HARMONICA

@Serpentboy:
The 'play a tune' option is only for the ladies. hehehe. You may have to buy a beer if I will be able to bring an extra. I'm glad you happy with the D harp. There is a school of blues in California that uses the D harp as teaching harp. I prefer to play the Bb harp, A ,C and D in that order. BTW the richter tuned diatonic harp was made for playing classical and traditional songs in major key and its complimentary minor. Some most probably black person had the genius to play it for what we now know the second position. Now it is much more associated with this genre.
Unless you buy the usual harp mics (prohibitively expensive) you have to try different mics using the amps you plan to use it with. If you plan to play acoustic like harpin in front of a mic, the best would be the usual shure 57 or shure 58 (Mahal kaayo ero daghan sa mga bars.) If you plan to play electric then you have to experiment unless you want to buy the bullet mics for 100 usd. I use a 60 peso mic i found in a shop in quiapo. Was crappy for voice but nice for harp. However it is a feedback monster. Keep on wailin' .........

@mique: i believe aquafire once sent me the tab for Alanis' Head Over Feet. will check my pm. [br]Date Posted: December 29, 2005, 09:31:28 PM_________________________________________________@ mique: here it is. i haven't gotten around to practicing it myself. i wanted to play the harp part. i didn't want to play harp on the stanzas as i wanted to jam with the song immediately. hehe. i suggest you download the acoustic version ofÂ* Alanis' Head Over Feet. the harp playing there, i imagine, was given a little bit more highlight than the original version. the acoustic version is entirely of a different flavor than the original one, somehow it is the same but it has a charm of its own.

For the ist verse melody it starts with
(hole number+e=exhale, i=inhale, b=1/2 bend,bb=whole bend, bbb=1 1/2 bend )
6e-4i-3i-4e-3ib-3e-3ib-3e (if you cant bend use 6i-6e-6i-6e instead of the threes)
next line
6e-4i-3i-4e--4e-4i-5e-5i-5e work on the rest. The chorus has a different sequence.

The 'adlib solo is just a series of--- 89e and 78i....
it starts like 89e--89e-78i-89e-78i

[lorz]

@luthienne and serpentboy- dayon mo watch sa gigs?

[aquafire]

@ Serpentboy:
Medyo hassle mag dala ug mics. Upat ka Gi akong dad-un pag anha nako. Bulky ug bug-at. Priority nako kay maka dala ug beginners harps. Para mudaghan ang harp enthusiasts. Na wad-an na pud ko pag-agi nako sa mga inspection sa airport.

@ Luthienne:
Na tabs na nimo ang "Wish you were here"? Use your C harp. Good luck. Dili lisod.

@Lorz
Palit lang sa ug parrot arun maka practice na ka.

@Play Alanis........Play Mary had alil lamb ....play anything but make an effort to find out what the 12 bar blues is.......It is a door to pure jamming joy. Dont let its simplicity fool you.

@ Lorz:
Basta i butang lang na sa baba unya tukar ug bisan unsa. It can only help your learning the Diatonic harp later. Just play what you feel like.
