They are something that you can easily emulate or at least give you wonderful ideas to enhance your own playing.

Joe,

And he has become a huge favorite of mine. A couple pages ago I mentioned the Keeping the Blues Alive at Sea Cruise. That is where I was first exposed to Kirk. In fact, on that cruise Joe Bonamassa had Kirk play rhythm for him. Joe also had him tour on the 3 Kings tour. I got to meet Kirk and he is also a really great guy.

Here is one of Guitar Player magazine's lessons on comping with Kirk:
