Here are my 3 advices for future Blimmers. Hope it helps.
1. Don’t give up!
Feeling lost during your first month of BLIM? Totally normal. Everyone arrives (at least me
) thinking they’re signing up for Blues Guitar, and suddenly they’re also studying course navigation, community communication, practice tool mastering, recording technique, playlist downloading (it’s that simple …when you know
) and the mysterious art of “how do I upload my recording!?”
Relax. First of all, you will receive amazing support from the JG team all along the way, especially the first month and then, after Unit 1, things start repeating like a blues riff — you’ll know the standard structure of each Unit, where everything is, how it works, how to organise yourself …
. So, don’t give up : Ca va aller 
2. Manage your own expectation
No, you won’t become Stevie Ray Vaughan (at least : I won’t
) in just six months while managing your daily life, even if you’ve secretly hired someone to do your job, cook your meals and pay your bills 
The 6th and final month / Unit is there to help you understand how to continue your blues journey afterwards, building on everything you’ve learned. It’s not “just” 6 months; it’s the beginning of something long-term, based on a strong basement : the BLIM knowledge. Knowing this upfront can help - I think - to reduce the pressure we put on ourselves during the 6 months of the BLIM course.
3- Record yourself … but don’t focus too much on recording technique
Record yourself when Justin encourages it. Record before starting the BLIM course, record for challenges or even record just for yourself to analyse what you play. Share your recording and don’t worry about your level — we all start where we are. It’s not a competition. You’re simply taking advantage of a unique opportunity: receiving world-class guidance from world-class teachers (including Justin) plus generous support from other students, in a super-welcoming community of blues lovers just like you.
So yes — record!
But don’t stress about achieving “studio perfection.” You’re not recording for a record label — you’re just providing something clear enough for teachers to help you. BLIM is already demanding; if you try to master advanced recording techniques on top of it, the risk is you to spend hours on gear instead of what really matters: learning and practicing the blues.
4- And … a fourth advice (for free and probably the most important one …). As Justin often says : don’t forget that the ultimate goal of all this is to have fun ! So : have fun
