Hi.  In My Blues, 4th course, measure 9, you've got two As with a dip.  My ears aren't good enough to figure out what's really going on.  Are you dipping up from below an A into an A, or up from an A? 

Thanks

Good morning Ungar. Dips go below their notated pitch, so you'll start around Ab and end up at A. That lick's a good challenge, best wishes on mastering that one.

Yeah, the song's full of challenges, much to the dismay of my downstairs neighbors.
