Best Pentatonic and Blues Courses

I’m trying to learn pentatonic blues. I know a couple shapes but want to put them together instead of sounding like scales.

I know the main Aminor 5th fret and a couple other shapes in Aminor

What are the top most recommended online blues courses?

I've posted this too many times, just to make sure everyone has seen it...Buddy Guy

So - a little context....Buddy was a major reason I fell in love with blues. I don't listen to much of his music now, and have "moved on", but never forgotten. Even if you don't like Buddy, I think this is a performance you can respect! I get why you may not like him overall, but give this a proper fair listen. To me, of all the things ever recorded of Buddy, this is my favorite. It's SO UNIQUE for the era and is just strange in a way, and that's what makes it great. His melodic stuff is all slightly off kilter, ready to collapse into a mess, right on the razor's edge, and he delivers. Right from the intro solo, you know what you're in for. This is my desert island Buddy performance.

OK....DO YOU have one? Link? I am open to having my mind changed!

Been studying to learn more about jazz theory and improvisation through what I can find on google, to expand my vocabulary and not be limited to only being able to solo over i-iv-v progressions. Been taking what I learned to apply on this backing track

Wrote an opening theme for it to build on top of into my improv and my playing came out sounding fusion-y.
Not blues, but hey fusions just a child born from blues 🤌🏽
