What the course does

It cuts the song into 22 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, D -- 4 exercises, about 30 minutes.
  2. Bars 15-27 -- 8 exercises, about 27 minutes.
  3. Through Part B and the Break 2 -- 4 exercises, about 30 minutes. Open above.
  4. Bars 45-61 -- 7 exercises, about 26 minutes.
  5. Through the Outro and the Outro 2 -- 7 exercises, about 27 minutes.
  6. The whole song -- 1 exercise, about 10 minutes.
