What the course does

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.

  2. Through the Break and the Outro -- 6 exercises, about 32 minutes.
  3. Through the Outro and the Outro 2 -- 9 exercises, about 31 minutes. Open above.
