Don’t be afraid to go back to the start! You have the course for life.

Don’t stress if you fall behind. As others have said, you can return to the material again and again. And if you’re still closer to beginner than intermediate (like me), make it a marathon not a sprint.
Also, pick your priorities. I have a weekly private teacher and thought I would get super-charged instruction by doing this course . This backfired for me. The BLIM videos and practice – together with the demands of life – made it hard to make meaningful progress on private lesson songs. I tried to align things and asked my teacher for BLIM-relevant songs, but this didn’t really work either because he is not synched to the course. So I’m taking the BLIM course at a more leisurely pace, which is a bit of a shame because there’s value in keeping up and taking part in the challenges etc. Instead,I’d recommend that if you also have a private guitar teacher, give him/her details about your BLIM practice, and consider less frequent private lessons.

I agree with what you are saying about private lessons. I started using my weekly lesson as an extension of BLIM. It helps that my instructor is a professional blues guitarist.

@Richard_close2u, glad you’re making this thread public. I think a lot of future BLIMmers want some of this good information before they sign up. It’s good to have a clear idea of what to expect so you know if you have time and true desire to take the course.
