What the course does

It cuts the song into 36 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 -- D, F -- 6 exercises, about 31 minutes.
  2. The grooves the song is built on -- M -- 7 exercises, about 30 minutes.
  3. Bars 5-35 -- 5 exercises, about 32 minutes.
  4. Through Part F and the Chorus 2 -- 5 exercises, about 21 minutes.

48 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 35 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
