I have had a great experience with Pickup Music! After one year of using this platform I feel like I have learned so much faster than the previous 2 years of in person lessons I've taken. The structure is the key for me. I can go back and replay as many times as I need to and at my own pace. The extremely talented and experienced instructors make it all make sense!

It's great to understand how the fretboard connects using the caged system to understand where the roots and notes are and how they connect. I'm still having trouble with shapes but working on it.

This is an awesome learning platform, I'm enjoying it very much. The teachers are wonderful, and try to keep things interesting and fun. The content of the Pathways is very well structured, so that even if you know some of the concepts you always find interesting things. And the fact that you can submit your exercise performances for review makes you have an active role, but without pressure and at your own pace, which is great (unlike going to your next private lesson knowing you can't really play your last assignments :)

I decided to start at the beginning to be sure not to leave any gaps as I advance. Ive been playing for a number of years with big gaps here and there. For me this has been a good refresher course to get back up to speed. Bar chords are still a bit of work.i do remember the days of just strumming a chord and slowly moving my fingers to the next. As Karl says be patient with your self it does take time. I think this is a great place for folks to begin their journey. I especially like that youve included some songs to learn on the way. That can be very satisfying.

Fantastic experience, easy to follow

I am a beginner but didn’t want to hire a traditional guitar teacher that I could only meet with occasionally and pay a lot for their time. I tried some of the guitar manufacturer apps but they didn’t give enough detailed guidance. I tried the Pickup Music trial for 2 weeks and was very excited about learning from a human and having a clear learning path to becoming a better player. I can see myself being a Pickup student for a long time.

Great for filling gaps with self taught guitarists

Beginners Lerning Pathways is grate way to start playing guitar. It is also a good start for people not playing for years and want to start playing again.
