Hi,
Solo Harmonica Study 2, Example 1.5. Watching the video you explain the different techniques, however my written example hasn't notations except for the 6 blow flutter. Am I missing something? Once again thank you so much for your time.

Hello Bob. The notation's focus is to show which pitches are being played, their timing and special techniques used. Usage of tremolo and slaps are assumed now that you know them (I include markings for slaps and tremolo in the first three study songs in Bending and Tongue Blocking, just to make sure students are using these two important techniques in these important study songs). Dynamics and articulation are spoken of in the video, but not in the notation (these are more subjective and better to not write in stone how they should be played). The flutter is a specific technique and thus I notate it. Let me know if you have any other questions.
