What the course does

It cuts the song into 20 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 -- C, B, F -- 3 exercises, about 30 minutes.
  2. Bars 3-27 -- 2 exercises, about 20 minutes.
  3. Through the Chorus and Part F -- 4 exercises, about 30 minutes.
  4. Through Part F and the Chorus 2 -- 5 exercises, about 19 minutes. Open above.
  5. Through the Chorus 2 and Part M -- 5 exercises, about 29 minutes.
  6. The whole song -- 5 exercises, about 29 minutes.
