Hi David,

I have almost got this exercise learned to submission standard but I am running out of breath from bar 9 onwards. There are a lot of draw notes in the last 4 bars and I am finding that my lungs are uncomfortably full when I play the final bar. How would advise dealing with this?

I have tried doing a major exhale before playing the first bar but this doesn't seem to help.

Thanks,

Mark.
