The beat

What the course does

It cuts the song into 48 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 -- J, M -- 2 exercises, about 22 minutes.
  2. The grooves the song is built on -- F -- 5 exercises, about 30 minutes.
  3. Through Part A and Part F -- 4 exercises, about 26 minutes.
  4. Through Part F and the Chorus -- 5 exercises, about 30 minutes. Open above.
  5. Bars 18-33 -- 7 exercises, about 37 minutes.
