1. Check the gapping
2. Back off on the force you use in playing

Interestingly, I'm trying to learn a song with one very small passage that I 
have debated on the Draw 2 or Blow 3. It probably doesn't matter much in this 
context but I haven't been able to figure out from repeated listens which it is. 

The song is "She Didn't Cut Me Loose" by Curtis Salgado (couldn't find a youtube 
version but for spotify users the link is http://open.spotify.com/track/7zpjxOuRJP6OQCjZdsZ42i 
for web or Curtis Salgado â She Didn't Cut Me Loose for the app). At ~2:27, he 
does a small lick of 3 Draw - 3 Blow/2 Draw - 2 Blow. 
The issue I have is transition from either the 3B or 2D to the final 2 Blow 
note. I've tried gapping the reeds but whether I'm going from 3D to 3B or 2D to 
2B, there always seems to be a hesitation before the blow note complies.
I'm open to any suggestions or advice.
