What the course does

It cuts the song into 33 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 -- 2 exercises, about 19 minutes.
  2. The grooves the song is built on -- D, F -- 2 exercises, about 30 minutes.
  3. Bars 1-109 -- 5 exercises, about 30 minutes.
  4. Through the Chorus -- 10 exercises, about 32 minutes.
  5. Through the Chorus -- 7 exercises, about 31 minutes. Open above.
