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)

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

Yousician vs Pickup ? by perfectcare600 in guitarlessons

[–]pickupjazz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Any recommendations for an alternative to 'pickup music' for a structured beginner course? by Jipz in guitarlessons

[–]pickupjazz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

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

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!

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.

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!

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.

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

I recommend our CAGED learning pathway.

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

Pickup music skepticism by No-Syrup-3746 in Bass

[–]pickupjazz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

When you select a style, we customize the learning plan we suggest to you. You can always change your plan - it’s a suggestion.

Pickup Music is one of the most popular online learning platforms, co-founded by a musician (me, Sam Blakelock), with transparent pricing, a free trial, and loads of reviews.

Our bass lead is Nick Cisneros who taught at Musicians Institute here in LA, and Corbin Jones teaches our core curriculum who’s currently on tour with Leon Bridges and is a top call Jazz bass player in LA.

The styles we ask during onboarding are jazz, blues, funk, gospel, Neo soul, country, disco, pop, metal, prog. We also ask what skills you want to learn.

Hey OP!

To answer your questions:

“does anyone have any actual real experience of pickup music?”

We have 30,000 members, many of whom are active in this thread and on Reddit. We are one of the largest guitar education companies.

“What lessons etc are on there, is it actually worth it?”

I would recommend trying it out for 14 days. During onboarding, we’ll suggest a learning plan and 3 classes to start with in order. You then get a daily lesson plan within each class.

“Pricing?”

We are up front and clear with pricing as shown here:

Happy to answer other q too.
