Love the step by step approach which forces you to slow things down and truly get the muscle memory going. I however feel the workouts portion are a bit too quick compared to what was learned in a week.

Love the structure. Charts are great. Good instruction. The performance review was helpful. I feel like I'm building and connecting knowledge rather than learning piecemeal. One potential frustration. Not sure why intermediate pathway doesn't begin with 3NPS. I'm having to relearn fingering of scales which is a bit frustrating. I'm hoping that will clear up as I move along.

It’s my preferred online guitar lessons, and I’ve tried several. So far I have really appreciated the layout and late intermediate course. Each lesson is laid out clear and systematically. Each lesson has several exercises which is great. I wish I could adjust the tempo of tracks to match my skills. Using video speed isn’t the same.

structured lesson is perfect

I'm a self taught 76 year old 5 years into learning guitar. I stumbled onto Pickup a few weeks ago when I was looking for guidance about the CAGED system. The Caged class taught by Molly Miller is well organized and thoughtful. The material is challenging for my ancient brain but Molly has obviously spent a great deal time putting this class together and I am making progress. There are so many classes to choose from on the site that it could be easy for me to bounced around but having great choices is a good thing. The production values are excellent. I'll be using this site for a while.

The Country Pathways course is an great online guitar course taught by Daniel Donato. The course covers a variety of topics, including triads, scales, riffs, licks, and improv jams. Daniel Donato is a sweet, earnest, friendly and approachable teacher. He is also a highly skilled guitarist and has a deep understanding of country music. He breaks down complex concepts into easy-to-understand steps. The only criticism I might have is that some of lessons and jams assume you have all the material completely committed to memory, so I would suggest studying the source material fully before moving on.

Being a Pick Up Music member has been a great and satisfactory experience. I've been exposed into a new way to see music as a learner. The content is so good and drives you not just running in the scales and chord shapes but doing music with it, the instructors are very clear on their explanation on each topic and help you to develop your "musicability", the SogSquad is the best part, bunch of music's to learn step by step from the songwriters.

I like that you can move forward and see your progress.
