Yeah Kirk so many blues styles to learn from and their different artist. I keep a "to learn" list that grows faster than I can get them down. But the good thing is one informs the other so it gets easier, not to mention fun...I study your mojo of course. I also stumbled across a vid of Hendrix and Stephen Stills🤯. Also, I couldn't help but notice that mighty fine silver sky. I would be interested in any thoughts on where it fits in your collection

@kirkfletcher2845 4 жыл бұрын

Me too with the list, honestly I just really am impressed with the company PRS and and the silver sky is just fun to play. With the whole Covid thing I had a long time to think about what I’m looking for in a guitar mainly live. I have lots of ideas on guitars and I’m a vintage guitar lover, but I also like modern design to a certain point. The guitar is a beautiful tool to get you music across, so I like to not think about it and just think about the music ❤️

Hey Kirk , I know you don't answer alot of comments, but was wondering what kind of advise if any you can give me on the fact that I have very big hands , I've been playing for many years , but sometimes I feel as though I'm at a bit of a disadvantage, from what I see you have big hands as well, any thoughts on that ?
