What the course does

It cuts the song into 43 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 -- E, F, G -- 3 exercises, about 29 minutes.
  2. Bars 1-18 -- 4 exercises, about 19 minutes.
  3. Bars 4-10 -- 4 exercises, about 28 minutes.
  4. Bars 12-34 -- 8 exercises, about 28 minutes.
  5. Through Part E and Part N -- 5 exercises, about 27 minutes.
  6. Through Part E and Part N -- 4 exercises, about 26 minutes. Open above.
