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 35 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 -- Q -- 1 exercise, about 21 minutes.
  2. The grooves the song is built on -- B, G -- 4 exercises, about 35 minutes.
  3. Through Part B and Part C -- 4 exercises, about 26 minutes.
  4. Bars 33-41 -- 4 exercises, about 26 minutes. Open above.
  5. Through Part G and the Break 2 -- 3 exercises, about 27 minutes.
