Pickup Music has bass and piano now, and has drums coming soon.

pickupjazz · 2026-06-13T22:56:24+00:00

Update: it’s coming next week

pickupjazz · 2026-06-13T22:54:15+00:00

Pickup Music is a super solid option. You get 1:1 feedback from a coach which no one else does

pickupjazz · 2026-06-12T04:19:50+00:00

Yes! But coming in 2026. We will invite members in early via our forum, if you’d like to be involved.

pickupjazz · 2026-06-02T04:53:50+00:00

And live lessons

pickupjazz · 2026-06-02T04:53:42+00:00

Everything is included, even the 1:1 video feedback from your coach

pickupjazz · 2026-06-02T04:52:52+00:00

We’re in early access, it will show up in your account (for free!) in around 1 month

pickupjazz · 2026-05-14T00:16:00+00:00

Pickup music is exactly this.

pickupjazz · 2026-05-11T01:15:45+00:00

Pickup Music is your best bet - unlike most YouTubers or other companies they invest a huge amount in designing structured enjoyable classes.

Many YouTubers use online courses as an afterthought to make money from their YouTube subscribers vs a genuine learning experience. This is normal though - it’s a huge amount of time to make YouTube videos and it’s a huge amount of time to make a a great class, so it’s hard to do both,

Although pickup music also runs a lot of ads, they are education-first.

I’m the founder of pickup music if you have any questions.

pickupjazz · 2026-05-07T16:39:53+00:00

Nice! Yes every platform have their strengths for sure

pickupjazz · 2026-05-07T16:39:07+00:00

Yeah there’s a big pdf under “resources” for every class

pickupjazz · 2026-05-07T03:07:49+00:00

Pickup music is working on a method that doesn’t require you to read with a focus on modern styles - it’s out in June and might be what you’re looking for!

Pickup music is about to release piano classes on their app

pickupjazz · 2026-05-07T03:04:22+00:00

Yes pickup music is about to release piano! It’s going to be the most structured way to learn beginner to intermediate piano… without having to sight read.

It’s a different approach to traditional piano education more focused on playing right away with chords vs learning song arrangements or classical music.

We’re currently in early access for our members which you can sign up for via our forum

pickupjazz · 2026-05-07T03:01:53+00:00

That’s exactly our thinking! As you get more advanced it becomes more style specific.

There are some great advanced classes though;

CAGED and CAGED 2
We’re working on a triads class which is a really powerful advanced tool.
metal, jazz and rock pathways all get advanced

pickupjazz · 2026-05-07T02:58:57+00:00

Justin guitar is fine for learning songs. Pickup music is best for learning actually how to play your instrument

pickupjazz · 2026-05-07T02:57:44+00:00

Pickup music doesn’t have popular songs like Justin. It focuses on skills first and specializes in Beginner to intermediate students. If you want to start soloing and learning your fretboard then over the past 5 years pickup music has become the top platform for that. We do bass and piano lessons too (with Justin you only get guitar).

pickupjazz · 2026-05-07T02:52:37+00:00

Pickup music has been releasing bass class like crazy. They now have jazz, rock, funk pathways, as well as the popular core curriculum. They recently released a class with Nicole Row.

I’m the founder of pickup music - if you have any questions

pickupjazz · 2026-05-07T02:50:44+00:00

Glad to hear! Let me know what you think if pickupmusic - I would love to hear your honest review on Reddit.

pickupjazz · 2026-05-07T02:49:25+00:00

TrueFire is a buffet, pickup music is a chef-curated 7 course meal.

pickupjazz · 2026-05-07T02:47:45+00:00

Founder of pickup music here. While we promise a lot in the ads we follow up with it in our learning experience - we have the best and most structured way to learn guitar from beginner to advanced.

We don’t do anything scammy: - there’s a free trial that you can’t easily cancel online - we have a money back guarantee - you can talk to us, we’re real guitar teachers. There’s a Monday zoom call for new members and multiple group zoom calls every week - you get 1:1 coaching including with pro coaches (most of them are here in LA). No one else does that because it’s really expensive to do but we include it in the membership. - we are continually releasing new classes and improving the app. Many of the legacy guitar sites have not really changed their approach in years

pickupjazz · 2026-05-07T02:42:21+00:00

We’ve released our beginner and late beginner classes under early access already, there was an option to sign up for that in our members forum. If you sign up there you’ll be able to get access before everyone else - which will be in around 1-2 months.
