[Harp-L] the melodious gg speaks on OBs

["groovy gypsy" <groovygypsy@xxxxxxxxx>]

The Senior David of Payne writes:
"On the overblows, just learn it when you feel like it, then work them
in to what you are playing"

We in gg's head and spirit feel this is bad advice. As the gypsies
from the Andromeda Galaxy once elucidated to us, it's it best to start
OBs and all other techniques universally.
Strive to play what is inside your illuminant being rather than what
you hear on records unless of course you want to sound like a record.
OBs are no more or less difficult to play than
anything else so why avoid them.  More advice from the tethered one on
the vulcan planet Maruvia indicates that one should start out treating
the harmonica as if it is a "real" instrument
now. Learn to Clefs and Staves, rests, double stops and the like now
rather than having to evolve through the system of suck blow on this
arrow.


This has been a message from the most lyrical and melodious one.

Thank you,

gg
