What the course does

It cuts the song into 24 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 -- H, A -- 3 exercises, about 26 minutes.
  2. Bars 6-16 -- 7 exercises, about 34 minutes.
  3. Bars 9-43 -- 4 exercises, about 27 minutes.
  4. Bars 55-74 -- 4 exercises, about 19 minutes.
  5. Through Part J and the Chorus 3 -- 4 exercises, about 30 minutes.
  6. Bars 89-124 -- 5 exercises, about 24 minutes. Open above.
  7. The whole song -- 1 exercise, about 10 minutes.
