Hi,

I'm working through the Level 5 material and am stumbling on the wording of the music theory portion, specifically Ex. 6.1 where it says, "If I have an F Harmonica in my hand..." Can you clarify what you're after here? The fact that the scale degrees and the hole directions stay the same, but that the notes change?

If you go over this in one of your videos, please direct me there and I'll try to figure it out on my own, but I'm really stumped as to what you're looking for :p

Thanks!

Hello Anton. You're correct,

Hello Anton. You're correct, "scale degrees and the hole directions stay the same, but that the notes change." The whole idea is to state over and over that the scale degrees remain the same, so if you know one harmonica, you know them all.
