What the course does

It cuts the song into 30 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 -- A, C -- 5 exercises, about 32 minutes.
  2. Bars 5-45 -- 6 exercises, about 32 minutes.
  3. Bars 15-28 -- 6 exercises, about 30 minutes.
  4. Bars 22-54 -- 5 exercises, about 31 minutes.
  5. Through Part H and Part K -- 4 exercises, about 26 minutes. Open above.
  6. Bars 67-83 -- 6 exercises, about 35 minutes.
  7. The whole song -- 3 exercises, about 17 minutes.
