How do you all articulate something like:

FAAB

where there's 2 adjacent same notes in the middle of a 4 note pattern? I'm trying the following:

1. Grace note between the 2 A's
2. "Glottally" articulating the 2nd A
3. Tonguing the 2nd A.

Of these alternatives, which do you all use most? And am I missing other alternatives?

Thanks

Joe

Depending upon the song - if it's in the Irish mode I will either cut to the B or tap to the G. If it's some other genre I'll tongue the A.
