RE: [Harp-L] Harp preparation for studio recording?

["Eric Garcia" <ericgar85@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

there is a mental protocol as well...
studio recording is a different animal, a different muscle really, from
playing live.
.get comfortable, be patient with yourself, and don't try
to play anything that you cant play again smoothly,,.
if you start getting into a funk,, don't beat yourself up
by doing it over a thousand times,, take five.
it sounds easy, but you might be surprized.
