Is there an inconsistency in Chorus 4 of Feelin' for the Blues

I am hearing a difference between the demonstration songs in Chorus 4 for Feelin' for the Blues (Lesson 3) compared to the sheet music and the "Chorus 4" video.

Specifically for the speed lick starting at 1:21 of the "Chorus 4" video (starting in the middle of the second line of chorus 4).  Unlike the triplets in the video, in the demonstration song it sounds like eighth notes:

6+ 6+ 5 5 5+ 5+ 4 4' 4 3+

Is this meant to be an alternative for the speed lick?

Hello harpomarks. How I play

Hello harpomarks. How I play it in the video, the MP3, and show it in notation are the same... what you're hearing in the MP3 is that I'm using more dynamics (the middle note I'm playing it softer).
