What the course does

It cuts the song into 30 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 -- F, C -- 2 exercises, about 24 minutes.
  2. Through Part B and Part C -- 6 exercises, about 31 minutes.
  3. Bars 30-46 -- 7 exercises, about 30 minutes.
  4. Through the Chorus -- 4 exercises, about 26 minutes.

  6. Bars 108-139 -- 5 exercises, about 26 minutes.
