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 -- A -- 4 exercises, about 25 minutes.
  2. Through the Chorus and Part D -- 5 exercises, about 27 minutes.
  3. Through Part D and Part F -- 5 exercises, about 26 minutes. Open above.
  4. Bars 44-77 -- 8 exercises, about 26 minutes.
  5. Bars 75-141 -- 8 exercises, about 29 minutes.
  6. Bars 137-156 -- 6 exercises, about 33 minutes.
  7. The whole song -- 1 exercise, about 10 minutes.
