What the course does

It cuts the song into 16 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 -- B -- 3 exercises, about 26 minutes.
  2. Bars 15-57 -- 6 exercises, about 19 minutes.
  3. Through Part E and the Chorus 3 -- 3 exercises, about 23 minutes. Open above.
  4. Through the Chorus 3 -- 2 exercises, about 29 minutes.
  5. The whole song -- 7 exercises, about 28 minutes.
