Go for it!
Rob's courses are awesome. He has a very clear and to the point organisation. This one seems to be the firs course on what later became the Chord navigator courses, which i recommend going through, on par with Eric Haughen's Zen guitar courses. With this two giants you will go miles on the road to your improvment AND ENJOYMENT WHILE LEARNING (a thing not every instructor takes into acount )

Another Home Run Course by Rob Garland
Rob is an absolute master instructor, and he totally shines in this more “stretched out” Jamplay format. The lesson segments are longer than in his previous TrueFire releases, and while I do appreciate the more targeted TrueFire approach, the amount of info he shares in these longer JamPlay segments is pretty astounding. And in spite of the longer lesson format, it never drags. There’s no unnecessary filler at all, just excellent insight and guidance. While this course is probably fine as a stand-alone, I recommend it as a supplement to his Chord Navigator courses, all of which I’ve completed and recommend highly. I hope Rob continues to release TrueFire Courses, because he has a real gift of getting his concepts across in a way that resonates, and transforming your playing. He has certainly done that for me! In short, this course is highly recommended.
