I'd steal it, hang it on the wall and never touch it, so I won't ruin it :x

[jkilcull]

that was/is fantastic...

awesome sound...

[harryfaquad]

Go man go man go man go!!

[mrsdelirium]

Here is very, very stormy Monday now! Oh, you help me survive... :)

This is one of the best what I heard, thank you.

[planetalk]

@StellarCool ... thanks so much, StellarCool, glad you enjoyed it.

[1richards]

do i spy a bonnie raitt signature strat in your hands there?

[planetalk]

@1richards ... No, not really. I took the 'baboon's ass pink' paint off it just after I bought it (second hand) in 1972, brought it back to wood. It's gotten darker over the years.

[1richards]

@planetalk hmm, well either way it looks great.

[bluesdog88]

@planetalk baboons ass pink, love it ;) that's a fender colour I'm not familiar with!!

[PilotDoofy]

@planetalk I love people who aren't afraid to do whatever they want to their guitar. Even if someone else owns it down the road it will always be YOURS for that.

[woodstock3609]

@planetalk its beautiful

[bigdoodsRoCk1242]

Love your playing Kirk! I listen to it over and over again!

What kind of pedal are you using? It sounds absolutely awesome!

[planetalk]

@bigdoodsRoCk1242 ... thanks, mate. I usually dial in a bit of Boss overdrive.

[SONGSTICKS]

Hi Kirk,

I love your slide playing, been listening to it for days now !!

The backing track you used from the link you gave, can you remember what it's called please? I've been looking for something nice n slow to play to.

Cheers

[planetalk]

@SONGSTICKS ... I appreciate the nice feedback, thanks. The BT is called Stormy Monday as I recall. I think there are a couple there.

[MrJammman1]

Played with such style and feeling. You are one heck of a guitarist! I am humbled.

[planetalk]

@MrJammman1 ... thanks!

[utah217]

@MrJammman1 this is superd

[rouge19d]

it almost sounds too clean man

[b2c095]

So is that a hot stack pickup on the neck?

[b2c095]

Kirk I notice you play with your selector in the middle or is it at the in between 2 and 3 position spot?

[planetalk]

@b2c095 ... it's in between the bridge and middle pickups. That's my favorite position.

[oioisexymlaoy]

it could be my eyes but this guitar doesn't look like a normal 6 string. the strings seems really really thick and widely spaced? what guitar is this? love the video

[planetalk]

@oioisexymlaoy ... it's a normal (old) Strat, but you're right: the strings are very heavy. 016 - 018 - 024 (wound) - 034 - 044 - 054. I like 'em like that for slide.

[oioisexymlaoy]

@planetalk cool, cheers man

[TTexas2]

Another great tune with your great style & arrangement. Do you think I could get that good of a sound out of my mint '63 Fender Jaguar? I use the dropped D tuning on my Taylor DDSM for fingerstyle. You have taken it to another level. FIVE STARS

[slideede]

Yeah Yeah Yeah - this kind of slide-guitar you play makes me red in the face - you got the stil of playing I really adore - greetings from slideede

[FarnsbarnsMyall]

excellent as all ways!



[arjhendrix]

Roll on Kirk....wow bro.

screamin' and burnin' on dat neck but no-copy and original. dat tone all ya own.

wow...T-Bone done right. sweet 7 min.shot of bliss.

thank you and did i mention _O_

Peace

[lovestospooge646]

ehh youre no Twiggy Ramirez. But youre decent

[jonsco54]

How do you tune the guitar with dropped down tuning or what's do you do to tune the d string down to what note? I not sure I understand ,,,,can some one some me the tuning?

[planetalk]

@jonsco54 ... I just tune the thick E string down a whole tone to D. The guitar is then tuned DADGBE. 

[BobHurt]

Well, Kirk, I feel inspired at nearly 7 decades to dig way down deep and learn that slide style of yours. I could say a lot, but nothing better than "Thank you." Thanks for all the work over all the years that you have put into learning, mastering, teaching, and inspiring others to play guitar.

[planetalk]

@pierredegroisse ... hi, Pierre. No, I'm afraid I don't have this as tab. It's just an improvisation, so I would play it differently every time.

[planetalk]

@pierredegroisse ... yes, it is. Early 60s.

[HQMatt]

Mighty fine pickin' :) The lick from 0:55 onwards is brilliant.

[jimblues21]

played beautifully Kirk, thanks for that

[GenericAnonymous]

YES

[ArkansasGillum]

Luv it

[xXxEHABISAACxXx]

[marcel12309]

thnx Tim, i'm trying to get a technique of using a slide

Marcel

[RUBYMAIPRODUCTIONSJM]

Reality check here!!!!! One one the best I've seen!!!

Not enough words!

Peace

Jak

[marcel12309]

Thnx for responding so quickly.....I'm hooked .....i'm just beginning to try using a slide .......love all your stuff !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

your #1 Carolina fan

[marcel12309]

Hi.....there's something I can't figure out.......in other words, you play in Dropped D tuning, but the track is in G ?.....I just downloaded the three Backing Tracks.........I only discovered you just recently...thnx for sharing your great talent with us......

Marcel

[planetalk]

@marcel12309 Thanks for listening! Dropped D is good for any key once you get used to it.

[timrogers511]

@marcel12309 Dropped D (DADGBe) is closer to open G (DGDGBd) than it is to open D (DADF#Ad). I jam with a slide to this track all the time in standard (EADGBe). It's just a matter of what you're comfortable with.

[marcel12309]

love this style , your tone and feeling of it all........GREAT !!!!! THNX

[Mariekesone]

GREAT!!!!

[JesseMathews]

I LIKE !, now this is some blues with a feeling Fantastic slide playing man ! :)

[firemountaininc]

Is that the spirit of Duane all man playing, fantastic!

[belleswell]

A beautiful played master class on slide Kirk. Such a throaty, sexy tone you've got with the phrasing and slide work, one would swear you've come back from the crossroads with a signed contract. Simply amazing. Respect,. ratiugsj

[demofactory]

This was/ is great!!!!!!! I love your tone, style, melody, and every thing in between. I could listen all day. Thanks for posting so many great videos.

[fhrussell]

I was just thinking not even an hour ago how I haven't seen any new videos from you lately. I must have ESPN.

Sounds great! Enjoyed it.

[gruveb]

Wow...sounds incredible!

[kleinebudde]

What guitar is that? Looks like a stratocaster but I can't see a brand's name. The brown colour looks very great.

[112358miau]

NIce playing. You make every note relevant. Can I ask u what is better to slide? High or low action?

[TheStratocasterBlues]

@112358miau High! or else ther will be to much buzz^^

[Lansdownekid]

Wow fantastic slide playing there!

[carlos13190]

beautifull

[Qpidon]

Salut Kirk!!

Simply put: you are unmatchable, Kirk: how amazingly sensual that slide of yours... every note is like a wake-up call to authenticity...and it is all beautiful.

Splendid Sliding all the way...

(DArn, wish I could do just a bit of that )

Bon Weekend, Mr. Kirk!
