What the course does

It cuts the song into 29 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 -- C, H -- 4 exercises, about 29 minutes.
  2. Through the Chorus and Part E -- 3 exercises, about 29 minutes.
  3. Bars 20-43 -- 5 exercises, about 24 minutes. Open above.
  4. Through the Chorus 2 and Part G -- 5 exercises, about 28 minutes.
  5. Bars 53-107 -- 7 exercises, about 34 minutes.
  6. Through the Outro 2 -- 10 exercises, about 27 minutes.
  7. The whole song -- 4 exercises, about 21 minutes.
