What the course does

It cuts the song into 39 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, B -- 3 exercises, about 28 minutes.
  2. Bars 31-57 -- 6 exercises, about 23 minutes.
  3. Through the Chorus and Part G -- 3 exercises, about 30 minutes.
  4. Bars 65-169 -- 5 exercises, about 26 minutes.
  5. Bars 79-95 -- 5 exercises, about 30 minutes.
  6. Bars 89-126 -- 5 exercises, about 25 minutes.
  7. Bars 122-133 -- 6 exercises, about 27 minutes.
  8. Through the Chorus 4 and Part M -- 4 exercises, about 27 minutes.
  9. and 2 more sittings after that.
