What the course does

It cuts the song into 28 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, G -- 4 exercises, about 28 minutes.
  2. Bars 1-73 -- 4 exercises, about 23 minutes.
  3. Bars 15-51 -- 5 exercises, about 30 minutes. Open above.
  4. Through Part G and the Chorus 2 -- 4 exercises, about 27 minutes.
  5. Through the Chorus 2 and Part M -- 6 exercises, about 33 minutes.
  6. Bars 61-95 -- 7 exercises, about 28 minutes.
  7. The whole song -- 4 exercises, about 24 minutes.
