What the course does

It cuts the song into 23 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, B -- 5 exercises, about 35 minutes.
  2. Bars 12-32 -- 7 exercises, about 33 minutes.
  3. Bars 39-44 -- 2 exercises, about 20 minutes. Open above.
  4. Through the Verse and the Chorus 3 -- 4 exercises, about 30 minutes.
  5. Through the Chorus 3 and Part L -- 4 exercises, about 26 minutes.
  6. The whole song -- 3 exercises, about 19 minutes.
