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 .
About as accurate as my transcribingā¦

Just signed up! Hope I can make it past the first 30 days 
Iām 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 Iāve 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 arenāt covered in Grade 3 or 4, afaik?

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.

The good thing about blues is that it doesnāt have to be crazy fast. Some slow blues are really fun.
