The fills

There are no fills to speak of: the part holds one beat the whole way through.

What the course does

It cuts the song into 19 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, B -- 2 exercises, about 21 minutes.
  2. Through Part B and the Break -- 4 exercises, about 26 minutes.
  3. Through Part B and the Chorus -- 4 exercises, about 26 minutes.
  4. Bars 32-79 -- 4 exercises, about 28 minutes.
  5. Bars 78-98 -- 5 exercises, about 29 minutes.
