I love learning the different techniques while getting a better understanding of the theory behind it. I still have some work to do in bringing it all together, but I love learning all these new things!

Solid place to start or polish your guitar skills two things that stood out from others 1. their pathway system is incredibly good as their tutors. 2. jam along with band not just learn but applied in musical way. Bit pricey though

My guitar learning has been a pertpetually ongoing process for the past 10 years or so. During this journey I have enrolled in Guitar Tricks, Fender Play, Guitareo, Udemy , Teachables and many more. If there is a guitar course out there, I probably have given it a try. I finally settled for Pickup Music. For me this site instantaneously clicked. The material is nicely divided up into Genres , Masterclasses, Pathways , Five minute lessons, Practice sessions etc. There is opportunity to get your skills evaluated at NO EXTRA COST by uploading your performance. The feedback to questions, comments, concerns is quick. Its almost like there really are live people working behind the scenes and you are not all alone. I have never seen Guitar theory taught so simplistically and in such a fund indulging manner. For example , CAGED pathway is phenomenally well done. There are many many more. My learning continues and I look forward to being a member here for a long time. Cheers !

I had played guitar for a few years casually, cobbling together method books, old brand name DVDs, tutorial videos, and chord identification software. I knew I had picked up some bad habits along the way, and so I decided when I wanted to get serious about guitar again to check out Pickup Music and to start in the Beginner course. I'm so happy that I did. The beginner course is a combination of beginning music theory, rhythm, and lead guitar. So while I was clipping along with 2/3rds of those topics, the third was totally new ground for me and I loved the experience of both feeling super competent, and still knowing I was learning things I'd never considered as aligned with my goals before. The progression is so intelligent, you're learning something new and building on what you learned before in each lesson so that you can become a super rounded player. Karl Kerfoot is an amazing teacher, and he slips in the most ingenious little hidden easter eggs in his lessons... you can tell he is in the right profession and has been doing this for years. I love knowing that he is going to be the instructor for not just the beginner's course I'm about to complete, but also the next three levels to come. Another thing I love about Pickup is that you can be as involved or uninvolved with the community as you want to be. The performance feedback, virtual group lessons, and the forum boards are all totally optional parts of the experience. As someone who doesn't aspire to get on stage, but wants to pursue music as a life long hobby for myself, I am very grateful to get to decide how to best use Pickup Music for myself and my goals. I'm so happy that I decided to get a subscription to Pickup Music for myself for the year, and I already have lots of courses queued up in my dashboard to help me along.

I just started with Pickup Music about 2 months ago and I feel like I have already gotten more than my money's worth for the cost of the annual membership. Previously, I was teaching myself guitar using the Hal Leonard method, and doing pretty well, but I wasn't really getting anywhere with Bar Chords. Then I started with Pickup Music and Karl made learning Power Chords and Bar Chords so much easier! And the lessons and exercises and performance pieces are a lot of fun to play along with - a lot more fun than playing alone. The lessons and exercises are designed to build upon themselves to teach you new things and to remind you of things you learned before. I look forward to practicing every day. I think the system is excellent!

Heyyy this is the best way i have tried so far to learn more about playing the guitar. Pick up music covers sooo many different technics and styles. I really think this is worth the money and if you do the grads i think you will learn a lot <3

Great starting point for intermediate players! I already new my pentatonic scales but I didn't understand them at all! Now I understand what I am playing!

The guitar programs on Pickup music are AMAZING!!! I have watched so many Youtube videos, joined many other guitar online courses and none are as fun and as skill progressing as pickup music. What makes pick up music different? 1st is the fact that you get real guitar tutor feedback on your performances which you do not get on any other guitar course online, its like having your own personal tutor, the next best thing is the structured courses day to day learning, with other online courses I have always felt so overwhelmed by the amount of things to learn on guitar and can't seem to stay focused on one thing and end up jumping from course to course to try and stitch thing together for myself, until now because now I can choose my learning pathway and have daily things to learn, the lessons are always fun and straight to the point, with lovely instructors, you can see they love their job and have passion for music. Another great thing is the cost, you get great value for money, you have daily lessons, you can join in with weekly live zoom classes, and you get feedback so you know how to improve, this course has everything I have been looking for, you won't find any other online guitar course with so much packed into one, also whenever you have a question someone gets back to you within a few hours, so yeah join Pickup music you will not regret it!
