What the course does

It cuts the song into 25 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, F -- 4 exercises, about 34 minutes.
  2. Bars 18-61 -- 5 exercises, about 23 minutes.
  3. Bars 33-60 -- 6 exercises, about 29 minutes.
  4. Through Part F and the Chorus 3 -- 4 exercises, about 29 minutes.
  5. Through Part F and the Outro -- 5 exercises, about 28 minutes.
  6. Through the Outro and the Outro 2 -- 4 exercises, about 25 minutes.
  7. The whole song -- 3 exercises, about 15 minutes. Open above.
