What the course does

It cuts the song into 36 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.

56 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in how much of it falls off the beat. The beat itself is 45 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
