Artem - Before & After BLIM Class 1

Community Recordings Blues Immersion (BLIM) Before & After
1

I procrastinated on editing for a bit, but better late than never :slight_smile:

My before & after have a bit of a different format. At the end of each month of BLIM (and before the first month), I would sit down, improvise over the same jam track, and record myself. Now, having 7 recordings over the same jam track, I glued all of them together to get a single “progression” recording. And here it is - Stream BLIM Full Progress by Artem Platonov | Listen online for free on SoundCloud.

Here’s how it works chronologically:

  • Chorus 1 - before the course
  • Chorus 2 - after month 1
  • Chorus 3 - after month 2
  • Chorus 4 - after month 3
  • Chorus 5 - after month 4
  • Chorus 6 - after month 5
  • Chorus 7+ - after the course

Sorry for not having the video to go with it - I wanted to make the recording process as simple as possible to make sure that I would actually do it every month :smiley:

I had an absolute blast with the course and would highly recommend it. It is definitely the best online music course I have done so far, and I did quite a few (I’ve been a self-taught piano, harmonica, and guitar player for ~7 years). Huge thanks to Justin, Richard, Fanny, the rest of the JustinGuitar crew, my BLIM 1 classmates, and the wonderful community that motivates me to keep learning every day :heart:

I think these progress compilations are the the best things one can give to current (and future) Blimmers. It gives me hope! Thank you

I listened to this the other night and was very inspired by your progress. It gave me a boost and its so nice to know there are others that went through it before me. I know that the hard work I am doing right now early in the second unit is really going to pay off. Thanks for posting this and taking the time to do it.

You guys and gal who went through the course that first time. I realize, you trail blazers did not have other students to look toward for advice and questions like we do. We are really lucky. So again thank you for this unique prospective.
