leave
I am going on a 3 month backpacking trip so I have a couple of questions . I am leaving March 19 so should I just cancel my lessons until I return ? Do you suggest I pack a harmonica ( which key ) and play whenever I have a minute? I have been studing loa 4 I want you with me and the buffet line (which I have been enjoying ) what and how do you suggest I play or keep practing ? Thank you so much its been the best . I have a month to figure out what I need or should do?
I'm doing the AT so yes I am wondering about everything getting wet . I can bring my A and the buffet line and I will practice scales and bends . Thanks
Sure. Have a great trip.
Wahoo, not to jump on David's thread, but as an AT veteran, I can tell you that you'll find no shortage of guitar and harp players on the trail. Tons of opportunities for jam sessions at the shelters.
Have fun! Wave at my house as you hike by in North Carolina!
Dave and Jjudson I planned on packing an A harp but a friend suggested a G what are your feelings?? Dave I know your busy but is it possible to throw me a couple riffs to practice ?? Will be saying hello to the Carolinas
Hello wahoo. The key doesn't matter, just pack a harp. You already have tons of riffs to practice on the site, they're in the study songs. Go to a study song and listen to the MP3 along with the music notation in front of you. When you hear a cool lick, circle it and work on it. You'll find quite a few cool licks in each song. Have a great trip!
Thanks Dave
just sent an email to stop my account just wanted to let you know I enjoyed every minute . Thank you Mike
Okay Mike, thank you for letting me know.
Hello wahoo. That sounds like a great trip. Any key works (maybe one of your older harps, so you don't have to worry about the elements so much with the beater harp).
Yeah, that's fine... just unsubscribe and resubscribe when you return from your trip... all of your account info will be saved.
You could bring your phone and use it to play along to your study songs, bringing sheet music with you when you need to reference it. Another option is to focus on scales, bending exercises, and any general exercises that can benefit from little pieces of practice as you have time.
Another option is to not worry about it and just have a harp ready when you feel like blowin' :-)
