OK, you might find you know a lot of stuff and you can carry on forward quickly, but there will be hints and tips that, maybe, you've forgotten. A basic refresher doesn't do any harm at all.
Also, it sets the tone for the rest of the course.
The teachers are excellent and really know their stuff.
Starting from the beginning will also show how far along your abilities are. You might progress very quickly at the start, (depending on your ablities) but you will get to a point where you catch up to your present level and you can take it from there.
I think this approach will serve you well.
Joe.

I did exactly this when I first joined this site 3 years ago and it worked out well for me. I had been playing for many years and wanted to improve my lead playing and be able to improvise. I chose to go through the Blues course and exchanged some messages with Anders, who teaches the Blues course. I blew right through my plateau! It still took work and determination...there are no magic bullets...but I got there.
There's always something new to learn, so beyond your plataue will be another one waiting for you LOL. Once you blow through one, you know you can do it so it's not as intimidating.
Good luck Michaellaws92...let us know how your journey goes or if you need any help.
