Mandolman - Sorry about the Bass running onto the bouzouki. I was passing the glass over the top when a punter knocked my elbow, and spillage was inevitable. If you wipe it off quick it shouldn't leave a mark.
Please do not apologize for your English--my written French is no better. To answer your question:
"If i understand in a tune in Emin the "Home" is the chords of Emin and the "away" another chords good in the tune.Yes ?"
Yes. Most Irish tunes stay in one tonality (say G Major), or perhaps shift to a related tonality in different sections (say, G Major to E minor, or back again).
The crucial point of the article is that a good way to develop an "ear" for hearing improvised melody or bass runs is to play along to tunes, thinking "does my ear want a 'home' sound here or an 'away' sound there?".
[BTW to others who may wish to weigh in, the above is a massive simplification of the article's content. If someone disagrees or wants a more nuanced explanation, see the article text itself]
"And after you've got other chords, but how find them, and when play them ?( in the time or out of time ?)"

Re: Bass runs
It's not as simple as that. You need to understand how those bass runs fit within the music of a given tune.
