What the course does

It cuts the song into 15 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, C -- 3 exercises, about 27 minutes. Open above.
  2. Through the Chorus and Part D -- 4 exercises, about 21 minutes.
  3. Bars 45-69 -- 6 exercises, about 35 minutes.
  4. The whole song -- 4 exercises, about 19 minutes.
