What the course does

It cuts the song into 26 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 -- G, E -- 2 exercises, about 26 minutes.
  2. Bars 2-64 -- 6 exercises, about 31 minutes.
  3. Bars 2-20 -- 7 exercises, about 27 minutes.
  4. Through Part E and the Chorus -- 5 exercises, about 30 minutes. Open above.
  5. Bars 25-70 -- 6 exercises, about 26 minutes.
  6. Bars 67-90 -- 5 exercises, about 24 minutes.
  7. The whole song -- 3 exercises, about 17 minutes.
