hello David I have a big problem with level 4 on improvisation already to start you say that you need a harmonica in Bb and I see that your tabaltures marks a song in A and therefore you need a harmonica in D then I see that there is a playback and therefore have little to play with your tabs on it so do not improvise ?? and then also as I do not understand your language you give all the explanations in video but me the poor little French idiot that I am I do not understand anything hihi so I need your help or is I to pass this lesson ?? David I am really sorry because I am a fan of the harmonica and I like to work well !! I hope not to bother you too much with all of this !!

Hello doudou. All tablature

Hello doudou.

All tablature is based on using a C Harmonica in 2nd Position G. Which harmonica we chose (and corresponding jam track) is up to us, since the harmonica does the transposition for us.

In regards to language, I'm sorry, I don't have anything other to offer besides English. It's probably best to not subscribe and find a French speaking harmonica instructor.

thank you

David Ok thank you it's good I understood I am taking the lessons for a year it is on I have well thought it over it is true that it is complicated for me !! but here in France I took 8 years of lessons with a teacher but it is not your level of play and with you on the recommendation of Adam Gussow I know that I am in the right place !! and it's a shame America is too far away for me because I would have come to see you to take lessons for sure !!
