Pickup MusicReviews of pickupmusic.com

I love this website!! I played a lot of guitar at school but had picked up other hobbies and not played for a long time. Now at 37 with 2 young children I want music to be a part of our house and this app has got me back up and running. So many options, so much progression. I'm probably an advanced beginner/intermediate guitarist and there is so much content here that is out of my reach which helps with inspiring me to practice and keep coming back to get to the next level.

I can rest my positive review on 3 pillars which holds my 3legged chair ( I wont name it stool for obvious reasons) of reasoning :D : 1. They are interactive, energetic, supportive and they have gathered the cool, nice people in a community 2. There are tons of material for you to be exposed to as a guitarist and tons to learn, the hard part is to actually take the time, ,which they even help with that as much as possible, with reminders, giveaways and highlights. I also love their weekly sessions, amazing people, amzing musicians which are down to earth. 3. Value, I have been lucky to be a subscriber since 2021 and I have been lucky and blessed (or as they say rewarded for loyalty, which I secretly love) with low prices which for the amount of content I have available is a steal, even with their current prices it is worth it, but one has to be determined and you will learn a lot in a short while. I will probably be a pickup music subscriber for life. I just wish I used it more often than I do, music is a language and will run away when not exercised, at least the language part of it. I really really really hope they stay as lovely as they are, I feel like they are my kind of people and its refreshing to see people like them running a business which really cares about their customer.

Pickup Music is an excellent platform for learning guitar. It has a lot of different levels from which you can start a journey to a higher plateau. I also love their master classes.

After years of playing guitar, I considered myself to be what I called a "cover monkey." Really good at reproducing songs, but with limited understanding of the guitar. I absolutely did not want to pay for a subscription to learn, but after struggling to find a linear way to learn through youtube videos and being bombarded by "influencer's" ads to pay for their extremely expensive revolutionary course, I bit the bullet and signed up for Pickup Music. I am very happy that I did. In the little over two weeks that I have spent on the platform, not only have I learned a ton, but I am excited to keep learning. The amount of content on here is incredible, the teachers in the lessons are great at teaching, and, if anything, I overwhelm myself with the amount of new pathways I want to try. I definitely recommend pickup to anyone who was feeling the same way about learning guitar, but isn't sure of where to start. Alternatively, if you are an experienced musician but want to pick up a new technique, such as slide guitar, this is also a great tool!

If you're a beginner, intermediate or pro, this program is for you. I like how they display a variety of programs to participate in. I'm already on three different programs from ear training, metal guitar and bass. In my journey of playing guitar, I was stuck and didn't know what to do. Then I found pickup music online. I've only been doing this for 2 months and I can't wait to spend more time playing guitar. I never felt so relieved. This is a great experience for anyone who wants to excel in their guitar skills. I would recommend to this to anyone. These programs will have you picking up your instruments daily.

Great lessons. Very clear directions. Never a doubt about what is next.

Made alot of progress with my lead playing and understanding. I like that they make sure to make videos that are really targeted towards understanding the fretboard, not just playing

Overall, a great course. A lot of the early material around pentatonics and techniques will feel like treading over old ground for experienced guitar players. I thought, given that there's an early quiz on this site to determine your playing level, that a course like this might assume that some students already know the basics of triads, double stops, and so on. I appreciate the depth of each topic, and Daniel does a great job at conveying his passion for country guitar. Similarly excellent was Daniel's ability to teach how to apply universal guitar concepts and techniques to the specifics of country guitar. Double stops, bends, and chromaticism show up in plenty of other styles, but Daniel does a great job of showing how they can be applied to country playing. I would sign up for a more advanced class in a heartbeat. My only complaint would be how much time is spent on, in my opinion, entry-level guitar theory: if you've been playing for more than a year, you should probably know your triads and pentatonic positions. Despite that, I really enjoyed this course, and would love to see a deeper dive into the finer points of country lead playing.
