This is exactly what I needed and I am happy that I found this courses! I've been playing guitar for more than 10 years and I mostly taught myself during this time. I wanted to work on the soloing but didnt know where to begin nor what kind of genre I want to play. The courses they offer helped me to figure out what skill I should work on, what genre I have been liking, what songs I should listen to to improve skills etc. The part that I liked the most is that they even make the practices fun! I always thought practicing pentatonic scales (or any scales) is super boring, but with their carefully-crafted courses and the 'jams', they succeeded in making those boring practices fun to do. I highly recommend this!

I strongly recommend Pickup Music to anyone who wants to improve their guitar playing. I have been fooling around with the guitar for years, just noodling and learning on YouTube videos. I even took some group lessons but didn't really get me anywhere. What's so great about these lessons are they tell you exactly what to practice and when. They quiz you, and also let you practice performances. I was shocked when I sent a video in for feedback and Ben actually took the time to go over the performance thoughtfully , giving great feedback. Things I never would have thought about on my own. I feel that I have evolved so much over the last 3 months, way more than I did over all the years I've been playing. I regret not asking questions more and sending more videos in for feedback. I will certainly do it more often because the team always gets back in a timely fashion. Thanks Pickup Music!!!

Great build up of the lessons. Clear and good explanations. I enjoyed it a lot.

A wonderful supportive community

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.
