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 -- F, D -- 2 exercises, about 24 minutes.
  2. Through Part B and Part C -- 3 exercises, about 29 minutes.
  3. Bars 7-34 -- 6 exercises, about 29 minutes.
  4. Through the Chorus and Part G -- 4 exercises, about 28 minutes.
  5. Bars 50-150 -- 5 exercises, about 30 minutes.
  6. Bars 57-122 -- 3 exercises, about 27 minutes.
  7. Bars 67-122 -- 6 exercises, about 28 minutes.
  8. Through Part G and the Outro -- 6 exercises, about 27 minutes. Open above.
