What Students Are Saying

“Jaxon called me a week before my lesson and asked what I wanted out of it. He then tailored his lessons for my specifically, giving me the music theory that I needed for my goal while also focusing on the guitar aspect of it, giving me valuable, actionable feedback that I’ve used. In only two lessons I feel far more comfortable at the fret board than I used to (I came in after several years of self teaching)”

Andrew, USA

Private Student

“Jaxon is an amazing teacher. I love his attention to the details of doing things correctly. His own playing is so very musical and as a teacher he emphasizes expression as much as technique. He’s fun to work with and always supportive. After each lesson he sends an email that organizes my practice sessions for the upcoming week - what to practice and what to pay attention to while playing, everything we discussed in the lesson. It makes me eager to practice because I’m never unclear about how to approach it. I struck gold with Jaxon as my teacher.”

April Martin, New York

Private Student

“Very great teacher! Extremely knowledgable on traditional and nouveau flamenco techniques. Appears very committed to the student and willing to spend time out of the sessions to make instructional videos on the material for the student to practice with. Very friendly as well!”

Phillip Silva, USA

Private Student

“I am extremely happy with my first five lessons. Jaxon has tailored the instruction well to my short-term goals: building a strong theoretical foundation, understanding compositional approaches and methodologies, and preparing to create my own compositions and arrangements. Each lesson includes a detailed analysis of a piece, followed by a composition or arrangement exercise that reinforces its main techniques and is reviewed at the next lesson. The exchange of ideas and practical exercises have helped me learn something fun and interesting every time. I highly recommend Jaxon as a music theory instructor.”

David, California

Private Student

“It goes without saying that Jaxon is an outstanding teacher - I think that anyone who studies with him would agree. Both Jaxon’s verbal instruction and his playing demonstrations are clear and well articulated. His ability to select interesting repertoire seems limitless, for even an advanced student such as myself. He will guide you with techniques and tips while also keeping in consideration your own interests and goals.”

Cameron Robello, Tempe AZ

Private Student

“Initially, I received the quintessential guitar lessons, complete with classical guitar exercises. I then developed an affinity for classical guitar, but I couldn’t journey further into the style because my training was limited. I can happily say that I have not only been able to overcome my plateau but also found the teacher who can shape me into the guitarist I aspire to be. I’m being taught via video chat but the lessons are nothing short of insightful. Your dedication as a student with Jaxon will take you far. Take the first lesson and you’ll see!”

Kylie, Arizona

Private Student

“What I’ve seen from Jaxon after a few lessons is that he is very attentive to detail and takes his craft seriously. He focuses on fundamentals and watches your technique carefully and makes sure to correct them when he sees you drift back into bad habits. He is very personable and flexible as well. I would highly recommend without reservations.”

Loreto Sulit, Arizona

Private Student

“I started playing classical guitar for fun years ago, but I lived in such remote areas that finding a teacher was nearly impossible. Fortunately, after moving to Tempe, I connected with Jaxon. He is a patient instructor who never makes you feel bad if you have not had enough time to practice. Rather than showing off his impressive playing ability, he focuses his attention entirely on the student. His flexible teaching style helped me translate the musical knowledge I already had to the classical guitar. If you follow his methods, you will be amazed by how quickly you improve. I highly recommend Jaxon to anyone interested in playing classical guitar.”

Eric Hanson, Arizona

Private Student

“Jaxon is awesome! He teaches at my level, is patient and very knowledgeable. His techniques and feedback is always useful and helping me improve. He provides written feedback and lesson plans that keep me on track and moving forward. I highly recommend.”

Jay, New Jersey

Private Student

“Jaxon is great! Always incredibly patient with my flamenco development. He also gives plenty of material for you to work on at home, so you’re never not sure what you have to work on. Overall, if you want to improve quickly and learn the right way, you can’t go wrong with Jaxon.”

Brandon, Los Angeles

Private Student

“Jaxon is an excellent guitarist but also a great educator and communicator. My son’s guitar skills have significantly improved since he began lessons thanks to Jaxon’s instruction. We highly recommend him as a teacher.”

John Tartaglia, Glendale

Music Producer & Private Student

“Always learn a lot and have a great time with Jaxon. Highlight of my week, I’m looking forward to my next lesson!”

Rio Root, Los Angeles

Music Producer & Private Student

“Very good instructor. Excellent communication skills and very talented. My first lesson he did a very good job of refreshing my memory as someone who has been out of the music world for 13 years. Look forward to more sessions with JW.”

Alan Parijanlar, USA

Private Student

“Jaxon is amazing. This is exactly the structure I was looking for in a guitar teacher.”

Derek Kroshus, Nevada

The Progress Problem

Most players are not stuck because they lack talent.
What they lack is a clear path.

You watch lessons, learn parts of songs, collect tips and tabs, and practice when you can. But it still feels like you are wandering.

