What the course does

It cuts the song into 47 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.

70 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 43 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

200 bars, about 4:44 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 47 exercises over 13 sittings, about 28 minutes each.
