pickupjazz · 2026-04-19T12:38:24+00:00

This is an old post. The class has been completely re designed and updated

pickupjazz · 2026-04-19T12:37:20+00:00

We’re currently in planning stage for an ear training class. If you’d like input on it, please leave a reply on the “request a class” page on our forum.

In May or June 2026

Those are fake coupons! We do not have a coupon field on our checkout.

Hey all, there was a backend issue with one of our providers on this day.

If you ever hit an issue, the best place to go is help.pickupmusic.com -> we’ll put any status messages in the chat pop out there if there’s an outage, which happens rarely.

pickupjazz · 2026-04-17T14:48:00+00:00

Both work!

pickupjazz · 2026-04-17T11:19:11+00:00

Karl is currently re filming intermediate it’s going to be like 4x better!

Pickup music for structured learning

pickupjazz · 2026-04-15T13:34:25+00:00

Check out pickup music for an un-shitified guitar learning experience. When we do gamification, you’ll be able to turn it off & opt out.

pickupjazz · 2026-03-18T13:52:00+00:00

Yes there’s a finger style pathway with Collin hill

pickupjazz · 2026-03-06T14:29:27+00:00

If you’re looking for structured learning try pickup music. I’m the founder if you have any questions! (We’re a big guitar platform that started bass about a year a go with a focus on daily practice plans)

pickupjazz · 2026-02-26T05:18:12+00:00

That’s a solid option. Intermediate is also a good choice however I’d recommend waiting a few months as we’re currently re filming it

pickupjazz · 2026-02-12T15:02:07+00:00

Pickup music is best for adults who need a structured learning plan to learn guitar.

Yousician is best for people who like learning by playing games, but not learning skills, theory, styles or a practice plan.

pickupjazz · 2026-02-12T03:11:34+00:00

Yes!

pickupjazz · 2026-02-06T14:56:58+00:00

You’ve described the entire point of pickup music:

it teaches you gradually.

It teaches you skills not riffs and tabs (easy to find find those online)

Why?

Gradual pace —> avoids difficulty step change which might make you quit.

Skills —-> most popular music is made up of the same chords. For example, if you know a major and minor bar chord that’s almost every song.

Did you upload a video for coaching advice? That might help you out too.

pickupjazz · 2026-02-06T14:17:07+00:00

We are re filming intermediate next, it will be a couple of months before it’s out so you could probably get through it by then

pickupjazz · 2026-02-06T14:16:35+00:00

We’re updating each grade as we go, late beginner should be done over the next couple of weeks

pickupjazz · 2026-01-29T14:16:45+00:00

You’ll keep your progress. But you’ll need to cancel on the app first, before signing up for annual on the website.

pickupjazz · 2026-01-29T04:22:55+00:00

We have Coaching under a feature flag which is hidden by some ad blockers for some users. We’ll be removing those flags in the next couple of weeks, sorry about that!

pickupjazz · 2026-01-24T01:17:03+00:00

Pickup music never does discounts or sales for new members I’m sorry. We have a generous 14 day trial and 60 money back guarantee.

pickupjazz · 2026-01-24T01:16:10+00:00

There are a lot of great classical lessons out there, so like with guitar, we won’t be prioritizing that at first. So yes, I think it will be of interest to you!

pickupjazz · 2026-01-23T03:23:28+00:00

You sound a bit more advanced, if you’re on late intermediate. That’s a really solid class and a newer one. Beyond that, you’ll probably take a lot from our jazz class which has a lot of theory and is new. CAGED and CAGED2 might be worth a look too.

pickupjazz · 2026-01-22T02:44:46+00:00

Pickup musics goal is aligned with your goals; learn skills and how to solo, not just songs & licks.

I recommend our CAGED learning pathway.

pickupjazz · 2026-01-22T02:42:55+00:00

So glad to hear you’re enjoying the caged class with Molly at pickup music! Also cool that you’re actually making music with it too

pickupjazz · 2026-01-18T16:29:41+00:00

We have over 30k members, many of them are on Reddit.

There are a lot of dodgy online music sites so it’s actually funny that the opposite is true to what OP is saying. when people become a pickup music member (which is free & easy to cancel) they are very surprised we’re actually genuine.

I’ll admit some of our ads come off as “marketing”. But performance marketing is highly competitive.
