What the course does

It cuts the song into 26 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 -- H, E -- 3 exercises, about 29 minutes.
  2. Bars 1-74 -- 4 exercises, about 31 minutes.
  3. Through Part A -- 3 exercises, about 28 minutes.
  4. Bars 1-50 -- 7 exercises, about 31 minutes. Open above.
  5. Bars 42-80 -- 9 exercises, about 33 minutes.
  6. The whole song -- 6 exercises, about 30 minutes.
