What the course does

It cuts the song into 30 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 -- A -- 3 exercises, about 21 minutes.
  2. The grooves the song is built on -- D -- 2 exercises, about 19 minutes.
  3. The grooves the song is built on -- H -- 4 exercises, about 31 minutes.
  4. Through the Chorus -- 2 exercises, about 22 minutes.
  5. Through Part D and Part H -- 6 exercises, about 37 minutes.
  6. Bars 33-55 -- 7 exercises, about 30 minutes.
  7. Through Part H and the Chorus 2 -- 5 exercises, about 21 minutes.
  8. Through the Chorus 2 and Part P -- 3 exercises, about 26 minutes. Open above.
  9. and 2 more sittings after that.
