Hello Friends!!!
What a journey has been this 6 months. I took my time to watch again all the videos that I made and I can’t believe all the achievements that I made
I wanted to tell you my story: I started playing guitar in 2022 online, but didn’t make any progress in that time and actually felt really lost, I lit almost quit, because I didn’t know were to start.
The next video was my very first recording at that time. (fun fact I made a lot of mistakes and record that video over and over again haha, my poor son was so bored, he was in charge of the percusion and he end up playing almost with his head haha )
In 2023 I was so unmotivated with playing guitar, so one day I went to youtube and found one of the justin´s video lessons and I was surprised with his teaching methods, so in August 2023 I sign up in justinguitar page and started the beginner lessons, start from scratch. Complete all 3 beginner modules and the sos strumming course, so of course in 2025 I ended up enrolled in BLIM course ( I had my doubts in that time about if I was going to be able to made any progress because I felt like I needed more experience with guitar playing )
I have no idea about blues at all (maybe I was familiar with some of the BB king songs, and Johnny B Goode song), but at the start of BLIM I find out all this amazing playlist and blues music, I started to listening to SRV, Freddie King, T-Bone Walker. I felt like a was a teenager again discovering new music.
This was my first recording in BLIM for the prep module, trying to do a solo:
And by comparison this is a video that I recorded today, playing the unit 6 licks in the medley in full speed. I can’t believe how much improvement I made in this 6 months with good education can do wonders
I am so happy with the results of this course, was way more than I expected, from justin explaining every topic, the course material, the amazing community, the tips of Richard and Dave. As I said in the beginning I thought that I was way too beginner to made this but the way the material is structured made really easy for me to learn and an excellent tool as a first approach from blues, and lit opened the doors for a more skilled me, and made mayor improvement in every aspect of my guitar playing, not just for blues. I had so many songs and solos that couldn’t play before blim and now its like I gain a super power to achieve it.
Bonus: Here is a recording of the song I wish you were here (and the little solo)
