It's like a lightbulb finally went on! For years, I was strumming away on my guitar, making music but without a true understanding of how everything connected. The CAGED system has been a game-changer. It's provided me with a clear roadmap of the fretboard, especially when it comes to understanding how chord shapes relate to each other and how to easily locate them in different positions. It's like I finally understand my guitar. This system has moved me from just playing to actually knowing what I'm doing. Highly recommend for anyone feeling lost on the fretboard!

Really good to help structue your learning so that you're not just playing random songs you like without context. I still sometimes start to learn some of my faves in-between, but pickup makes it super easy to jump back into learning fundamentals so that when i play the songs i like, i can notice that i'm better at things like switching chords, picing patterns etc.

The CAGED system pathway is very informative. It follows a very detailed approach to learning how it all works. I started the course with prior knowledge and Molly Miller helped with a few crucial aha moments.

I’ve learned so much over the past few months from where I was stuck for so many years. I went from not knowing what to focus on to having an arsenal of tools and knowing what direction I want to take my playing. Great instructors and lessons!

just finished the CAGEDI pathway. It took me longer than 6 weeks as some days are more challenging (and key) than others.I felt like it was worth investing more time on it. I spend a couple weeks only on some lessons at times where I felt more work was needed on my end. Overall I feel I have learned more in these weeks than in years of practice. Only critique are: i) I feel it would be useful to give some "homework" for some of the key lessons. For example advising the students to play over tracks "x,y,z" to practice improvisation on chord changes. The advice though is still given if you ask a questio. ii) Worth giving more lessons on some key topic such as improvisation on chord changes "outside" the scale Anyway, See you in the CAGED 2 :)

Brilliant! Long story short i started with fender play and i am now using pickup music. Karl the tutor is very easy to follow and informative. I feel i have improved hugely while using this website.

I entered the program thanks to one of those adds that begin with "let me know if this sounds like you..." and proceeds to talk about the intermediate plateau. I felt immediately identified and decided to give it a shot. Just 2 weeks and, if I liked it, I could do a whole month. In those 2 weeks I did maybe 7-8 exercises (which isn't much per-se), and one day I simply grabbed my guitar to play one song that I hadn't practiced in a long while (Weight of Dreams - Greta Van Fleet). I was expecting to be rusty, but I felt how my hand was positioning itself where it needed to be. Better yet, even when I didn't remember what went next, my hand started playing it on its own because it knew where to find the sounds. After this I 100% decided to get an extra month and I'm regretting not having gone for a full year on the spot!

So much learning!
