3*, can be played using -2 if you prefer.
The -7 is actually -6->-7 if you listen very closely/ slow it down .
The -6 is very quick.
Probably not an accident when it was a studio take.
It might help to play the first 7 notes in the 3rd line
by articulating da diddle a da da da. . .-7 6 -5 or similar.
