RE: [Harp-L] harps with horns

Robert-

Ask the best and nicest guy if you can get a lesson-- take over some good blues/R&B jam tracks -- act like you are on stage and make stuff up, have him follow you then switch.

Have him critique your ear, choice of notes, articulations and blend.

Have him show you some harmony ideas, ask him about his musical thought process when playing in a section, especially an on the spot section.

Contact me offlist if you'd like to do it over Skype - or come out to SF on the Left Coast!

An educated harmonica player may have to teach them.
Hi Michael
I appreciate your analysis here.
Now...I know ANY advice needs to be preceded by a good relationship to be well received. On stage isn't enough. So I guess I need to visit w horn players ahead of time?



and HOW would I approach the  idea... realizing that it could fall out for any of the reasons you listed. (I AM optimistic/idealistic. <grin>)
