Hello. Why are you adding 2 additional notes in 16th bar?

[@roddyfuller5705]

Hello! The first time I play part 'A' ending in measure 8, I put a 1/4 note. The second time I play part 'A' ending in measure 16, I put two 1/8 notes to give it more drive leading into part 'B'. It takes up the same number of beats. I hope this makes sense. Tab is always suggestive and you may want to change it to suit your taste. Let me know if you have any more questions.
Thanks for your inquiry.
