@Serpentboy:

Basin sa October pero taman ra ko sa Manila. Cebu most probably early Dec na. November is a slim possiblity. Kung daghan datung di nalang manarbaho. kapoy kaayo para lang makapadala sa ginikanan. ulirang anak gud ta. hehehe.

@ Luthienne:
Nakuha nimo nag tabs nga ako gi padala? Kasabot ka?
Tinu-od gyud nga kuyaw ning harp. na-a pay in and out. Here is also a sexual slang in chinese that involves the harp.
Back to technique.........ka bend na ka day? Tua pa gyud, di ba 'bend' sa bisaya kay tuwad hahaha.
Shumbody Shtop mee!!

got it. i understand it.

Chorus
Hey you've got to hide your love away
7 4 (4) 5 6 (5) 4 (2)(2)

but it's weird everytime i suck in the second hole. it doesn't sound so good everytime i came to that part.

[aquafire]

The sound sucks if you suck in 2 hole draw. Try putting your lips over 2hole draw and then inhale slowly till you produce a sound. The 2 hole draw is one of the most difficult for beginners. It has lead many initiates to think they got a faulty harp.
I repeat.Inhale or draw. Don't suck. hehehe.
If you draw too hard you will flaten the note a bit. Like bending. Inhale while saying 'eee' with your throat. If you continue then change it to 'youuuuuu', you might bend the note.

If you are not making mistakes at this point I will freak out cause up to now I still make mistakes.
The diatonic harp is an instrument that you can play in 5 minutes but may need 5 years (of constant practice) to master.

[splendid moonlight]

that's what i meant when i said suck. i really meant inhale. but maybe i really did suck it without my knowing it. will try what u told me.

this is one instrument! small but terrible.

@Luthienne
Emphasize diaphragmatic breathing. Morag ga practice ka ug kanta.
If the exercise(harp practice) gets boring, stop and take a break. Don't force yourself to restart if you still feel not up to it. Keep the harp playing an enjoyable experience.
Remember you are probably a better player now than the next person you see. and every day you will just get better and better............till later.
