What the course does

It cuts the song into 51 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 -- 2 exercises, about 18 minutes.
  2. The grooves the song is built on -- F -- 3 exercises, about 27 minutes.
  3. The grooves the song is built on -- U -- 5 exercises, about 30 minutes. Open above.
