I think this pathway is uniquely beneficial to someone like me who is not quite a beginner and not quite intermediate. Its a great course for laying the foundation of guitar playing before getting to the highly anticipated CAGE system!

I finally found my home
I finally found my home! After trying 2 other online courses and 2 in-person instructors, Pickup Music has me engaged with their format for learning. I needed a stepwise approach with bite size lessons to keep me motivated, progressing and having fun. Pickup Music has provided the structured learning that I needed rather than guessing which lesson I needed to do next or the "what song do you want to play" approach. The added benefit is that the lessons are available 24/7 to work around a busy schedule. I have only touched the surface of what they offer. I would highly recommend trying the free 14 day trial.

I've tried a couple of guitar apps…
I've tried a couple of guitar apps before, but this one is by far the best one. The videos and the structure of the pathways is excellent. It's well worth the money for the progress I'm getting.

Intermediate Pathway - Perfectly Structured and for me Just the Right Challenge!
I've been going through the Intermediate Pathway on Pickup Music, and I have to say – it's exactly what I needed! The difficulty level is spot on, challenging enough to push me forward but never overwhelming. The course is incredibly well-structured, making it easy to follow and stay motivated.
What I love is the video feedback after each lesson – it really helps to refine my playing and stay on track. I truly feel like I’ve made real progress with my guitar skills thanks to this course. If I had more time, I would be learning even more!
A huge thank you to Pickup Music for creating such a great learning experience. Highly recommended!

at last I have found a clear and useful way
After some years of frustration with my guitar playing, Pickup music has given me a clear path to follow in order to achieve my goals. The encouragement from everyone connected with Pickup music has also helped to motivate me and feel good about my playing again.
I feel I have improved already in a short space of time and I'm excited to delve more into the great resources provided by Pickup music

The Best Way To Get To The Next Level
These lessons teach you something new every
lesson. no more going around in circles wondering
why I keep working on the things I already know how to play. It's not possible to be in a rut cause These lessons continue to move on to the next must know
technique. I've moved on from playing a style or genre
now I'm learning to play the GUITAR.Thank you

I recently completed the Pickup Music…
I recently completed the Pickup Music Beginner Course, and I have to say—it was absolutely fantastic! As someone who was just starting out, I was looking for a structured, easy-to-follow program that would help me build a strong foundation, and this course delivered in every way.
The lessons were well-organized, engaging, and designed to make learning fun. The instructors broke everything down step by step, making even the trickiest concepts feel manageable. The guided practice sessions were especially helpful, allowing me to apply what I learned in real time. Plus, the community aspect of Pickup Music made the experience even better—having direct feedback and encouragement kept me motivated.
One of the things I loved most was how the course balanced theory and practical application. Instead of just learning chords and scales, I was actually playing music and developing my ear along the way. By the end of the course, I felt way more confident in my playing and ready to take on more advanced lessons.
If you're a beginner looking for a fun, supportive, and effective way to learn guitar, I highly recommend the Pickup Music Beginner Course. It’s truly a game-changer!
