In the Accompaniment book the arrangement for Ex. 4.18 Boom, Boom, Boom has a 3 beat pickup before each chord change. In all cases, except for the pickup before the IV chord, the last pickup note is 2". While I can see that the 1 draw looks like a better choice before the IV chord root I don't hear anything amiss with the 2". Was wondering if it sounds better to you or perhaps you had some other reason for making that choice? Thanks!

Good morning SmokeJS. It sounded better to me, that's all.

Here's one on Amazon, though you can get it through any major music retailer.
