What the course does

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 -- A -- 3 exercises, about 29 minutes.
  2. Bars 7-33 -- 5 exercises, about 26 minutes.
  3. The whole song -- 5 exercises, about 29 minutes.
