What the course does

It cuts the song into 19 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 -- D, B -- 2 exercises, about 29 minutes.
  2. Through Part A and the Outro -- 6 exercises, about 26 minutes.
  3. Through the Outro and the Outro 2 -- 3 exercises, about 24 minutes.
  4. Through the Outro 2 -- 7 exercises, about 32 minutes. Open above.
  5. Through the Outro 2 -- 8 exercises, about 27 minutes.

64 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 42 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
