What the course does

It cuts the song into 31 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 -- 3 exercises, about 30 minutes.
  2. Bars 5-82 -- 6 exercises, about 33 minutes.
  3. Through Part E and Part G -- 3 exercises, about 30 minutes. Open above.
  4. Bars 85-103 -- 5 exercises, about 27 minutes.
  5. Through Part G and Part I -- 4 exercises, about 23 minutes.
  6. Through Part K and Part L -- 3 exercises, about 28 minutes.
  7. Bars 115-163 -- 6 exercises, about 28 minutes.
  8. The whole song -- 3 exercises, about 19 minutes.
