What the course does

It cuts the song into 44 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 -- K, B -- 6 exercises, about 30 minutes.
  2. The grooves the song is built on -- L -- 4 exercises, about 22 minutes.
  3. Through Part S2 and Part E -- 5 exercises, about 30 minutes.
  4. Through Part E and Part H -- 6 exercises, about 29 minutes.
  5. Bars 19-39 -- 8 exercises, about 31 minutes. Open above.
