I'm having trouble with the 7th bar of teh Fourth Chorus of LOA 3 pice, Bending Song 2, Feelin for the Blues. It's written as

6+ 5+ 6+  5 4 5  5+ 4+ 5+

But sounds on the track more like

6+ 6+  5 5 5+ 5+ 4 4+ 4

Am I going nuts?

No, you just need to listen a bit closer. I'm using dynamics when playing the lick. Put a good pair of headphones on (not earbuds) or play it over your good home stereo system (with good bass fidelity) and note that I am playing the middle note of each triplet figure, but very softly.
