What the course does

It cuts the song into 26 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, A -- 2 exercises, about 29 minutes.
  2. Through Part A and the Chorus -- 4 exercises, about 28 minutes.
  3. Bars 9-25 -- 5 exercises, about 27 minutes.
  4. Through Part A and the Chorus 2 -- 2 exercises, about 20 minutes.
