Extremly bad presentation ! "riff a (last bit twice)" you made no indication of when 'last bit' was. disapointing

dude, on the part where you wrote ("the bit u do twice before part c") you accidentally wrote on the staff edag, instead of eadg. thought id just let you know.

this helped me alot man thanks.
