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 -- B -- 3 exercises, about 30 minutes.
  2. Through the Chorus and Part C -- 5 exercises, about 27 minutes.
  3. Bars 33-64 -- 6 exercises, about 30 minutes. Open above.
  4. Through Part C and the Chorus 3 -- 8 exercises, about 28 minutes.
  5. Bars 109-128 -- 5 exercises, about 30 minutes.
  6. Through the Outro and the Outro 2 -- 4 exercises, about 27 minutes.
  7. The whole song -- 1 exercise, about 10 minutes.
