What the course does

It cuts the song into 42 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, F, G -- 3 exercises, about 30 minutes.
  2. Through Part C and Part D -- 3 exercises, about 26 minutes.
  3. Bars 13-29 -- 6 exercises, about 34 minutes. Open above.
  4. Bars 32-56 -- 6 exercises, about 29 minutes.
  5. Through the Chorus 2 and Part C -- 5 exercises, about 29 minutes.
  6. Through Part C and Part L -- 3 exercises, about 25 minutes.
  7. Through Part L and Part M -- 3 exercises, about 25 minutes.
  8. Through Part M -- 4 exercises, about 31 minutes.
  9. and 4 more sittings after that.
