Totally agree with this… just watched Justin’s “Flexing Time: The Falling Leaf” lesson again yesterday & he starts off playing a Classical guitar. He does pretty well with the Baroque piece at the beginning of the lesson, but you can see that it’s not really his “comfort zone”.
I, for one, really enjoy his teaching style more than any other online guitar teacher & would love to see him host more guest players like the Joe Robinson lesson (kinda like the guest singers on several song lessons)! That was a cool one on fingerstyle playing!

P.S. I voted for Rock, Fingerstyle & Other (slide guitar).
As another I would suggest Fusion, it’s a genre that’s quite difficult to find any decent information on. I accept that it’s very much a crossover from Jazz sprinkled with other genres but it’s not easy to pick up on your own. I don’t know how many others would be interested, so obviously it would be dependent upon the amount of interest.
I was just thinking of fusion the other day for this topic after going down a rabbit hole a few days ago. Though, I’d still love a BLIM Advanced course and an Acoustic Blues Immersion Course. Justin will just have to cut down on holidays.
If we have now decided that Justin is going to cancel his holidays at our expense, he may start building an equally cool piano course and expand that piano learning lesson in 15 minutes of lessons similar to the beginner guitar up to and including…grade 3 or so
First blim groups 2 -3 etc, he will probably think
The poll has been running for a few days now and perhaps there is a trend starting to show with fingerstyle and rock pulling ahead, although this might change, however not clear what is in the other category.
I don’t think it is a secret ballot so I thought I would own up and say I voted for fingerstyle and country with reasons.
Fingerstyle - Justin does cover the basics in the early Grades and the Folk Finger Style course but I think this only scratches the surface. For instance Travis Picking I think is covered in only one lesson in the Folk course. I am not a BLIMer so don’t know how the course is structured but I would imagine is technique and style of various artists. As fingerstyle can be used in lots of genres it would perhaps be best suited to a paid for Graded Course like the strumming one.
Country - as only an acoustic guitar player myself, I think country songs work well when playing and singing solo. I take on board the often comment “ cowboy chords” but there is different styles of country songs that work well and have different techniques.
I’m not a blimmer myself and I doubt I could commit to a 6-month course, but I think any future immersion course should focus on a topic that Justin really feels comfortable with. I’m sure the quality of the content and the delivery of the BLIM course is at least on the same level as the “usual” courses and song lessons, and that’s something that should be preserved. Instead of requesting any genre-specific courses, I say the next one should be about anything that Justin feels really passionate about and has the amount of knowledge to share with us.
I agree. An in-depth fingerstyle course would be fun. I recently started the solo blues fingerstyle with matchmysound and it looks fun. But, it’s really different than BLIM. It’s like here’s a song and how to play it and it doesn’t go in depth about the style, the concepts and the techniques.
Reviving this old thread. But hey, did anyone catch the Latest newsletter? Justin specifically emphasized “new immersionS” (with an ‘s’). Do you think he’s cooking up a third immersion after the rock one? Or did I misinterpret something? :o

Piano…yes…this is a great idea! The one that makes more sense and something I would follow 
Intriguing…
