What the course does

It cuts the song into 25 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 -- 4 exercises, about 20 minutes.
  2. The grooves the song is built on -- D -- 5 exercises, about 29 minutes.
  3. Bars 17-41 -- 4 exercises, about 26 minutes. Open above.
  4. Bars 37-60 -- 7 exercises, about 29 minutes.
  5. Through the Chorus 3 and Part J -- 3 exercises, about 29 minutes.
  6. The whole song -- 6 exercises, about 30 minutes.
  7. Through the Outro 2 -- 2 exercises, about 6 minutes.

What do I need on the kit?
