Ex-Crack & Heroin addict saved by Grace, LORD Jesus is my saviour. I love my family, playing guitar, learning harmonica. I helped plant a church on a council estate in Penhill Swindon, England.
I spent 5 years in CA 12 step recovery program & I long to see others get totally healed. Been clean for 15 years about 10 of those years without a program of recovery since I cut myself away from the dependency I had upon other addicts.
I met an evangelist who showed me the bible & the words of Jesus, in that I became aware that I had not truly received the Holy Spirit, before that I did not truly know what sin was & I certainly did not repent. Which simply means having a deep awareness of the wrongs I did especially the things that offend God. I then went on a mission to remove stuff from my life which I knew would tempt me or hinder my new relationship with Jesus.
Since then my life has changed dramatically, I have a beautiful wife & 2 kid. Watch this space!

Qual vc acha melhor irmão a rocket ou a marine band 1986?
@@Wandergatinho no such thing as better or best. Both very different. Mb classics has wood comb & no screws, only nails holding it together. Nice harp but not practical for beginners. Rocket plastic combs & has screws , easy to clean & open. Marine bands are not for beginners I believe
Nice 👍
Look, come on there is a fundamental difference between those 2 harmonicas.. This is ridiculous. What on earth are you talking about
@@bravowild yeah well of course I know the fundamental differences. But these harps are similar in price so there often talked about as if they are on the same level. Everyone sees things from different perspective so what you think is fundamental might not be fundamental to another. What do you call fundamental? You prefer steel? Or brass?
@@bravowild what harmonica do you play?
@@CandidHarper Marine band series and 1x low harp session steel seydel. There is a distinctive sound difference between hohner and seydel even before anything else. The smaller chambers of hohner over seydel 1847 make the developing player move ahead faster in the same way a snooker player at home plays on tight pockets.However everyone throws air through differently. .9mm read is mandatory
@@bravowild so you claim my video is ridiculous based upon your experience with marine bands. Not sure where your getting your info from. I hear from a lot of professional players and none of them have mentioned anything like that so I'm guessing what your saying here isn't very important at all. Size of harmonica won't make you learn faster or slower lol
@@CandidHarperYeah ridiculous correct the same way a child from zero to 3 learns language and by 4 years old tells the world how they should speak from their experience. Size!! what are you on about This is the problem with the net particularly the 10 hole diatonic everyone is an expert and know nothing. Professional players!!! Pro player doesn't mean they are any good. Another idiotic misconception.
LOL
@@bravowild back again bravo lol. You not pick my videos in the past so I suggested you don't watch them. So here you are months later still watching. Yet still you have no videos that you have made! Easy to comment on videos but bit harder to actually make them. What do you do with your life? Do you play an instrument?
@@CandidHarper I can't help and see this rubbish when it appears in my catch.Look ive been a pro musician all my life.Done sessions all over Europe and the states.Harp is not even my main instruments but sessions in studio many times. by the time I was 25 i could play in all 12 keys on a 10 hole harp, now in my 60s I have nothing to prove to anyone but spouting rubbish needs lol at because it is nonsense. The net is full of it not just you.
Can you pls explain how to play octave on diatonic harmonica pls thanks vick

Do you still use the bend it better app? The bending trainer one is the only one I’ve used so far.
@@allenhawker3911 only been using the bending app lately. The bend it better one was in the past. I do think it's really good for responsiveness but bending app is the same.
@@CandidHarper 10-4. Yeah that’s what I figured. I like this one I’ve been using. Using the harmonica one instead of the up and down circle ⭕️ is definitely much better!!
La frase está guapa ,pero más vale que quites el metronomo
@@serharp sorry what does that mean in English? I cannot translate
I can hardly imagine what it must have been like to pay $3/4 US for a harp in the 70s!
Love your playing! Keep posting 😃 but get rid of the shaky camera effect we want to see your emotion and what not while playing the camera is no help to that! Awesome stuff!
@@TjardaNijdam-me5nx wow thank you, very encouraging 👍❤️👍
Special 20 is best profesional harp for me!! Better then marine band and saydel
@@sasaivanovic783 glad you come to that decision
@@sasaivanovic783 glad you found that conclusion, main thing is we find what works for us. Eh👍
I’ve only been playing for about 4 months and I just got an 1847 original in the powerbender tuning. I absolutely love this harmonica. The tone, the responsiveness the bends are super easy (every hole draw bends on the powerbender and I can get every semitone ). and it feels great on my lips. I like the rounded holes too and the harp itself feels bigger to me. Anyway I understand it’s all subjective but I love the harp.
Very bold song well done brother

