What makes Pickup Music better than other guitar lesson sites?
We're glad you asked! So many things:
What's included in my Pickup Music membership?
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.
How long are the lessons? How long will it take me to complete them?
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!
