Re: [Harp-L] Re: amps for beginners?





NO+1

Wait until people quit walking out of the room when you play. Then wait until other musicians want to play with you in the living room. Then record yourself and if you don't think you suck, jam with an electric band (if that's your aim), the PA will get you heard and people will listen if you don't suck. If this works out well, get an amp.

Chops come first.

I approach amplified harmonica as nearly another instrument.

The beginner needs to concentrate on the mechanics and tone generation of the harmonica first.

Quick question: is there any reason for a beginner to get an amp?
