What the course does

It cuts the song into 62 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 -- 5 exercises, about 27 minutes.
  2. The grooves the song is built on -- AB -- 6 exercises, about 34 minutes.
  3. The grooves the song is built on -- R (a two-bar phrase) -- 3 exercises, about 22 minutes.
  4. Through Part A and the Chorus -- 4 exercises, about 31 minutes.
  5. Bars 43-192 -- 6 exercises, about 32 minutes.

What do I need on the kit?
