What the course does

It cuts the song into 24 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 -- 4 exercises, about 21 minutes.
  2. Through the Chorus and Part F -- 4 exercises, about 32 minutes.
  3. Bars 14-30 -- 5 exercises, about 24 minutes.
  4. Through the Chorus 2 and Part I -- 5 exercises, about 29 minutes.
  5. Through Part I and the Chorus 3 -- 5 exercises, about 26 minutes.
  6. The whole song -- 6 exercises, about 32 minutes.
  7. Bars 97-114 -- 4 exercises, about 12 minutes. Open above.
