Example 1.2 (the D minor scale) does not appear to be tabbed correctly. It doesn't go along with what you are saying on the video. The flat 6th is tabbed as a 4 draw (but it's 3 draw with button in on the video). On the video, you also use the 4 blow for the C, but the tab uses the 5+ (is one recommended over the other?).
A little confusing for those of us with the tinnier ears.

Thanks

Thank you, I'll change that right now. If I play hole 3 followed by hole 5 I use 4+ instead of 5+... this way I'm moving one hole at a time. This makes sense to me. Some players choose one of the C's (4+ or 5+) and always use that to keep things consistent... you choose what works for you.
