LOA 5 Solo Harmonica Study 3  Ex 2.2  4th measure I hear on the video (not including pulls}  6+  -5    5+  -4 whereas the musical notation is 6+  5+  4   3.  Either way sounds good so I'm sure it doesn't matter but wondered if I was hearing correctly.  You've put some challenging stuff in all of these examples and I'm really working hard on accurate 3 draw 1/2 and whole step bends.  Thanks for this course, David.
