What the course does

It cuts the song into 18 exercises -- the grooves, the fills, and the joins between sections, which is where players actually come off -- and puts them in the order a teacher would. Each one opens on a reduction you can already play and adds the notes back a rung at a time, with a tempo to reach and a gate to pass before the next.

  1. The grooves the song is built on -- E -- 3 exercises, about 28 minutes.
  2. Bars 7-15 -- 4 exercises, about 29 minutes.
  3. Through the Chorus and the Outro -- 6 exercises, about 27 minutes.
  4. Bars 15-86 -- 6 exercises, about 24 minutes.
  5. The whole song -- 4 exercises, about 27 minutes.
