Dupree Groove in E
”This performance study is my tribute to the late great Cornell Dupree. The main riff is using call and response and it’s time to get funky as I play the song down. Make sure to keep an eye on the right hand! Many concepts are covered in the breakdown: I’ll discuss keeping a loose right hand, singling out certain notes in the chords and slight bends to the chords. I’ll also talk about using open strings and left-hand muting.”

Two Steps Forward Ab
”Attitude is the name of the game here! Let’s look at one of my latest tunes in this performance study. The right and left-hand muting play a big part in this lesson. I’ll perform this song to give you a sense of the groove and feel. We’ll break down each part of the song. I’ll talk about using force with the right hand while letting certain notes in the chord ring out. Also, we’ll look at doubling the bass line to add attitude.”

El Medio Stomp
”This performance study is a rocking tune from a few years ago that has become somewhat of a trademark of mine. In some ways, this song is a tribute to the great Stevie Ray Vaughan, married with a soul vibe. In the breakdown, I cover double stops, slight bends, and further address the call and response. More muting will be addressed.”

Kirk’s Slow Blues
”In this performance study, we’ll talk about how I approach a slow blues. One thing to consider is varying it depending on the band size. I refer to it as my “bread and butter” slow blues groove. One thing that’s had a big influence on my slow blues rhythm playing was growing up playing Gospel music. We’re focusing in on playing a rhythm that creates a nice bed and how to swing the parts. I’ll show you a rhythm part that somewhat continues motion to create a nice pad for the singer or soloist. Sort of like what you would hear from an organ player.”

Butt Rockin’ Shuffle in E
”In this performance study, I give you the bread and butter groove found in modern Texas blues. Think Fabulous Thunderbirds, SRV, ZZ Top, Johnny Winter! In this performance, it’s important to add swagger and attitude to your rhythm parts. At the same time, you have to keep a relaxed right hand. I break down right and left-hand muting. I’ll give you different examples of this groove and show you how to use all downstrokes for more attitude.”

Mr Rogers Groove G Capo
”In this performance study, I talk about the great Chicago bluesman Jimmy Rogers. Get your capo ready and lets visit the Windy City! We’ll play in the style of Chicago bluesman Jimmy Rogers and go over some of the things I did in the previous performance here: fingerstyle, the illusion of two parts, using a capo and little pick up notes in the chords to name a few.”

Shoe On The Other Foot Groove C
”In this performance study, I’ll talk about a funky blues and talk about some of the musicians I heard play this groove. It’s my way of joining a New Orleans groove and a Bo Diddley beat together. Time to get funky! Here we’re using a call and response technique in a funky context. It’s all about finding your space in the groove on this one. I talk about the importance of the right hand and targeting certain notes in the chords and what I feel really makes this groove really feel good.”

Kirk’s Signature Shuffle
”In my opinion, the shuffle is the essence of the blues. In this performance study, I share with you some of the concepts I’ve picked up over my 25 years of playing the shuffle. In this performance, I’ll give you a chance to see how I play a shuffle in context. I use simple chord shapes to add impact. I cover how to make the rhythm parts swing. I also talk about really getting parts engrained in your mind.”

Sonny Boy Groove in A
”This groove is so important to what we think of as modern blues. It incorporates a swing feel as well giving you another option when playing a shuffle. We put the emphasis on swinging the part and keeping the whole part relaxed. I’ll chop up the left-hand part and show you what I’m doing there, and we’ll talk about the great bluesmen that played in this style.”

Little Sadie Groove in Bb
”This groove is Chicago blues at it’s finest. It’s one of the most popular grooves in this style. In this performance study, I show you the groove and feel of this lesson. Keep in mind, you have to stay relaxed! I talk about right and left-hand ideas as well as muting/call and response. We’ll also go through a few variations on the groove.”

Kirk will explain and demonstrate all of the key concepts and approaches along the way. You’ll get standard notation and tabs for each of the performances. Plus, Kirk includes all of the backing tracks for you to work with on your own.
