I've been trying to throw in a walking bass into my harp playing ala
Lightnin Hopkins (she says walk so we walk) and it's extremely simple
on the piano and nearly impossible on the harp. The tonic and
subdominant are easy but the dominant-you have to hit a half step bend
then a whole step bend, hit them right and hit them on the beat. Damn.
Maybe harp switching would be easier.
