What the course does

It cuts the song into 50 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 -- O, B -- 4 exercises, about 25 minutes.
  2. The grooves the song is built on -- X -- 2 exercises, about 26 minutes.
  3. Through Part B -- 3 exercises, about 25 minutes.
  4. Through Part B and Part I -- 5 exercises, about 30 minutes.
