ok just got the email about this, is it something I need to turn up on time for or do within a certain timeframe? I really have not paid attention to all this its been somewhat confusing
nevermind just had a look I see what it is now
Justin will release 1 module per month for the next 6 months. You can watch the video anytime you want, you will have lifetime access to the course. There will be also be Zoom lesson once a month which will be recorded.

Hey Toby @TheMadman_tobyjenner just making sure you saw that registration is open. I know how much you wanted to sign up!
To everyone that signed up already, hope you all enjoy the course! Blues is not my focus so I won’t be joining, but I am oddly feeling a little bit of FOMO watching people sign up

Seeing the enthusiasm from so many forum folk I like and admire leaves me sad about my lack of interest in ‘the blues’ 
Sounds like it will be a super fun as well as rewarding experience. I hope you all have a blast and continue to share your blues journey here in the main community
I am slightly puzzled why the number of participants is limited 
Even if there’s a once a month online zoom lesson, I presume that’ll be largely Justin adding additional material and answering questions sent in about the course as it proceeds?
An extra $500 for every participant would be a significant support for this great site and Justin’s living 
Mah baby left meeeee… 
Nah… not yet

A post was merged into an existing topic: Blues Immersion - I’m in for BLIM - yay - who else is BLIMing?
You clearly got the blues Brian!
I assume/hope (based on what I read in all the emails and now in the month 0 from the course) that Justin will try to listen to people’s recordings, answer questions/guide students, etc.
So I guess it’s easier to manage when you have a limited number of students. Now, what this number is, I have no clue. I guess we’ll find out.

I feel with you, Brian. Although I’m very much interested in Blues, my current playing level doesn’t meet the requirements for this course. Would have been great to walk this path together with so many of you great community members 
.
I wish you all lots of fun and can’t wait to see and hear the results of this musical journey

Thanks for the heads up Jenn, I’m signed up and happy. Don’t forget the Blues underpins everything, so learning the language applies to pretty much to all of the rock soloing that followed and not only rock. Simples !

@brianlarsen as I said to Jenn the Blues underpins so many genres, so don’t discount it too quickly, just think of the Blues Rock of someone like Rory Gallagher or even Angus.

Luka thanks for the DM, I had an early night and was sparko when that would have landed. My assumption from the blurb was that the doors would be opened at the Live Club this evening and close at 2359 on the 11th. Was not expecting midnight at the oasis or would have stayed up for the launch but all is good, I’m in.

Totally agree 
I’ve been working on the Blues lessons on the website and loving it! It’s really amped up my enthusiasm for playing/learning guitar and I thought it was already maxed at capacity TBH
There’s more than enough there to keep me going for a while and I don’t think my skill level is high enough for BLIM yet. Maybe if Justin runs the course again we could do it at the same time @NicoleKKB 
So loving all the buzz and excitement with BLIM though, it’s going to be amazing and fun for you guys. Also looking forward to updates and hearing results

Hello guys really need some advice about this, I’m torn between joining or leaving it for another time, I’m not at the suggested level yet, I’m only finishsing level 1, so I understand I’m not there yet but I would really love to do this course as the blues is the music I love and want to play.
Do I sign up and do what I can and then keep going using the lifetime access or do I wait until I’m a bit more nearer the skill level required?
As this is the first 1 I think it will be great and unique, also there is no guarentee it will be re run again.
Any advice from you more experienced players would be great.
I really want to sign up---- just not sure???
Regards
Chris
I very much relate to both of your statements .
I love the enthousiasm around here and at the same time it makes me a bit wistful. Some major health issues and a resulting chronical fatigue slowed down my progress a lot within the last months and I still haven’t started the intermediate Blues Lessons. Therefore, no way to sign up, as I couldn’t keep up a intense paced course anyway.
I wish you all lots of fun, have a great time and enjoy the trip !

Hi Chris
This should be the first of further classes, so as you are just completing Grade 1 I’d strongly suggest waiting. There will be a lot of skills and techniques in use that you are yet to discover. If you start to struggle you will become demoralised and that could actually lead to jacking in the guitar completely. This is a common problem that folks that try running before walking. You still need a shed load of foundation skills to be at the level to undertake this course. This may sound harsh but look at it more like tough love. I am well down the road from where you are now and thought long and hard about my skill sets being adequate for BLIM and spent quite a bit of time reviewing stuff I have done in the past.
So for now bide your time build a strong and deep foundation following the 3 beginner grades and acquire some chops. You will then be well and truly ready, especially if you have dipped you toes into Grade 4.
Just MHO and your mileage may vary.

. I hope, that you’ll overcome your health problems soon 
. Maybe, you can be part of the next BLIM course .
Gute Besserung!!
