What the course does

It cuts the song into 19 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 -- E, B, C -- 4 exercises, about 32 minutes.
  2. Bars 5-26 -- 7 exercises, about 29 minutes.
  3. Through the Chorus and Part F -- 4 exercises, about 23 minutes.
  4. Bars 50-86 -- 5 exercises, about 29 minutes. Open above.
  5. The whole song -- 1 exercise, about 10 minutes.
