The way lessons are broken into easily digestible pieces is working for me. I've taken a lot of on line guitar lessons, these are sticking with me the best. Small increments, lots of repetition and explanations as to why, and lots of different angles teaching the same ideas has me showing actual improvement.

Lots of fun! Very nicely put together series of lessons with good focus on the fundamentals. Particularly nice is the way in which the fundamentals are quickly put into context with chord progressions and songs to practice to. Sam and co are excellent tutors. I have been playing around 5 years and think of myself as an intermediate. Dabbling in Jazz for much of that - with a good understanding of the theory and the fundamental chord voicings - however even as a form of revision to solidify understanding there are some insights and tips given that I have found more than valuable. It's great to have the structure of the course to work to, given how vast jazz is as a field of learning. I am doing this, having also completed most of the intermediate pathway course. To get the most out of this pathway it helps to come into it with a solid understanding of the notes on the fretboard and to have a working understanding of intervals.

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! 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 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.

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!

It's great. Suprise the CAGED system can turn into a pentatonic scale