Common signs of being stuck

  1. You are not sure what to practice next

  2. You jump from song to song

  3. Your technique feels inconsistent

  4. You do not know where you stand

  5. You feel like you should be further along

You do not need more scattered information. You need structure, feedback, and a clear musical finish line.

Not another pre-recorded course.

Most pre-recorded courses often leave you alone with the hardest parts

  1. Pacing that is too slow, too fast, or not right for you

  2. No teacher watching your hands

  3. No help when something does not click

  4. No deadline to keep you moving

  5. No clear finish line

Play It Through is live, personal, and adaptable. You will get a teacher, a group, a schedule, personal feedback, a 6-week reset, and a musical goal that pulls everything together.

Introducing: Play It Through

Live teaching, guided labs, personal feedback, song matching, and a clear path forward.

This is a hands-on intensive. You will not just watch lessons. You will play, ask questions, get feedback, and work through music with guidance.

Inside Play It Through, you will get:

  • 6 weeks of live instruction with Jaxon

  • Personalized song matching

  • Weekly workshops, technique labs, and fretboard labs

  • Masterclass coaching and video feedback

  • Course music, private community, Practice Pilot support, and final recital

The course is built around three main weekly experiences:

Masterclasses

Live coaching where students get personal feedback and learn from each other’s real musical challenges.

Workshops

A live weekly training that gives you the bigger-picture strategy behind your guitar progress.

Open Mic + Hang

An optional weekly social hour to play for each other, talk guitar, and build confidence in a relaxed, supportive group.

Guitar Bootcamps

Hands-on technique and fretboard labs to build the skills behind your songs.

McKinley Arnett

“As a college student formally studying classical guitar, I can say that these are exactly the kinds of tips my instructor emphasizes, especially slow and mindful practice. We are also encouraged to practice mentally by visualizing the music and finger movements as clearly as possible. After years of learning guitar through trial and error, I have seen my playing across genres improve dramatically in the past year by using these habits. Thank you for such a useful and high-quality video!”

Davi Fileti

YouTube

"Wow, now that is a lesson on how to teach guitar! So many YouTube creators turn this topic into a huge rabbit hole, but this video made it simple enough for me to dive in and start practicing concretely. Today was my first day working on Level 1, and I plan to practice every day until I can play Level 5 fluently. Thanks for the video. You have a new subscriber!"

Siliwolf

“This is honestly kind of a dream lesson format for me.
Short, straight to the point, and it takes something I can already do and just opens it up a bit, instead of making me feel like I have to start from zero again.
I’d happily pay for a full course built like this.”

“You have a real gift of crystal clear instructions, a rare gift that not often goes with mastery of guitar.”

Vega Llona

“EEWW DOPE GUITAR VIDEO YALL!!  He just changed my playing, made it multidimensional finally and sound a lot more classical. scholarly and snooty sounding, AWESOME FOR MY FRETBOARD KNOWLEDGE!!!”

Iris MaGuiRe

"This is amazing! I've always wanted to get to that point where I can play guitar without looking at a music sheet, but I never knew where to start. This lesson is like having a personal guide. I'll get started with this and work on reaching level 5. This is such a great help. Thank you so much. Please keep making more mini lessons like this.🙏"

"By far the best tutorial video’s I’ve come across… Most importantly strait to the point explanation… no droning on with endless mind numbing chit chat (no offense intended) Thank you,thank you, thank you."

Shenkathir Raj

"Thank you so much!! You're an amazing teacher! My classical guitar technique is pretty decent and i like improvising with a backing track like you mentioned, but it always felt like i was lacking the appeal of classical guitar when I do that! This is just perfect!Just started with level 1 and it's nice to learn triads this way too!"

Cory

“Great job! This is the best guitar lesson on triads for people who are inexperienced with the concept of triads I've ever seen. Tymv, you earned my sub and like 👍”

The Missing Practice Piece

When you are preparing a set of songs, every lesson and practice session has a clear purpose.

Most guitarists want to improve. But “get better at guitar” is not a goal you can practice toward.
Without something specific to prepare, it is easy to bounce between exercises, lessons, and half-learned songs without knowing what matters most.

That is why Play It Through is built around a clear musical goal: building a set of songs you can actually play from beginning to end.

Once you have that goal, everything else falls into place.

  • Technique helps you play your songs more cleanly.

  • Theory helps you understand and remember the music.

  • Feedback helps keep you on track.

  • Performance gives the work a finish line.

You are no longer practicing just to practice. You are preparing music you can actually play. That is what gives your guitar journey direction.

Song Matching

The right song is the one you finish.

Adults choose music the wrong way.
We reach for songs that are exciting, impressive, and too hard. Then when we don't sound good, we lose momentum and move on to something new.


Kids don't have that problem.
A teacher gives them music that is manageable, asks them to stick with it, and helps them take it all the way to the finish line.


In Play It Through, you’ll get the best of both worlds. I’ll work with you to find songs that fit your interests, but you’ll also get the structure of being assigned music you can actually finish.
