What the course does

It cuts the song into 12 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 -- 3 exercises, about 18 minutes.
  2. Through the Chorus and Part E -- 4 exercises, about 29 minutes.
  3. Bars 91-106 -- 5 exercises, about 33 minutes. Open above.
  4. The whole song -- 2 exercises, about 14 minutes.
