Fletcher is the kind of player whose credentials speak for themselves. He’s toured and recorded with Joe Bonamassa and The Fabulous Thunderbirds and released a string of critically acclaimed solo records – most recently KEEP ON PUSHING on VizzTone, recorded live in the studio with co-producer JD Simo and a Nashville ensemble drawing on material associated with Big Bill Broonzy, Arthur Crudup and Percy Mayfield. His roots run deep through gospel and traditional blues, and that comes through in how he teaches.
“Every time I pick up a guitar, I play with a whole lot of soul,” Fletcher says. “Texas blues is about feel, story, and tone. I built this guide so players can learn the language of the style and make it their own – note by note, groove by groove.”
The course is structured across three sections – Rhythm, Lead and Full Song – with more than 20 video lessons that move players from foundational grooves through to expressive soloing and complete song performance. Fletcher covers phrasing, tone, dynamics and feel throughout, translating classic Texas blues vocabulary into practical, modern instruction. Close-up technique shots and structured practice paths are built into the Gibson App’s format, making it easy to follow along regardless of your current level.
Texas Blues Legends sits within the Gibson App’s growing library of artist-led courses and joins a platform that pairs guided lessons with real-time feedback. The app is free to download with limited daily lessons, with premium access unlocking the full experience.
As a bonus, customers who purchase any Gibson, Epiphone or Kramer guitar, or a Mesa/Boogie amplifier through Gibson.com or at Gibson Garage Nashville, will receive three months of Gibson App Premium at no cost.
