I was curious why the squash and stretch was assigned to two different smart bones?
It seems that it would make more sense to have them both in one bone. It avoids extra key frames and the "squaring" effect of the points if both bones are rotated or the keys overlap. Would you really want squash and stretch to overlap?

I was replicating this and found it tricky to switch between squash/stretch with two bones because of the key frame interpolation and overlapping causing those "squared" points.

Other than that, excellent tutorial and example. Look forward to more.

Ha ha ha!

Never mind! I understand now.

So with the squetch in ONE smart bone, you have to cycle through the the sequence to get to squash or stretch. It is easier to control with two separate smart bones. Makes sense now. You can key a "reset" of one bone and key the next one. The overlap isn't as bad as I thought since it all happens so quickly.

Yes, creating smart bones for each actions helps in detailed and ease of control. Anyways you have already found the answer yourself.

Thanks for your feedback. Glad you liked. And yes some more tuts are on the way.
