What the course does

It cuts the song into 20 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 -- D, G -- 2 exercises, about 24 minutes.
  2. Through Part A and Part B -- 4 exercises, about 30 minutes.
  3. Through Part B and the Chorus -- 4 exercises, about 24 minutes.
  4. Through the Chorus and Part G -- 2 exercises, about 26 minutes. Open above.
  5. Bars 28-47 -- 4 exercises, about 19 minutes.
  6. Through Part G and the Chorus 3 -- 3 exercises, about 25 minutes.
