Blues Immersion - I'm in for BLIM - yay - who else is BLIMing?

Similar price for me. Good to be here and look forward to seeing videos of progress. I have just recorded my first, and will upload shortly. Looking forward to some serious blues playing, following this course. :smiley:

Guess there will need to be a drop zone for BLIM recordings, yet to discover if that has been set up yet. One for @JustinGuitar @FannyJustinGuitar @Richard_close2u @LievenDV @DavidP Iā€™d guess or this thread will get a bit muddy.

This is one of the reasons for not uploading yet. :smiley:

Tried dropping a comment in the Record Yourself Now ā€œlessonā€ as it seemed a logical space to use but I was not authorised to post there. Early days. :sunglasses:

FAO EVERYONE

Blues Immersion Community Section

There is a section already created and it will be opened up for BLIM members very soon.

It will follow the usual format - a topic for each lesson plus other sections for more, including recordings etc.

This prep module, the 54, 51 and 53 minute lessons had me getting ready to make a coffee and sit down for the long haulā€¦ turns out those were supposed to be seconds and the lesson runtime in the sidebar is wrong :rofl:.

About as accurate as my transcribingā€¦

Just signed up! Hope I can make it past the first 30 days :joy:

Iā€™m unsure how ready I am, TBH. After about 2/3rds of grade 3, I took a year long detour into PMT, fingerstyle and classical music, via JG and another website. I also jumped around and did bits and pieces of grade 4, I feel my technique and playing has improved a lot but transcribing, bending strings, vibrato, and knowing what notes to play while soloing over my own chord loops are my weak spots. For the past month or two Iā€™ve been listening to Blues, playing finger style acoustic blues, trying to get my head in the game. Fingers crossed!

Question: I see BLIM Units 2-5 cover scale patterns 2-5 ā€” is it important to know those patterns before BLIM starts or will that be covered in each Unit? They arenā€™t covered in Grade 3 or 4, afaik?
