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 -- B, G -- 3 exercises, about 26 minutes.
  2. Through the Chorus and Part C -- 4 exercises, about 27 minutes.
  3. Bars 68-112 -- 5 exercises, about 28 minutes.
  4. Bars 72-117 -- 4 exercises, about 19 minutes.
  5. Bars 113-129 -- 5 exercises, about 31 minutes.
  6. The whole song -- 2 exercises, about 14 minutes. Open above.
