The Guide Behind Guitar Licks
After hearing the same question—
“Can you teach guitar the way you teach banjo?”
—I knew Guitar Licks would only happen if I found the right teacher.
That teacher is Jon Stickley.
Jon is one of the most respected acoustic guitarists in modern bluegrass. As the founder of the Jon Stickley Trio, he's spent years developing a unique style that blends rhythm, improvisation, melody, and deep musical listening.
What stood out wasn't just his playing. It was his approach to learning music. Like Banjo Licks, Jon teaches players to understand music from the inside out—not just memorize songs, tabs, and licks.
Together we've built Guitar Licks around the same ear-based philosophy that has helped thousands of banjo players become more confident, creative musicians.
Now we're bringing that approach to guitar.
“My goal isn't just to teach you what to play.” It's to help you hear what's happening in the music so you can create your own ideas with confidence.
