Hello,

 

what would you recommend for a LOAL3 player to play at the first appearance in front of other harmonica players? Should I learn a famous instrumental or should I play a study song. 

Thank you,

Jernej

Hello Jernej. I recommend you

Hello Jernej. I recommend you play a study song... something you already feel confident with. It's best for your first couple of performances to keep your songs simple, since you'll most likely be nervous, and if you're playing with a bullet mic and amp, that will be a new experience as well. This way you have a jam track you can use as well (if you're not playing with a band). Best wishes on your first performance.
