I THINK there may be a mistake in your tab. I'm listening to Minor Mambo, Chorus 6, that very last run of notes that starts on the V.

In bar 11, you have it notated as:

1 2+ 2 3" 2 3 4

When I listen to Minor Mambo by Gary Smith and when I listen to your playing, I hear:

1 2+ 2 3" 2 3 4+

I am probably wrong on this, but there is a very small chance that I may be right. Are you and Gary both playing the 4 blow?

Hello Marc. You are correct,

Hello Marc. You are correct, it is a 4+. If you look in the notation, it's correct. It's a good idea to look at the notation if you think something's off. Usually if there's an error in my transcription, it's the TAB (I notate in music notation first, then add the TAB). Thanks for letting me know about the error.

Oh, checking the musical notation is a good idea.
