What the course does

It cuts the song into 21 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 -- G, A -- 2 exercises, about 20 minutes.
  2. Bars 1-17 -- 7 exercises, about 36 minutes.
  3. Bars 13-25 -- 5 exercises, about 20 minutes.
  4. Through the Chorus and the Break 2 -- 6 exercises, about 30 minutes.
  5. The whole song -- 6 exercises, about 30 minutes. Open above.
