Hi David,in bending study #2, Feelin' for the Blues song, 5th Chorus end, there is the two note combination 12. Having studied the pulls (tongue blocking study #3) for me it is instinctive to play the 12 combination as a pull. Do you think it is OK or it is better to play the combination without the pull?Thank you in advance, Stefano
