Does This Sound Familiar?

 

You've been playing the guitar for a long time. 

 

And hey: you're pretty dang good too.

 

But you've been feeling stuck for a while. 

 

You're playing the same old chords, songs, licks and scale patterns and things don't seem to be getting better. 

 

You hear your favorite players: Doc Watson, Clarence White, Norman Blake, Tony Rice, Bryan Sutton or Billy Strings and wonder:

 

Will I ever sound anything at all like them?

 

I promise: you're not alone.  

 

And it doesn't have to be this way 

To Really Improve And Grow As A Guitarist, You Need A Few Things

 

Content to learn from and build your guitar playing "vocabulary"

 

Awareness of your ability and skill level so you'll know what to practice to get to the next level in your playing 

 

A practice routine that you consistently stick to to "oil the machinery" of your guitar playing skills

 

Personalized feedback from a teacher or mentor who can see the blind spots that you can't

 

Other musicians to interact with, learn from and grow  with

 

The great news is, it's absolutely possible have access to and develop all of these skills in today's environment, given the amount of technology and information out there available to everyone and anyone! 

 

In fact, this is exactly what I try to help you with in my YouTube and social media content every single week: giving you exactly what you need to get one step closer to developing the guitar skills you've always dreamed of.

 

Heck, if you've already picked up one of my courses, you definitely understand the importance of having a structured approach to take you from A-Z, leaving no stone unturned. 

But Here's What I've Found

Most people go through some free content or an online course, and try to figure out the rest on their own

When they start asking (really good) questions including:

  • What are my strengths/ weaknesses? 
  • What should I be working on to get to the next level in my playing? 
  • How is my timing?
  • How do I build speed/ technique?
  • I've been practicing consistently for a while now but my progress is SO slow. Am I doing something wrong?
  • I'm losing motivation. What should I do? 

They don't know who to turn to!

Sure, there are countless forums and groups online dedicated to guitar playing, but the amount of conflicting information, inflated egos, and overall toxicity in many of them render them practically useless, and may leave you feeling even more overwhelmed than you already were. 

It's Incredibly Difficult To Improve When You're All By Yourself. 

 

I say all this because I've seen it with my own eyes. I've seen aspiring guitar pickers with a burning passion and a desire to create great music, but as they work and work on their own, not knowing who to turn to, who they can trust, ask for feedback, and collaborate with, they become resentful, and eventually lose the love for the guitar and music altogether. 

It's so hard to improve as a guitarist and truly know you're on the right track when you're working by yourself all the time. 

And even if you have people you can connect with, how many of them play the styles that you love? How many of these people actually understand what you're going through and can offer advice that you can trust?

 

With An Ever Growing List Of Questions From My Students, Requests For Feedback & Coaching, And Aspiring Guitar Pickers Entering The Scene On A Daily Basis, I Knew Something Had To Be Done.

 

In addition to personalized coaching and feedback, my students needed their own space; a community of warm, encouraging, like-minded guitarists who they could turn to whenever they needed help, encouragement and accountability. 

 

A place where they could receive trusted feedback on their playing, personalized coaching from myself, and fresh consistent content to help them with their guitar playing journey, every single month. 

 

Over this past year, I set out to create the perfect solution that solves this exact problem, and this solution is exactly what I'm about to share with you.

 

If you're ready to take command of your guitar playing for good , I'd like to welcome you to the Picker's Insider Circle.

 

A tight knit community of bluegrass and country guitar pickers striving to improve their skills with community, feedback and encouragement 

ENROLL NOW FOR INSTANT ACCESS

So What's Included?

 

This community is comprised of 3 core pillars: a private online community of like-minded guitar pickers, live Q&A coaching calls with me, and fresh monthly masterclasses on topics ranging from technique, to building speed, repertoire, improvisation, timing, and more. As a bonus, you also have access to the Picker's Feedback Corner, where you can submit your playing for feedback anytime, plus monthly  challenges. 

 

Pillar #1: The Exclusive Picker's Insider Circle Community

 
This online community is built like a Facebook group, but without any of the annoying ads, distractions, and trolls. This is where conversations are happening each and every day, and where I'm interacting with you to make sure you're on the right path, keeping you accountable, and sharing new updates on the regular. 
 
But in addition to me, you'll have access to the rest of the community as well! Remember, this group is for the positive, passionate, and hungry guitarist, so inside you'll find an entire community excited to cheer you on and help you achieve your goals. 
 
 

Pillar #2: Fresh Masterclass Trainings

 
Every single month, I'll upload a brand new masterclass covering a specific topic. These can range from technique, timing, scales, arpeggios, theory, speed building, breakdowns of specific solos, rhythm, improvisation and much more. I'll also be sharing my personal practice routines with you!!
 
You can think of these trainings as mini online courses, so it's like you have a brand new course to watch each month! 
 
 

Pillar #3: Live Q&A Coaching Calls

 
Nothing is more beneficial than being able to ask questions in an open, encouraging, and supportive environment and receiving customized feedback to help you on your journey. 
 
