Re: [Harp-L] Any other beginners out there?

[martin oldsberg <martinoldsberg@xxxxxxxxx>]

If it´s possible to take pleasure in what´s "natural", take some pleasure in that this day and age is a good one to learn the harp.
  You are (for diatonic)
a) not restricted to Tony Glover´s book; you can easily buy e.g. "Harmonica for dummies" (for Per in Sweden also searchable in www.bibliotek.se) and other such stuff,
you can,
b) easily find three or four free courses on Youtube (and at least one is very good),
you can,
c) within seconds download most of Little Walter or who you prefer and you don´t have to sit content with "Boss blues harmonica" for years, like I did,
and you can, of course,
d) ask questions on Harp-l and frequently get comprehensive answers to things that could take years to find out for yourself. 
 
  Now, if only the actual harmonicas were priced (comparatively) the way they were back then (early 70s for me) all would be fine and dandy.
  But on the whole a quite enviable situation.
 
  Cheers,
  Martin,

Count me in.
Newbie with 8 month of harping with slow progress but loads of fun.
Here in Stockholm, Sweden we have some bluesjams and open mics almost every
night of the week that you can go to listen and learn.
Not ready for the stage yet but I am working on it.

Cheers
Per
