World class performance on a namm booth. amazin'

We won't be hearing from Kirk Fletcher for a while -- he's been called to Switzerland where his timing is needed to calibrate the manufactured watches.

the clarity and indisputable talent makes him one of my favorites, Josh Smith is one of the best

I love how happy Kirk always is... He's awesome man, doesn't need all those quick chops, his note choice is superb and he thoroughly enjoys every minute...

*Good GAWWWD, Man!!* Josh Smith has an insane musical vocabulary. His well never seems to run dry, and I _rarely ever_ hear him playing "lazy man's licks." Josh _never_ ceases to amaze me, and he seems to get more superhuman-like every time I see him play. Don't get me wrong, there's definitely no flies on Kirk or Ariel. They're upper echelon players in their own right...., but *come on!!!* I would crawl through a mile of broken glass to have *half* the gift, knowledge and talent Josh has. Very inspiring and depressing at the same time. Me and my guitars are so thankful I don't have a fireplace in my home....

These guys know where to play without playing over each other, that's some serious skills! Can't get tired of this type of playing.

Kirk has that right hand you hear right away

Pure and raw communication is the coolest thing ever

Can't TAKE it. Ariel, Kirk and Josh diggin' a funk trench you'll never want to get out of... how damn funky can 3 cats be. Special shout to Josh who was just on fire and to Ariel who just never seems to run out of completely original, super tasty, super funky (bass and) guitar ideas, sittin DEEP in that pocket. COME on, church.

Its all about Kirk in this one! All the Cornel Dupree licks - Exactly what you want to hear in a jam like this!

It's like a tasteful G3. Immense!

Josh Smith is absolute BEAST!

Ariel Posen is one of my hands down favorite guitarists right now. Great chops, he sings and seems to be the real deal. Great job guys.

I could watch these guys for hours .....

Kirk is the master fo tone more than anything.

I love watching the crowd grow and their expressions change when they realize how great Josh is-they’re all awesome but Josh is on another level

Kirk always seems like he’s having so much fun

That was a special moment there. What a feeling those men created to share with anyone willing to listen!

That Josh Smith solo is possibly the most tasty I ever heard 🙌🏼 hats off mister

They are passing the riffs from one to another soooo smoothly...Great musicians all three of them!!!

All 3 of these gentlemen are insanely talented musicians but that goes without saying. Kirk Fletcher inspires me so much with his world class rhythm and his note choices. Josh inspires me by being able to find new phrases through different styles. Ariel inspires me with his incredible bends and phrasing as well. I hope to one day meet these gentlemen and play with them.

World class players. It doesn't get much better than this.

Hell yes. This is a great trio!

You three are so entertaining and fun to watch! :)

Love the guitars and love all 3 players. Fantastic musicians!

Masters having a blast!!!! Gosh i really enjoy these guys personality

my ears just melted... what a delight.

nearly 10 mins of pure magic

Three wonderful artists having fun together for our pleasure, love it

Man those pickups are smooth.

Its so nice to hear tasty smooth playing such as this. The more I see of Josh Smith I'm astounded by his completeness as a player. Reminds me of Joe Pass with his rhythm and lead playing always carrying the tune so you know what's going on. His rhythm chops are what blew me away here, he is pretty much carrying the tune in the background for everyone, take him out and you lose what's special about this jam. A Complete player, you don't see that much anymore these days, it's refreshing. Love cats like that and man I'm digging Josh Smith currently, dude can hold it down.

The jam of the monsters.....really pleasant to hear from beginning to end...

words aren't enough to describe this amazing performance and the breathtaking sounds u guys nailed it this is one good quality jam with brilliant guitarists i love you all

Always love seeing guitarists find a groove when playing together. Kinda like singers in harmony.

Great humble musicians.

Been waiting for these ... Cheers!

so much talent here!

Talk about a dream team.. amazing playing!!🔥

Legends!

Cosmic bliss!

Watching this could be used in a happiness therapy, AWESOME 😃

I was at NAMM 2018, but somehow I missed this gem of a performance. Thanks for posting it.

Epic! The best up and coming talent in the world today. Much respect.

Need more of this ❤

Beautiful.

no words! just amazing and inspiring both players and instruments and if i can come back for another life i want to be Josh Smith - wow what a player:)

So much talent, so much fun.

Aw,simply awesome : all three a joy to listen to,not just technique,but feeling for what they were doing. Ever pitch up in Scotland : I'll be there.Ian Morrison

I love this so much

Just so sweet....and I gotta say Ariel’s base line/rythym really kept things smooth as.....well pretty smooth

Brilliant, what talent and all having a ball playing one of the world's premier guitar makers guitars. I'm sure Bill Collings was looking down smiling.

I love Ariel's playing so much, but Josh is just a mutant on steroids from some other planet.

man, soooo good!

10 minutes of joy

I wish I could pick up a guitar at a music store and sound HALF as good as any of these guys. Hot diggidy! Killer playing

fantastic!

10 minutes of pure pleasure.

josh is a beast....

Incredible

wonderful. such class

Amazing!!! I was getting ready to hear Ariel playing slide then he puts it away!!!😭😭

kirk for president!!

Music the way it should be played and as intended!!!

Josh Smith has musicality oozing from his fingertips, so good. They all do but if I had to pick a favourite it’d be him.

All I can say is that was amazing!

Lots of talent right there. Great rhythm chops by all. Plus the obvious...

Josh Smith was killing guitar, such a great blues player

goddamn outstanding. the masters of their instrument

holy frick. fricken awesome

All three are great but my personal favourite is Josh Smith - there is no limit to this guy no matter what style: Jazz/Country/Blues...etc and everything is SO on POINT!

SON! All that talent and if you saw those guys on the street you would never look twice.. The joy on there faces!

pure gold

7:33 Watch the moment all three empathically align.

ariel master at work

brilliant

Josh is the Jazz Blues king. That's for sure!

Jesus Christ!!! Lord have mercy!!! This is amazing!!! Wow!!!

After Josh's jam Ariel was like...why did no one clap for me?

These guys are where it's at! Three completely different individuals, that can jam together seamlessly. Now that's class, no egos you can see if there is. Talent and respect, so cool. This , crosscut saw is there more? I hope so, thanks guys for laying it down

some musicians are born with matching feeling with what they are hearing and it just flows naturally right out their hands......

Such different styles. Kirk is right in the box to perfection, Ariel is capable of going so outside the box you can see him reigning himself in to fit in more, and Josh is a mix of the two with more country influence.

these boys are definitely good!

Deeply impressive chops from Mr. Smith here.

Joy!

Esse ritmo é minha praia ,thank you

Damn! Great stuff!

Josh is on fire in this video!

Aw mate this is sweet one of your early mentors said you had the knack man I believe X

Josh Smith for President! President of Funkland!!

Ain't it amazing what you can do with a 1 4 5 :) Been a long time fan of Kirk and Josh. Now I have to check out Ariel as well. So many great players these days.

Geez Louise. Great music and beautiful guitars. What else do you need?

Funk dripping with soul man I would love to be in this pull

YEAH! THANKS

OMG Josh Smith is unbelievably good.

Great masters

That is one bad ass jam. Had me poking my head all over like a bird

Smith for the win!! Sick stuff 😎

josh smith is fucking cleannnn

Dang! This video is awesome, but I bet it must have been even better for the guy filming. P.s. that I-30 Josh is playing sounds killer. 🤘🤩🤘

Got the same NB shoes as Kirk...a good way to start 😂!!!!
