To be honest, I was a bit apprehensive when I signed up, even with the early bird discount, it was still a big enough amount to make me gulp.
After going through all 18 lessons of the Preparation chapter I’m well and truly excited about this course. Woo Hoo.
I’m thrilled for you, mate!
You are absolutely going to love it and (even though it will be tough and overwhelming), you’re going to progress in leaps and bounds like your fellow odd-Oz-man @sclay 
I’m a wise man and, verily, I see and will follow this bright star (rising in the East this time) 
Thanks, the only concern I’ve got is I only play acoustic. I do have an electric but my desire to pull that out is really low.
It is an exciting agenda that’s been laid out, listened to my first blues podcast, great stuff
Hey Tony,
that’s great to hear!
But a considerable part of it will be soloing, including bending and vibrato, and at least the bending would be quite a bit harder. When I started BLIM, I had an acoustic with 10s strings and even considered switching the g string to unwound for the bending, but after all, throughout the course, I could bond more with my electric.
I’d definitely recommend to give it a go too… maybe think about why you don’t like your electric so much and if you could improve a few things with it? (Setup/Pickups/Amp sound/ Strings/heavy weight?)
Anyway, I’m sure you’ll have a lot of fun! 
And I guess that, like me, you’ll especially love the first part!
Welcome aboard the BLIM bus.
Those preparation units are immersive and challenging in their own right. They do signal that the six month course is very intensive. You will likely be spending many hours each week to follow the course and maintain progress at an appropriate rate. So Bravo and good vibes to you for getting the preliminaries done already.
Therein lies a major, super important obstacle I urge you to overcome. The course is largely geared around playing electric. Not solely as some elements of rhythm and songs etc are both electric and acoustic. But please, retrieve your electric, re-string it, clean it, fall in love with it al over again.
And - spend time between now and the first unit, playing that electric and getting familiar and comfortable with your hands making the moves on it.
Have fun and good luck with it.
Good to hear you signed up for Blim, Tony.
Dig the electric out and give it a go!
I don’t have an acoustic but everyone says string bending is far easier on electric. I guess everything else will be just as easy/hard on acoustic.
We’re in the last unit of class 3 and yes, it’s an intense initial 6 months and can seem overwhelming. My advice is to prioritise what you do in each unit depending on your interests/needs and available time.
Don’t forget you have lifetime access to the course and that should help you realise you don’t have to cover everything in the unit each month. It also helps with justifying the cost!
It’s a great course and worth the money…me thinks!
Wow! Good for you, Tony!
I’m excited for you
Sounds like it’s sure to be a worthy investment.
Wishing you a lot of fun with it 
Good for you Tony! I’m sure you will enjoy yourself and learn a lot! And there might be times that feel like “hard yards”, but it’s worth it!
Agree with others regarding the use of the electric.
Congratulations on taking this step and good luck with your journey! I’m considering it as well for the future but from how intensive I’ve heard it is I’d imagine it would take up a significant portion of my available practice time so I might be waiting until I feel a plateau coming on, which still feels a little ways off as a relatively newer player.
Do you have a lot of interest in Blues music itself? I can enjoy it from time to time, but like metal for me, it’s not the main type of music that inspires me. I know there’s a lot to learn from it though.
Thanks, just not into electric guitar at all. Justin talks about the history of blues, when they started it was only acoustic. Glad to hear you enjoyed it.
Thanks for the encouragement. Blues started with acoustic only and that’s me. When I listed my fav blues artists, overwhelmingly acoustic. 17 year old me would be really disgusted with my acoustic obsession in later life. haha
Thanks for your congratulations. Being retired I have the time to put into it. We’ll see how the motivation holds out.
Do I have a lot of interest in blues. Absolutely. Love the blues, especially the acoustic stuff, Harry Manx, Kelly Joe Phelps, Guy Davis, Rory Block, that sort of stuff.
When I started playing guitar nearly 15 years ago now, I expected to do a lot more blues and I have spent some time on it several times only to not have it stick. Why? I’ve been having so much fun with my 60s and 70s popular covers and folk songs that I just kept learning new songs and focusing on the songs.
I now play at a weekly jam at the local men’s shed and invariably blues songs get played. I can do the blues shuffle fairly well on A and E but want to a lot better at it.
You will love it. It is definitely one of the types of things that the more you put into it the more you get out. I really feel like the class and information was well put togeather.
Hi Tony, yes I’m similar in that I signed up with reservations but the prep course certainly has me excited about the possibilities of improvement over the next 6 months. All the signs from previous Blimmers are very positive !
Tony Ted you will love it, that’s all I can say HEC
It’s an awesome course. The only problem is that the course has an end. 
It’s so much fun that I’d love to be in immersion 12 months a year with the whole community, getting new videos every months like some kind of blues-based Netflix subscription.
imagine how much it would cost 
Oops, I didn’t think about that I assumed the BLIM-Netflix would be priced similar to the other subscription services.
You all have cursed me… been shopping for an electric, what has this world come to???
Dod you buy one?
Do yku need any pointers?
