Give the gift of guitar

We're glad you asked! So many things:

• Pickup Music gives you week-by-week guided learning. This is so important for making progress and getting out of the beginner plateau. Instead of just making you watch a video of an instructor talking about how they play guitar, we break things down for you on a daily and weekly basis.
• Each daily lesson is accompanied by practice exercises where the instructors play along with you - almost like they're sitting right beside you. This eliminates the guess work so you know exactly what you need to focus on to make real and lasting progress with guitar.
• Our lessons take you beyond the basics. Most online guitar lessons are good at teaching new guitarists the easy stuff. Pickup Music goes beyond that to help advanced-beginners and intermediate guitarists break through to the next level.
• Our teachers are the best new and modern guitarists in the world. You'll find touring musicians, professors of music, and virtuosos from every genre to guide you through your guitar journey.
• We have an extensive library with over 1,000 lessons across most genres for every type of guitarist. This means we have the right learning pathway for your unique starting point and preferred style of playing.

• Pickup Music lessons are jam-packed with features to enhance your learning experience. This includes interactive TAB, multiple HD camera angles, backing tracks, and extensive course notes. All of this is designed to speed up your learning so you can achieve real results in your playing.  
• We keep it fresh - we drop new lessons every. single. week. Plus, we're always striving to make each new lesson better than the last.
• Pickup Music is a supportive and welcoming community. This is the place to connect with fellow guitarists, get feedback, and grow together.

You’ll have unlimited access to every lesson on Pickup Music as long as your membership is active.

That means every Master Class, Learning Pathway, SongSquad, Lick Package... we could go on but you get the idea. It's an all-inclusive membership. We have 40+ Master Classes and guided Learning Pathways, so you'll never run out of material to work on.

Pickup Music's lesson plans are designed to suit the amount of time you have available to practice.

Ready to commit to a multi-week program? Try one of our Learning Pathways. Over three months, these detailed courses will take you on a day-by-day journey to master various styles of guitar from scratch.

Learning Pathways include daily practice exercises so you know exactly what to focus on. Plus, at the end of each grade, you'll have the opportunity to jam with a live-recorded band and get personalized video feedback on your playing. These pathways are the best way to make lasting progress.

Only got a few minutes? Try our 5-Minute Lessons to quickly add a new skill to your toolbox.

Got half an hour? Try one of our Essential Lick Packages or SongSquads to expand your vocabulary in different genres.

Got a couple of days? Try a Master Class with one of our world-renowned artists. Each class is broken up into short, digestible modules focused on one topic. These are a fantastic way to take a peek behind the curtain of the techniques that make up your favorite guitarist's playing style.

Whichever approach you choose, we recommend building the exercises you learn into your daily practice schedule. The best way to improve as a guitarist is through a consistent practice routine rather than sporadic, longer  sessions. Learning guitar is a day-by-day, life-long journey!
