LOA 4 Solo Harmonica

Solo Harmonica in LOA 4 says work on Ex. 2.1 and Ex. 2.2. These are bass lines with lots of pulls. We covered these in LOA 3. Is the intention that they're so important the student should go back and continue to work on these throughout LOA 4? My pulls are getting much better when isolated but in a musical sense are weak so I've got no problems with continuing to work on them, just want to ensure I'm doing what's recommended. Thanks!
You have the idea. What you tested for in LOA-L3 only used a little bit of pulls. In LOA-L4 I want you to use them a lot more (and why you're doing "Gary's Blues"). Pulls are on of the three main tongue block techniques... slaps, pulls and octaves.
