I believe the answer is:

unpick

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'forensically examine' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'some shogun pickups' is the wordplay.
'some' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue (some of the parts of the word are used).
'UNPICK' can be found hidden inside 'shogun pickups'.

Can you help me to learn more?
