Man, there is nothing more I want to do than play the harp...No other instrument interests me as much. ;w;
I\'ve been studying them for a very long time now though, don\'t know when I can get the money to afford a concert harp...
OH! Is that harp Style 85 Semi Grand from Lyon and Healy? I plan on picking up a L&H Ogden Celtic Harp over the summer, it\'s the most I can afford...
Okay I\'m done blathering. :[

What pedals do you use when you lay the harp and could you educate me on the pedals and what they do my self I don't play a harp I play a guitar
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
There are seven pedals on the bottom of a pedal harp, each corresponding to a note in the scale. It has three positions, the up being flat, the middle natural, and the bottom sharp.

What pedals do you normaly use?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Honestly, they're all used pretty evenly, depending on the key of the piece and the accidentals in it.

Ok. Could you please educate me about the Harp it self along with the pedals because it is one of my favorite instrument I play guitar and depending on what key I am in the chord progression will be this some times C A D A D or if I want to play say in the key of G the chords will look like this D G D A Em E G A D G

Well, I know nothing about guitar, so I'm not really sure what you mean. In harp, you set the pedals the determine the key, and you don't have to move them unless an accidental outside the key shows up. There are three colored strings- the 'c' strings are red, the 'f' are blue or black, and all the others are white or clear.

A guitar is almost like a harp being a stringed instrument that you hold in your hands or with the use of a guitar strap one hand is for strumming the guitar with either your fingers or a pick and one hand is used for chording either your right hand or left hand the basic chords are A B C D E F G most of the chords I play are D A D A G F C E G and these are all basic open major chords what I will do is I will make you a recording with each of the chords that I play so you can hear how they sound

Could you help me with this please?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
one way is you can tell me how it should be played both with the strumming and picking of the strings
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
With harp or guitar? You don't really strum on harp, except in certain effects.

Guitar I want to have the same beutiful sound of the harp with my guitar what picking style and strumming should I try?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I don't know anything about guitar. I know on harp you can mimic the sound of the guitar, but I'm not sure how or even if it's possible to do it the other way around. Sorry.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
one way I can kinda mimic it is by picking each string one at a time and with my hand and not the pick I strum the strings
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
If you want to I can email you a small pice of a instrumental I am working on?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
What is it? I might know it. Probably not, though.

I don't even know how to read music
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
You don't? It's pretty easy when you get used to it.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I don't know how to read sheet music can you teach me please?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Sure. I think there's something online that could probably teach it better than I could. I'll try to find it... do you know if guitars play in treble or bass clef? I can't remember.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Treble Clefs for the 6 string guitars now bass guitar playes in the bass clef
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ok. In treble clef, the lowest line on the staff is E. The line above that is G, then B, D, and F. Some people use little things like, 'Every Good Boy Deserves Fudge,' to remeber that.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ok it would be easier if you got on aim and taught me this
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well what you could do is listen to my recording I will make you and I will email it to you and you can tell me what parts of it that I need to speed up and what parts I need to slow down and what I need to work on in terms of timing and rhythm
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I'm not an expert in composition by any means, so I'm not sure how I could help there.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
