What the course does

It cuts the song into 32 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 32 minutes.
  2. The grooves the song is built on -- E, J -- 3 exercises, about 32 minutes.
  3. Bars 9-40 -- 7 exercises, about 29 minutes.
  4. Through the Chorus 2 and Part H -- 4 exercises, about 28 minutes.
  5. Bars 51-76 -- 8 exercises, about 35 minutes.
  6. Bars 87-99 -- 5 exercises, about 32 minutes.
