A somewhat odd question...

Post by Tom Margulies »

I play acoustic guitar lap style. I like to experiment.
I wonder if anyone has seen or heard a player using a Harp guitar lap style. I wonder if the base strings would get in the way.

Thanks,

The bass strings tend to vibrate sympathetically along with the "regular" 6. I don't think they'll get in the way, but you'll have to be conscious of muting them or else you'll get a bit of a harmonium effect.
