I had never studied blues guitar before, and this Master Class helped me understand all the fundamentals. Now, I can easily move up and down my fretboard to play with classic blues motifs and licks! Seth is a great teacher and explains helpful tips behind basic techniques.

This was the first Master Class that I completed on Pickup Music. I really enjoyed learning something new especially in a genre I hadn't really explored before. It really helped me transition from beginner to an intermediate guitarist because it teaches techniques that you can use in a lot of other genres. I also learned to love the blues.

Sam R.

Pickup Music has been an awesome resource thus far. I love the lessons from young players who are at the forefront of contemporary music. The Master Classes are definitely my favorite as they have a clear plan of study and a logical progression behind them.
