What the course does

It cuts the song into 27 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 -- G, D -- 2 exercises, about 27 minutes.
  2. The grooves the song is built on -- B -- 4 exercises, about 30 minutes.
  3. Bars 6-20 -- 6 exercises, about 24 minutes.
  4. Bars 16-73 -- 4 exercises, about 34 minutes.
  5. Bars 24-35 -- 7 exercises, about 33 minutes. Open above.
