Do You Feel Like Life Has Passed You By?
As a self-taught player seeking recognition, I went from feeling invisible in a crowded industry to building a loyal audience for my music (even when I felt like a life in music had passed me by).
If you are a guitar player, perhaps a bit "older", chances are you feel like your opportunity to create impactful music is long gone.
You've been secretly playing your songs to an audience of 1 because you lack the confidence to share with others.
Life is passing you by because your fears are stopping you dead in your tracks.
The Result?
You feel down, maybe even depressed.
You are unfulfilled.
Life has lost meaning.
You create bad habits to suppress the feelings from NOT being the creator you were meant to be.
I Get It. You Have No Time to Spare
As a musician wanting to leave a legacy, I went from struggling to balance music with life to feeling fulfilled and energized in my creative journey.
I Know the Struggles:
Life has gotten more complicated, instead of easier, leaving you with little time to focus on creating music.
Your responsibilities lie elsewhere. And when you DO have time to write music, you lack the motivation to see it through.
Traditional Courses Are a Let-Down!
As a guitarist who values self-expression, I went from feeling stuck in repetitive techniques to developing my own unique style (even when traditional courses felt overwhelming).
Learning music theory teaches you how to understand the music, but does not teach you how to create it...in YOUR voice!
Perhaps you've even had one of those teachers who discouraged you instead of empowering you to pursue music.
This Leads to:
Frustration on how to create the music you hear in your head.
Overthinking and overanalyzing your songs.
Wanting to give up entirely.
Wasting countless hours on YouTube videos that leave more questions than answers.
No clear path forward, and therefore ZERO progress.
How to Engage and Build a Loyal Audience That Appreciates Your Music
If you're putting in the work to write and record your music, you WANT an audience that is engaged and appreciative. Here's why:
Creative Fulfillment - Knowing your music genuinely resonates with listeners gives you confidence, inspiration and validation to keep creating from an authentic place.
Meaningful Feedback Loop - An engaged audience gives real-time responses that help you grow as an artist, boost your confidence even further, and stay aligned with what truly moves people. This further validates your musical direction.
Resilience in a Noisy Industry - While trends come and go, a loyal fanbase gives you stability and staying power, even when the spotlight shifts. This also allows you to develop an entire product line for your merchandise.
Take Your Songwriting Guitar Skills to the Next Level Using Advanced Techniques and Improvisation.
Unlock Greater Musical Expression - Advanced skills give you more tools to express emotions and ideas with depth and nuance.
Write More Memorable Songs - Enhanced technique allows you to create richer melodies, chord progressions and hooks that stick with listeners.
Stand Out As An Artist - When your guitar work goes beyond basics, your songs sound more distinctive and professional.
All of the above boosts your confidence even further!
Confidence CAN Be Learned!
Follow a Step-by-Step Approach to Elevate Your Songwriting and Performance Skills
The 7 Proven Steps that build foundational confidence and a belief in your dream.
Build Momentum Faster - A clear method reduces overwhelm, so you can make steady progress and see real results quickly.
Overcome Self-Doubt - A structured path helps silence the inner critic, so you can finally share your music without fear or hesitation.
Break Through Creative Limits - Confidence fuels experimentation, helping you push boundaries and grow beyond what you thought possible.
Self-Taught Guitar Players:
Develop Your Unique Musical Style and Perform With Confidence
You won't have to spend years figuring it out on your own. The Ultimate Artist Toolkit will shorten the time needed to learn powerful methods to 10x your writing and performing skills.
You won't need to invest in complicated theory lessons or drown in YouTube videos. University degrees are extremely expensive and YouTube videos only tech technique, without helping you find your unique voice.
You won't sacrifice your unique self-taught approach. Some of the most well-known artists used the most unorthodox techniques. Think Jimi Hendrix, Albert King, Eddie Van Halen and many more. What matters is the song, the feel, the vibe.
Finally, a Solution for the Guitar Playing Artist To Build Foundational Confidence Through Time-Tested Methods
The Artist Toolkit Bundle gives you the tools to unlock your songwriting in days, not decades. It's a proven pathway to write better songs, faster and make them authentically yours, regardless of your current skill level or age.
Many assume you need to be born a musical genius to craft touching songs. NOT TRUE! Writing songs and playing guitar are learned skills. By tapping into your own values and life stories, you create music that truly reflects who you are. This means your age is not a hindrance, rather a powerful asset.
Even confidence, yes, confidence, is a skill. For confidence is nothing more than the belief in one's abilities, and abilities are learned not innate. You weren't born walking. You had to learn how.
HERE'S HOW IT WORKS:
1. Taking stock of your current skills reveals where to place your focus in the short term.
2. Tracking your progress through recording tells the story, unfiltered.
3. Implementation of thousand-year-old principles builds the foundational confidence you need to create the music you want.
4. Proven songwriting methods makes it easy to write memorable, hooky songs that people remember.
5. Guitar skills taught from the Artist perspective allows you to expand your creativity and not be bound by theory. Yes, some basic theory is a MUST. But it is a tool and not a "formula" for memorable songs.
6. With every step, you don’t just build skills; you build confidence too. The confidence to claim, “I am a songwriter,” and mean it.

Meet Your Instructor
My name is Dean Maser and I've had a guitar in my hand since I was six years old.
I started with a cheap Stella acoustic (which I still own today) and have since added numerous acoustics & electrics along the way. One thing that didn't stop me and that was my inclination to CREATE on the guitar. I loved nothing more than coming up with cool riffs, licks and rhythms. My first experience playing in front of people was in church. Later, in High School, I started a cover band with my best friend which gave me the "band experience," something I absolutely love.
Eventually I tried my hand at actual songwriting. I SUCKED! But it didn't stop me from trying. However, it took decades to get to a point where I felt comfortable playing my songs in front of others and eventually I recorded my first CD. My second recording came years after that. Today I spend all my time on music & music related things including solo acoustic tours of Europe.
And guess what the #1 thing I've learned throughout this entire journey is...? 👉 Your age, skill level and experience has little to do with your ability to make an impact on the world with your music and change your life by following your creative passions... Once you understand the fundamentals of guitar from a songwriter's perspective, and combine that with the right mindset, the sky is the limit as far as what you can achieve. AND THAT RIGHT THERE is what inspired me to launch The Self-Taught Guitarist's Songwriting Toolkit, the world's most affordable online resource for helping aspiring guitar players quickly develop the skills required to transform into creative artists.
But I get it, you probably don't really care about who I am and why I created this platform... Right now, all you care about is CAN I ACTUALLY HELP YOU! Well, after years of experience writing, recording and gigging, combined with studying personal development with a certification in Rapid Results Coaching, I am 100% confident that I can help you move the needle forward rapidly with your music. I hope you're as excited as I am for you to begin this journey! I host a Q&A call every single week in our private community, I hope to meet you soon!
