Re: [Harp-L] recording your own practices

["rick marsh" <hazcon@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have used a digital video camera to record myself and a duo i was in for a 
while.
If you are careful with where you set it up you can get surprisingly good 
results .               I suppose the bonus would be that you could also use 
the video footage to use as a training aid. Posture, hands etc.
             If you have access to one perhaps at least give it a try.
