What the course does

It cuts the song into 17 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 -- F, C -- 4 exercises, about 33 minutes.
  2. Bars 26-48 -- 4 exercises, about 29 minutes.
  3. Bars 47-71 -- 5 exercises, about 23 minutes.
  4. Bars 86-130 -- 6 exercises, about 25 minutes.
  5. The whole song -- 1 exercise, about 10 minutes. Open above.
