Hi, I'm Aaron Jaxon. A guitarist, recording artist and online guitar instructor who helps guitar players develop their country and bluegrass guitar playing skills
Tell me if this sounds familiar......
You've been playing guitar for a few years. Maybe a few decades even.
And your pretty damn good too.
But You've Always Wanted To Get Into Country "Chicken Picking" Guitar.
You've maybe heard someone like Brad Paisley, Vince Gill, Brent Mason, or Johnny Hiland and thought "gosh I'd love to be able to play like that."
The twang, the pick and finger technique, the double stops and pedal steel guitar influence really spoke to you. You feel like you would have really arrived if you could pick like those great players.
So you jumped in and started trying to learn this style.
Maybe you looked up some YouTube videos to try and get started. You keep hearing about "Double Stops" and "Hybrid Picking"
But........
It feels disjointed when your playing this stuff. Your having trouble putting it all together to make it sound like really killer country guitar.
You don't feel like your fluent in the language of this style of playing.
Trust me.......I've been there
When I first started playing this style: I didn't even know where to start. I knew that string bends, double stops and hybrid picking (playing with a pick and finger combination) were essential but I didn't know what ideas to learn to get this style down.
Quick Story........
I was 16 years old and living in my hometown of Quitman TX. I had gotten serious about playing guitar. I was into Stevie Ray Vaughan, Eric Johnson and Eddie Van Halen. I'd practice my scales between 4-6 hours per day. And yeah.....I had a bit of an ego.
Then one day, I was working on a construction site during the summer between my junior and senior year of high school and the song "Summertime Blues" by Alan Jackson came on the radio that the plumber kept on all day.
I thought, "yeah I could totally play this song. No problem."
But Then I Heard The Guitar Solo On That Song (played by Brent Mason)
I was blown away. A bit depressed actually. Because here was the thing: In all that time I had spent practicing:
I Had NO IDEA What He Was Playing.
Like not even a clue.
But I HAD to figure it out.
Mind you: this was the early 2000s.
There Was No YouTube, Instagram or Online Courses To Purchase To Learn This Stuff.
Fortunately for you, I've condensed the past 20 years of learning, playing and teaching this style into an easy to follow online course and that's why I'm here with you today.

The Country Guitar Essentials program isn't going to bog you down with a lot of fancy sounding music theory or conceptual language that's way over your head
I wanted the lessons in this course to feel like your coming to my guitar studio for lessons each week (or day!)
I teach this course in a very accessible, laid back and straight to the point manner
The path is already traced, simplified and optimized for you. You only have to start and follow each step in front of you.
And because this process is so powerful, I can charge over $3000 to teach it to my one-on-one students.
All the knowledge contained in the Country Guitar Essentials Program would take at least 1 year of regular and dedicated private lessons to cover all the material.
At an average rate of $62.50$ per lesson (250$ monthly), even if you took only one private lesson each week for a year, it would add up to $3000.
But when I decided to package my system into a course that anyone could follow, at their own pace, I wanted to make it as accessible as possible.
You can join Country Guitar Essentials for only 197$
Get Started!No risk, 60-days money-back guarantee, no questions asked.
I’ve packed a lot into the Country Guitar Essentials course because not only do I want you to become the country guitar master that you deserve to be, but I want to guarantee that you don’t fail.

For less than what most people pay for a monthly cell phone bill, you can learn hundreds of new ideas and unlock so many options on the guitar
Wouldn't it be worth it to make a small investment in your playing that will pay off in so, so many ways?
As guitar players, we are used to spending thousands & thousands of dollars on equipment over the years (guitars, pedals, amps, speakers, software, studio gear, cables, strings...), and sometimes we forget about investing to actually become better at playing guitar!
The Country Guitar Essentials course is the perfect occasion for you to expand your knowledge & your abilities on the instrument, so you can finally reach country guitar mastery.
Imagine a year from today...
Imagine a year from today when you’ll be knowing and mastering a wealth of country licks, techniques, solos and ideas. Your friends will be impressed and you’ll be very confident about your guitar playing.
Imagine sitting down and having more ideas than ever to come up with your own leads, and solos thanks to the abundance of knowledge you've acquired
If you don’t act, everything is going to stay the same. You will play the same scales, licks and patterns with the same level of technique and you will feel stuck and uninspired.
It doesn’t have to be this way!
You can do this - Country Guitar doesn't have to be impossible to learn. Let me simplify it for you. I’m proof that it’s possible and I’m here to coach you every step of the way and make your life easier!
