I was skeptical at first, as I have only had good learning experiences with in-person lessons, so I wasn't sure how an online course would go. I'm entirely self-taught, so the course helped me get back to basics and fix some bad habits I had picked up. Anytime I have a question about the course, someone is quick to reply and the community is great. I really enjoy the feedback options, as I'm able to have someone review my playing and give me honest tips. This was something I was concerned about, however feedback always comes back in a timely manner and was helpful for moving forward with course progress. I'm a fan of the way the course is layed out as well, constantly bringing in new skills and reviewing old ones. The wording and lessons are also well-written; easy to read but not too dumbed down. Overall I'm very happy with my experience with Pickup Music.

The Beginner Pathway series of lessons on the Pickup Music website is great for people with little to no skills in playing the guitar. The instructor (I forget his name) recorded a lesson that builds skills while not hurrying. I think it's great that they include the jam track with each lesson so that you can practice, practice, practice. Money will spent.

Very good course. Very thorough and easy to follow. It really unlocked the fretboard for me. I struggled for years.

I'm really enjoying learning with Pickup Music so far and it's working very well for me as a platform to grow my skills as a guitarist and keep me inspired. Especially the personal feedback is great. So far I completed the CAGED I Pathway, wich was extremely well build, super helpful and very fun. I am currently going through the Jazz Pathway with Cecil and this one is definitely more demanding. At some point the progression feels a bit abrup, so you really have to take things a bit slower. But the great thing is, you can always go back and review stuff from earlier exercises. All in all great platform, I would definetely recommend

I have spent a lifetime playing around on the guitar. I have always known how to play a couple dozen songs and known a few scales. I finally decided that I really wanted to learn how to play for real. So far, Pickup Music has been amazing. I started at the very beginning to make sure I didn't miss anything. I am just finishing the 6th grade of "Beginner" and I'm already able to randomly string together cords at will that sound amazing. I can't wait to continue this journey. I set aside 30 to 40 minutes a day to take lessons and practice. Very satisfying and a great way to learn!

I am an older learner and I wasn't sure at first whether to join Pickup Music, as I have previously used other well known online companies and found that I struggled with the structure of their lessons and the speed they moved forward. This made learning a chore and so I quickly gave up. However, the learning paths on Pickup Music are very clear and structured and a lot of fun. After every lesson I feel I have learnt something new and love the experience of playing along with the tutor videos and the band at the end of each section. I really enjoy the free weekly master classes as I find them interesting and informative, even though some are currently above my level. There is plenty of resources on the site for learning for all levels and I am enjoying my journey with this new hobby. I haven't done any challenges as yet but they are available if it is something you like to participate in. To sum it up I am having a wonderful experience as a new learner.

Pickup music is an excellent resource for learning guitar. I initially saw a snippet of the CAGED pathway with Molly Miller on Facebook and thought it looked really good, and so then I took the trial to look around. The overall vibe of the lessons is nice and relaxed with small bite size lesson chunks that you can dip into when you are ready. At the end of each grade you can submit a video performance and get feedback from a pro guitarist. This is really useful as just making a video gets you to see things that need correcting, but sometimes this bit drives me mad trying to get a good take - but it’s worth it. Overall It’s fun and engaging way to learn guitar, will you be next?

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.
