Gibson—the name behind generations of iconic sound—invites you to turn up the tone with the Gibson App’s newest release: Texas Blues Legends with Kirk Fletcher. Whether you’re a bedroom player or a seasoned stage veteran, the Gibson App makes it easy to master Texas Blues. This immersive three‑part course—Rhythm, Lead, and Full Song—delivers more than 20 high‑quality video lessons that guide players step‑by‑step from foundational grooves to expressive soloing and complete song performance, all while connecting you to a global community of blues players.
“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.”
Kirk Fletcher stands among the most respected voices in modern blues. A GRAMMY®-nominated collaborator and first‑call sideman for artists from Joe Bonamassa to The Fabulous Thunderbirds, he’s earned praise from Guitar World, Guitar Player, and Living Blues for his rare combination of taste, tone, and deep musicality. His solo work—including the acclaimed Heartache By-The-Pound—highlights his soulful vocals, searing bends, and roots in gospel and traditional blues. Fletcher continues to broaden that expressive range with standout new projects, such as “Cold Cold Feeling,” a slow‑burning duet with powerhouse vocalist Erika Baier that pairs his masterful guitar work with her rich, emotive delivery. His latest album, KEEP ON PUSHING (VizzTone), created with co-producer JD Simo and a dream team of Nashville players, captures the immediacy of classic “live in the studio” sessions. The set draws from songs associated with Big Bill Broonzy, Arthur Crudup, and Percy Mayfield, alongside Fletcher originals and a Robert Nighthawk tribute co-written with Simo. That commitment to honesty, feel, and musical storytelling is at the heart of every lesson in this guide.
Designed for beginners and intermediate players alike, Texas Blues Legends pairs Kirk Fletcher’s decades of stage and studio experience with clear, hands-on instruction. Each section breaks the style into digestible modules, so students can lock in rhythm patterns, expand lead vocabulary, and then combine those elements into full arrangements. Fletcher shares practical tips on phrasing, tone, dynamics, and feel, translating classic Texas blues language into playable, modern lesson
