What the course does

It cuts the song into 24 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, D -- 3 exercises, about 27 minutes.
  2. Bars 20-26 -- 3 exercises, about 21 minutes.
  3. Through the Chorus 2 and Part D -- 3 exercises, about 23 minutes.
  4. Bars 39-70 -- 4 exercises, about 28 minutes.
  5. Bars 70-90 -- 6 exercises, about 24 minutes.
  6. Through the Outro -- 5 exercises, about 28 minutes.
  7. The whole song -- 3 exercises, about 19 minutes. Open above.
