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?

Well Hec here I couldnā€™t resist so Iā€™m here and out comes the 36 year old Strat I hardly played all those years ago :worried:

No. In the preparation videos, Justin will tell you to revise pattern 1 and that we will learn the other patterns when the time comes in the course. :slightly_smiling_face:

The good thing about blues is that it doesnā€™t have to be crazy fast. Some slow blues are really fun.
