What the course does

It cuts the song into 25 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, E, G -- 6 exercises, about 37 minutes.
  2. Through Part B and the Chorus -- 4 exercises, about 29 minutes.
  3. Bars 11-39 -- 7 exercises, about 30 minutes. Open above.
  4. Through Part G and Part H -- 6 exercises, about 30 minutes.
  5. Bars 51-85 -- 6 exercises, about 24 minutes.
