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 -- E, G -- 4 exercises, about 31 minutes.
  2. Through Part C -- 5 exercises, about 31 minutes.
  3. Bars 4-23 -- 5 exercises, about 24 minutes.
  4. Through the Chorus and Part I -- 4 exercises, about 26 minutes. Open above.
  5. Bars 40-82 -- 7 exercises, about 34 minutes.
  6. The whole song -- 6 exercises, about 27 minutes.
