The fills

There are no fills to speak of: the part holds one beat the whole way through.

What the course does

It cuts the song into 12 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, C -- 2 exercises, about 23 minutes. Open above.
  2. Through Part B and the Chorus -- 5 exercises, about 28 minutes.
  3. Bars 41-106 -- 5 exercises, about 23 minutes.
  4. The whole song -- 1 exercise, about 10 minutes.
