[Harp-L] Why are "harp players" seemingly always "decent guitar players", when they do decide to pick a little 6 string? But the majority of "guitar players" are usually "skill-less harp players", when they decide to blow a little 10 holed harp?

Why are "harp players" seemingly always "decent guitar players", when they do decide to pick a little 6 string?

But the majority "guitar players" are usually "skill-less harp players", when they decide to blow a little 10 holed harp?

Examples: William Clarke, Charlie Musslewhite, Rick Estrin, Little Walter, Billy Boy Arnold etc....When they play some guitar they don't embarrass themselves.

Where many guitar players seem blissfully ignorant to just how lousy their harp playing actually is!

I know that there are a handful of guitar players - who are also outstanding harp players, but they are surely
the minority...
