Hi all
As a learner on the harp I have found it useful to film myself, and create a video diary of my progress. Also, by putting the clips on Youtube I've been able to invite other harpists to watch and give me hints and tips. It's been pretty positive so far. Here are a couple of my clips: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=ju4I78AhusQ http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=E79zfQScaHM Also, just for fun, here's a superb classical guitar clip: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=YQcuQsD587M There's more stuff on there, alldated - you can see how over the last few months I've improved. Anyway, I was wondering if any of you have done the same, and have any clips you'd like to share? Please post them here if you have! |

Ignore the 'Dancing to Buttons' and 'Profile Pic' It's just random stuff that you probably won't like... |

I have several clips of me playing.
I just wanted to see if i was holding the instrument right and how I sounded. I find them too shameful to share. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blush.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blush.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blush.gif) |

This thread is making me want to do some as well! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif) |

Here are a couple of videos my brother and I made in a hurry this morning. Please excuse the terrible intonation and slightly off harmonics towards the end of the Meditation clip, it's a while since I've played it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ph34r.gif)! With the Scottish one, there's no picture, but I think you can hear it!

Quincy, we can't 'make you', but all I wanted to say: we have all been there (playing with lots of screeches and scratches etc) don't think that everybody else was perfect the moment they picked up the instrument! and if you are too 'shameful' because of your hair etc not looking good on video then equally, don't think that we get out of bed looking all pristine in the morning (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) Now the 'ball is in your court' Ok then. If I can figure out how to use youtube and upload clips. If/ when I do, please be kind. I've only be learning since Feb/March. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |

I don't speak ONE WORD of Welsh, can't even say hello, so here'S my "guaranteed wrong" super-loose guesslation of the lyrics to Pianola's Os Na Wei... song.
If You Don’t Leave Now Tell, tell, tell me what you’re thinking Tell me, tell me, what’s stopping you? I tell you, I tell you, he won’t care if you go Tell me I can come in, say the word and you’re free Come, come, take a step [on your own feet] Come, come, ?find? peace for a while Come, come, let me take your hand Come, come, come with me and leave him Listen, listen, there’s something called freedom Listen, listen, ??there's a place always silent?? Listen, let me tell you, find a better life Listen, let me tell you, you could get far enough away I know what the story will be, if you don’t leave now Still in your nightmare, you stagger and turn |