@@joemazmo7981 thanks bro
As a beginner I was damaging all my draw reeds cause I have a hard pull. Switching to a seydel I finally got to learn. I kept blowing out my hohners and eventually made the switch to something with steel reeds
I have three Session Steel . They may work for some people but i believe that seydel which is arguably great harmonica maker did a poor piss job designing Session Steel from the point of view of ergonomics. They are about 2.5mm thicker than Hohner Rocket and covers meet the comb at a steep angle. The mouthpiece doues not extend ito your mouth - it is very flat. All that means that whenn you try to make air tight embouchure - which is effortless on Hohner harps it FAILS for many people wirg Session Steel. Look it up and you will see tons of posts from people complaining that their new Session Steel is lwaky . Except it is not the harp but their embouchure. Brought by poor design by Seydel. Some peopke may eventually overcome it and some may not - i believe Seydel neeyds to acknowledge that and redesign that harp.
I'm guessing your not a tongue blocker? When I got my first session I puckered then & I felt the same so it went in the drawer for a while but when I got half decent at tongue blocking it all changed. I'm definitely understanding what your saying if you pucker then yes it's a flat front. But I do know pucker players who play them well. But I'm hearing you for sure, they are not my favourite anymore. 1847 classics are much better
@@CandidHarper I do tongue blocking but a different variant - U-blocking - you get strong and very clean single note but it is hard to bend that way. So I use it for Irish music on solo tuned Session Steel and on some chromatics. But for bending I have to do a different embouchure - not exactly pucker because that too restricts your mouth muscles from bending. More like forming a channel through middle of lower lip (for lack of better description). I works on every harp - snadwich or recessed comb - including tremolos. But it barely works on SS. I hear what you saying maybe it is different for tongue blockers - that technique is completely foreign for me. PS. I am thinking about BlueMoon combs for existing SS and switching to 1847 Noble in the future.
Really nice job !
Thank you
Really good, Jason!! Thanks!
Thank you
I like it. Awesome. That must be the split notes. Right?
Not sure what you mean split notes?
Hallelujah 🙌🙌🎉
Amen brother 🙏✝️❤️💪💪💪😀
I love your way of showing Jay!!
Thanks mate
Dang man that’s good!
Here in the U.S. Special 20 will cost you $60.00 dollars. They are pricey. Rocket series cost even more. Only Rocket I'd be willing to purchase at such cost would be The Rocket Low F. Fender makes the Blues DeVille at $35.00 or $40.00 dollars which is every bit as good as any Honer product. Even the low price Fender Blues Deluxe at $12.00 dollars is a good and reliable harmonica for the price. I don't know if Fender is available in The U.K. however.
Fair play Jase, it's a tricky one, especially as I usually lip purse the six, I've noticed if I'm more relaxed the tongue block comes easier, i guess it's good to be able to do both, depending on the tune and genre of music. Keep it up mate!
Thank you!
They are the same notes, but you can bend 2 draw at least in two steps, while you can't bend 3 blow...
You definitely got the frustration scene right! (7:23 -->) "Oh, I'm out of breath. I'm full of breath... What do you mean 'RELAX!'" I didn't appreciate Tomlin's suggestion to do the chugging exercise for breathing. But your comments make me think I need to incorporate it into my practices. Thanks so much for your patient and detailed guidance. I think I made some improvements just today.
I have a harmonica on me 24/7. It's helped me to just relax, harp becomes part of you. Practice belly breathing when in bed, walking, in bath, watching TV etc. inhale belly pumps up. Exhale let belly go down . This will excellerate all things harp
If you were doing a fox chase, for example, tongue blocking, then the three blow would be easier to articulate the two draw.
Some of the squeaking comes from bending a bit past the note. I’m holes with a half step bend, it’s easy to bend it too far which puts torsional strain on the reed when it’s moving, which causes that high pitched harmonic squeel. Easy to remedy, play your reference note first on hole 4, and then bend the 6 down to it but not past it. Keep it up, you’re improving with each video 👍🏼
That's dedication!
Haha harp rack is fun! 😄
@@CandidHarper I've been playing for almost a year and a half now, and I'm honestly a bit frustrated with my progress compared to some people on youtube who have played for a shorter period of time, but are much better. I think the solution must be to get a rack and play harmonica while doing chores 🤣
First time I've heard somebody waffle about not waffling!
First time for everything eh😝😜😂😂

Sounding good, man.
Sounding great! I appreciate you putting a link in, I just ordered it myself. It's got a cool sound, thanks 🙏🎶
Also Joe has instructional videos here on CZcams eg ghost chording
@@CandidHarper Thanks I watched it before when I saw your video, I'll have to check it out again 🙏😊
Check your double bend. It sounds like you’re actually bending it past the note. Super common when working on it.
Thank you. Much appreciated
Thanks I'll check it. But just just checking the paper work. Joe Filisko advises to go flatter on the -4' and flat as poss on the -2". It's to bring out the bigger tones. 👍🔥🎵........ But I'm certainly not saying I've got them right at this time. I don't like the way my -4' sounds
I also believe tongue blocking develops a tactility in your tongue that helps you navigate the harmonica better. As a former lip purser, this is something I only discovered after taking up tongue blocking.
what is a metronome?
It's sometimes called a clicker. Provides a steady timing. So you can set it to what ever measurements you want. 60 beats per min. Or 120bpm
Are you serious?
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Nice!!!!!
Thank you
Nice 👍😎
This sounds great mate! Well done 🎉❤
Thanks dude been working hard on this one👍
Wow. Awesome!
My 2 hole draw is fine. It’s my 3 hole draw that gives me fits, specifically when bending. No matter what I try the notes sound choked off when bending. I can bend the 4 hole fine but not the 3 hole. I’m a newbie at harp so maybe it’s technique I dunno. I do k or it’s getting frustrating.