Every month, I'll host a live Q&A call where you can share any questions you may have and receive personalized coaching. And if for some reason you're unable to attend the call, no worries!  You can submit any questions you have and I will answer them on the call. The calls are all recorded and uploaded to the community for viewing. 
 
 

BONUS: Picker's Feedback Corner (share your playing anytime!) 

 
One of the core reasons I started this membership and community was not only to give my students regular access to me, but also because they needed personalized coaching and critique on their playing. 
 
Picker's Feedback Corner is an area of the membership where you can submit your playing (in audio or preferably video form) for feedback, not only from myself, but from the entire community! It's a friendly space to gather suggestions and take actionable steps to improve, knowing that the feedback is coming from the right place, and every member wants you to succeed.

This Is My First Time Launching A Community Like This And I'm So Excited To Invite You To Be A Part Of It

 

That being said, I've been teaching full time since 2006 and my ability to make a living has been dependent on getting my students results. 

 

Listen to what a few of my current and former students had to say about working with me

Billy Rosewarne-Seattle WA

"Aaron taught me the basics of flat picking, the absolute standard fiddle tunes that every Bluegrasser needs to know, and inspired me to new levels of excitement for my guitar.
If you want to play Bluegrass, understand the craft, and are willing to do the work, Aaron Jaxon will transform you from water to wine.
Don't miss this chance to study with Aaron. He will show you the way."

Samuel Anderson-Knoxville TN

"In the past 6 months of working with Aaron, I can honestly say I've learned more about playing guitar that the previous 15 years combined. My knowledge on the guitar continues to expand so I’m able to pickup songs quicker and more consistently. Aaron’s patience and attention to detail are two things that stand out the most about his teaching style. Not to mention it feels like he knows every song you could ever want to learn! I look forward to lessons every week and seeing where my guitar playing will go in the future working with him.”

 

Sarah Beth Lovell-Kingsport TN 

"I've taken music lessons my whole life and Aaron is one of the finest teachers I’ve ever had. He really knows how to teach transferable skills and that is rare. I recommend him to everyone I can."

Mark O'Dell-Bristol TN

"Aaron is an exceptionally gifted guitar player who also happens to be an incredible teacher. He is a patient and conscientious instructor who incorporates kindness and enthusiasm into his lessons. Aaron makes difficult concepts and techniques easily understandable. My guitar playing improves weekly thanks to Aaron."

Get Your Guitar Playing Questions Answered On Our Monthly Q&A Coaching Calls!

 

And while you certainly don't have to, feel free to bring your guitar so I can give you a "mini-lesson" on the call. Or just bring any questions you have that are guitar or music related. These coaching calls give you personalized access to me, so you can take what you learn and apply it instantly to your journey.

 

Reach Out To The Community For Feedback, Support, And Encouragement!

 

The best way to learn is to interact with others who are in the same space as you. The community is a space where you can share anything on your mind, ask any questions you like, and share your knowledge with others! 

I've Had Well Over A Thousand Students Pick Up My Online Courses Over The Past 2 Years

 

This community is a great companion to my online courses as you get feedback, encouragement and accountability as you work through the course content.

 

Listen to what some of my online course students are saying:

 

"I own quite a few online guitar courses (truefire, ect)....I came across Aaron's courses while internet browsing....I own both his Flatpicking Mastery and Country Guitar Essentials courses....Aaron's enthusiasm, attention to detail and guitar chops are beyond compare...The courses are sequential, but if you want to skip around and cherry pick, you can do that too. In my opinion, Aaron's courses on bluegrass and country guitar are the best out there...If you are so inclined, buy them...You won't be sorry...."

 

John Duzik- Flatpicking Mastery Student

 

"Before I discovered Flat Picking Mastery I was floating aimlessly in the cosmos of YouTube videos and various other bluegrass courses with no real sense of direction. Aaron's Flat Picking Mastery provided me with a course of instruction that is very well organized and focused. When you practice through the fundamentals and lead ideas Aaron teaches in the order he suggests, you will undoubtedly unlock the skills needed to proceed to play the fiddle tunes and instrumental modules. I personally spend a lot of time in the "Getting Started - Flatpicking Fundamentals" module of the course and it is paying off bigtime. You will find Aaron is a very personable and engaging instructor with an obvious passion for making you the best guitarist you can be, and he draws from a very deep well of experience. In my opinion Flat Picking Mastery is the most reasonably priced course out there for the quality of instruction and amount of content you get to get you up and running in this style of playing bar none. It's the real deal!"

Chris Kline - Flatpicking Mastery Student

 

"I’ve been playing guitar for many years and to be honest I’m not bad but I hit a point where I wasn’t making any progress with my playing.
When I saw Aaron Jaxon’s video I knew it was the next step that I needed. If I could play half as well as him I would be happy! I signed up immediately. The instruction has increased my playing speed, given me new ways to approach picking, and allowed me to tackle material I would have thought was beyond my abilities.
Also Aaron keeps sending extra instruction beyond the course at no charge. It’s sort of like once you are one of his students you are part of his playing family. He’s really generous with his teaching.
I really appreciate what this course has allowed me to accomplish. I highly recommend it for any player who wants to get out of a musical rut. It was just what I needed."
 
