Hi Dave
I have thoroughly enjoyed the chromatic studies which comes as a little surprise but I'm absolutely having fun with these studies.
My question in chorus 5 of so blue for you in the 9th bar leading into the 10th you have notated
2 2 2+ 6+
2+
But when playing along with the 15% slow track I thing I hear
2 1 2 2+ 6+
3+
I could be missing something in the transcription since I am visually impaired but I have looked over and over at the transcription and just don't see it . Both seem to work I kind of like the second one I have no problems with tongue switching
Am I hearing things
Thanks

Hello Deacon Dave. A quick note about your post... you're in the "Upcoming Events" area of the forum, of which I don't always see... so make sure to post in my "Ask Instructor David Barrett" section of the forum... I check this daily. With that said, I DID see your post and here we go!

Glad you like the song and the chromatic studies... no doubt the chromatic harmonica is tons of fun.

The notation and the recording do match... I just checked... but playing a 2 1 2 triplet in place of the swing eighth 2 2 will sound great too... you choose.
