Subject: [Harp-L] what makes a good player


So I was just sitting here wrapping up a custom golden melody for a customer and 
listening to music on harmonicaspace, and I got to wondering what makes a good 
player. Which I guess is a subjective question, since we all have different 
tastes, likes and dislikes. But what is it that makes us consider someone a good 
player? Is it because they can do all the licks and tricks, or do we also 
consider the player who plays melodies to well known songs, who plays with 
passion, clean notes, good intonation, etc. to be a good player. I've heard some 
folks here on the list who play melodies to well known songs, or play campfire 
songs, who I consider to be very good. They don't play with a lot of flash, but 
the quality of their playing is really good. So I'm kind of curious as to what 
others consider being a good player means.