Rob Hawkes- Flatpicking Mastery Student

 

Dan Hall- Flatpicking Mastery Student

 

“If your a guitarist who is looking for a bluegrass flatpicking guitar course that gets right down to the "meat and potatoes" then this course is for you. It's all hands on training with great videos, tablature, and words of encouragement from Aaron every step of the way. If you apply yourself you'll see definate improvement in your guitar playing skills that you'll be very pleased with and will serve you well for many years to come”

 

Tim Gregory-Flatpicking Mastery Student

 

"I've been looking for a bluegrass course like this for a long time. It really has a huge amount of information that will give me some new chops immediately but also leave many goodies to unpack for months to come. It really is a game changer for me and you can't go wrong with it if you want to improve your bluegrass guitar playing."

Francois Besseyrias- Flatpicking Mastery Student

 

“I came across Aaron on TikTok while checking out this app my 14 yr old was spending so much time on. And man, was it good. He had the chops and musical open mindedness I was looking for. So I decided to sign up for his course. I've only gone through maybe a handful of topics and videos, but I already feel I got my money’s worth. You get everything you need to build a solid bluegrass flatpicking guitar culture from the basics and up. Really great stuff!” 

Get Your Solos And Leads Reviewed By Myself And The Other Members!

 

Working on a tune, solo, lead or idea and need some help along the way? Working hard but want some general feedback? With the "Picker's Feedback Corner", you can submit your solos/leads anytime, and I will give you personalized feedback, customized to your needs.

Ultimately, What We Want Is Simple...

 

At the end of the day, we play the guitar to express ourselves, deepen our love of real roots music, and experience the "flow state" of being completely absorbed in the moment when playing guitar

Because practicing is such an intimate process, it's no surprise that many guitar players prefer working on their own, huddled up in their bedrooms and never sharing their playing with other people. 

However, that ends up stunting our musical and personal growth, because we lack the connection and community of other like-minded musicians doing exactly what we're doing, and striving for the same thing.

We also end up losing objectivity over our playing, and without a support system or a mentor to guide you along the way, it's so easy to feel overwhelmed and lost in the process!  

But it certainly doesn't have to be this way, and I've created this community to be THE place you turn to whenever you have a question, want some feedback on your music, or personal access to me. 

Along with these core components of the monthly content, live coaching calls, and exclusive community, I've also set up the 3 Stages Of Guitar Playing Growth to help you identify where you are on your guitar picking journey:

Aaron's Picker's Insider Circle Community is rooted in the 3 Guitar Playing Stages That I Have Named:

 

 

Each stage outlines certain key landmarks so you can identify exactly where you are in your guitar picking journey. By taking advantage of everything this community has to offer, you can easily make your way to The Advanced (High Flyer) Stage! 

The Picker's Insider Circle Community Is For You If:

  • You're a hobbyist guitar player looking to seriously improve your playing, and even perhaps take your skills to a professional level!
  • You're motivated and willing to put in the work to make your vision a reality
  • You want access to a community of like-minded musicians who will encourage, support, and cheer you on every step of the way
  • You're ready to step up your guitar playing game once and for all and master the necessary skills for guitar domination! 

This Is NOT For You If:

  • You expect results without putting in the effort and the time. I can't promise you anything if you don't put your best foot forward.
  • You don't apply yourself to helping others along their journey. The best way to improve is not only to ask questions and receive help, but also to share your expertise and knowledge with others along the way. Because this is a community, we should all be contributing to one another's success. 

So How Much Will The Picker's Insider Circle  Community Cost Me?

 

I'm sure by this point, you're asking yourself how much of an investment this will be.

For years, my rate for local guitar lessons was 60$ for an hour or 40$ for a half hour. For weekly lessons it was 160$ monthly (half hour) and 240$ monthly (hour)
 
These days, I charge 150$ for a one on one hour lesson and 100$ for a 30 min lesson
 
But I wanted to make this a no-brainer for you, and as accessible to the aspiring composer as possible, so you won't pay $1000, or even $100.
 
 

Since this is the initial launch of this community I'm offering you the "Early Bird Founders Rate" rate of $27/month!

 

 
You will have complete access to the Picker's Insider Circle Community, Masterclasses, and Live Coaching calls for just $27/month. Plus you can keep this rate (I WILL be increasing it in the future) for as long as you are in the community. 

Want More Exclusive Access To Me? Get The Platinum Version Of The Picker's Insider Circle Membership

 

 For just $20 ($47 monthly) more dollars per month, you'll get access to the community, masterclasses, and live calls PLUS you can submit your playing privately via video and I'll respond with feedback, suggestions and encouragement.

 

I get it: not everyone is comfortable uploading videos of their playing publicly. Even with a deliberately curated community of positive guitarists, not everyone feels comfortable doing that.

 

That being said: everyone DOES need feedback on their playing so....

 

If you'd like to be able to submit your playing to me PRIVATELY (once per month) than join up with the PLATINUM version of the Picker's Insider Circle Membership
