Hi David,

for the Temperature study song, where you denote +3, have you done this deliberately for the benefit of practicing or simply because the 2 draw can be problematic for beginners? In short my question isdoes it matter if I choose to play 2 draw instead of 3 blow or should I stick with 3 blow as instructed? I'm a beginner tongue blocker. 

Thx,

Ravi

Hello Ravi. You can

Hello Ravi. You can substitute the 2 for the 3+ as you see fit in this song, though I recommend keeping it for the 3rd Chorus... the 3+ slap has a bigger sound.
