What the course does

It cuts the song into 18 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 -- 3 exercises, about 26 minutes.
  2. Bars 41-45 -- 3 exercises, about 30 minutes.
  3. Bars 45-81 -- 6 exercises, about 30 minutes.
  4. Bars 83-170 -- 6 exercises, about 27 minutes.
  5. The whole song -- 3 exercises, about 17 minutes.
