Let the camera roll in the background and don’t watch it for a few hours after you have finished. Let your head clear. Watch it with an open mind and take in what works, what doesn’t and what needs work. Make notes on how your bends, phasing, etc are coming along. Most important don’t be to hard on yourself remember you’re learning the blue so one day you can play the blues.
You’ve come a long way since those yellow boxes. 
Way to go, Toby! I’m proud for you on your BLIM Journey!! Sounding great!
Yet again wise counsel, thank you Rick. 
And yet Master Poe, I have still a much greater distance to walk on this endless journey.
Oh don’t worry there have been many, rest assured ! Thanks for the congrats and support as always. You never know Balou, one day you may get that Blues itch and when that happens, it will need scratching.

Big thanks for taking time out for listening and providing encouragement with you comments. A long three months ahead but it will be worth it. 
Hi Toby! As always you have really pleased me with great live performances. I didn’t choose from them, I liked them all 
Thanks for sharing.

Hi Toby, I am starting to find time to get back into the guitar and also the forum and there i find you are deeply engrossed in Justins blues course 
. I really enjoyed watching your BLIM diaries. When i saw you playing with a thumb pick , i thought , how the hell does he do that, I tried and gave that up very quickly. Around the start of this year I was a beta tester for Justin for this course , I only reviewed the first module but I could see the structure of the overall course , what a monster amount of material it is. It took me ages just to watch the videos and materials on the first module to give him feedback. Don’t understand the BBP thing you discuss but I find it impossible to believe that you would have done anything disrespectful leading moderators to be involved , if indeed that is what happened. IMO too often people these days are in transmit mode only and often without making the effort to ensure their blinkers are at least occasionally removed. Look forward to seeing your continued BLIM progress. Cheers Eric
Thanks for that Mike, certainly no need to chose 
glad you liked them all.
Hi Eric
Yes I saw the comments in recent OM post, so good to see you getting back into playing. Sometimes life gets in the way. Thanks for watching the diaries, its a quick way to show where I am and how far I need to be !! It was good to see your comment on Beta testing, it is reassuring that Justin had folk doing that. And yes there is a heck of a lot of material each month, so you have to be fully committed to getting through it all. It won’t be mastered but it is possible to get a good foundation laid for each module. But as our BBP group discussed recently that not only needs motivation but also disciplined approach to practice and with that comes the need to blow off steam now and then and have some fun and not take life too seriously. Hey not for everyone but it was working for us and we have now moved on, so don’t fret about all that nonsense.
And as for the thumb pick ? Its been a hard transition. When I started the Acoustic Blues stuff, guess getting on for 2 years now, I tried it a few times and did not get on at all but see it is in common use for that style of music. The thumb worked on its own but often the bass notes would be a little lost. So I tried again and got some Black Mountain picks, better than my old wraparound Dunlop’s. Took many weeks but I am now getting used to them. There is a compromise on strumming with them, that I have not quite worked out yet. But for general picking it is getting close to dropping the WIP tag
Anyway, thanks for listen. May catch you at the next OM but I am normally out the door by 9am each day, so the start time is a bit of a challenge.
Take care and enjoy the playing.
