| Post subject: | Using harmonica skill as a DHV? |
I've been playing harmonica for about 7 months now and I've gotten pretty good at it, or rather good enough to SEEM like I'm a lot better than I actually am. I've taken to carrying around one of my harmonicas with me wherever s that I can practice in the car or when I'm bored, but I really haven't found a way to integrate playing it into meeting women. The topic would come up, and I would pull out my harmonica to show a set, but I can't really figure out exactly how to coax them to want me to play it. It's not like a guitar where you can have it just lying around and a girl will ask you to play something and be really excited about it, but on the other hand a guitar isn't something you can carry around with you wherever you go, so I think in that the "harp" has an advantage over the more popular guitar. To clarify that harmonicas don't need to have that "backwoods" style, here's a guy playing in a style that I'm leaning towards (It will be another year or two before I'm as good as this, though) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SPAM_Jw I think my problem is the venue. You can't play it in a loud club, and she may be unwilling to ask me to play in a cafe or generally social area. And if we're back at my place it really doesn't set the mood like a guitar can, since the sound is really harsh and bluesy. Anyone have any tips or know some good venues where I can play? |

Other than open mic nights I think throwing a BBQ and being some of the entertainment would work. Do you have freinds that play instruments? if you don't get some since they make good wingmen. I know you're trying to not lean towards a backwoods style but making bluegrass versions of popular rock or hip hop songs like what Iron Horse and The Gourds do would certainly be entertaining. |

I have no clue how to integrate that into meeting girls, but I would love to hear you play it. Post some video for us. Don't be shy. If I could play I would probably just have a hell of a time playing tunes for myself. Cool stuff! |

I have a vid on Youtube of me playing, but it's about 4 months old and REALLY not an accurate scope of my ability now...I may make another one soon like I've been meaning to, like a "before and after" kind of thing. Not tonight though, I'm too tired

Oh, and good idea with the open mic night. Thing is I can BS how good I am to a group of people, but I'm not too confident that I can fool a whole audience that I'm better than I am. Maybe in a few more months I can pull that off. I also like the BBQ idea, and I do have a really good friend who plays guitar. Maybe as my wing we can be a musical duo or something. |
