Hi David

The 5th note on the C Major Scale is G 2/3 + . So it's 2/3 played at the same time? Not sure because I don't see that on any other scale's and it's not an Ocatve right? so that would be a dirty note asJoe Filisko puts it?

Thanks

Play 2 draw OR 3 blow, your choice (they're the same note... so you have the option of either one).

" O O O " I see. : ) was not sure , I would have practiced playing both at the same time. Not really knowing. good thing I asked. So when it is tab out like that ex: * / * + or * +/ * just means to play either note because it the same note.

Thanks David

That's correct... 5+/8+ would be, for example, 5+ or 8+... sorry for any confusion.
