This channel is for posterity I guess. Just to talk about music and whatever else comes to mind.
I hate my life, I hope I die soon and quickly! If anything should ever happen to me, just know I’ll finally be able to rest.

This was always one of my favorite Peggy Lee songs. I found out the other night that it’s actually kind of a blues song. So I adapted it. This one is fun to sing. If you guys like it, please make sure to listen to Peggy’s version

Okay, bit of a clickbait title. This is the story of the first and only harmonica studio session I ever did. It went bad, I was not ready 😂😂 the theme of this video is to always take it one step at a time

Using an A harmonica. I definitely could have done this all better but I was too excited to share. It’s one of those little stumble-upons :)

Just a little video. Every day I record but most of the times nothing feels good enough to upload. This is a perfect example. But you guys can learn with me! It’s on an A harmonica in first position. You will need to be able to bend well! Most of the work is on holes 1-4 and then again on holes 7-10. I also display blow bending in this video on the high end of the harp. Something I’ve never don...

Trust me there is no happiness to be found in alcohol, smoking or any artifice of that kind. You feel a brief relief and mood gets lower the day after. Music as such is also an artifice but without side effects. My dope is love, benevolent friends, nature and meditation.
@@cyberprimate have you been naturally happy by yourself? I never have
You're the first person i've heard saying this. Usually everyone feels it's a better harp.
@@JohnVieto I know man, it just makes no sense. It really should he a better harp. The thing is, it plays so much different than a marine band. I already liked the marine band as it was, I just wanted to be able to open it. The deluxe just feels completely different in responsiveness. Maybe I just got a bad one
@@JohnVieto agree
Nice video! I’m kind of into the steel reeds these days (Seydel 1847’s). I love the Special 20 though too! One of my favorites! Myself personally the marine bands have never interested me. I know they are great harps though. It’s definitely a personal preference as we all know. One thing the same is we all love instrument and music! That’s the main thing! And I say shave your head! lol. I did it a few years ago and love it. Don’t think I could go back now. I just use an electric razor on it every few days and I’m good!
Munch on some ginger root. Take magnesium. And cayenne pepper drink teas and stop thinking about the negative. There is good life out there.. maybe go to a old folks home and talk to old people and get a different perspective
Sending love and prayers brother Buy a water distiller and go on a watermelon fast Read the Bible a bit and yeah shave your head start over.. you can rise like a Phoenix Do small edibles for a while maybe 🤔. All the best
Hair looks alright it will grow don’t worry about it 😅
Life is hard. There is ups and downs. Just got to keep pushing through. Sounds like you are feeling purposeless. Through all my trials faith in Jesus giving purpose for this life and the next has brought me peace. As we try to be better every day but still being loved through our stumbles. Hope perspective can turn around and these hard times can improve future you.
Was thinking of the Marine Band Deluxe this week. Im primarily a Special Twenty guy , but do love a good marine band. Also , I have similar feelings in life, what works for me to even feel a little better , is look for one small detail each day that made me happy . Whether its learning a new lick on harp or my resonator , watching a show etc, then I know that I will be okay just for today. Your videos are great, keep on harpin'!
Keep playing my friend, you have a gift and there is no way that is a bad thing or a depressing thing so hang onto it. Your decision to lay off drinking and smoking is a good one, if for nothing else than it will make your throat feel better.
24:23 make yourself bald mate !!
24:11 😂😂
9:31 doesn’t make sense too much/ the specs are exactly the same. Except for the screws and the lacquer
My problem with the Marine Band is after the wood gets wet it seems to swell and tear up my lips. I guess I'm a woos cuz like the Special 20's for no other reason than that.
@@RockessentialTim when was the last time you bought a marine band? Since 2011 they’ve been triple sealed and generally speaking, shouldn’t swell. There is definitely a chance you picked up one of the old ones that had just been sitting for years but I personally have yet to have a marine band swell up on me.
@@formansbasement2311 I have to be honest, I stopped using Marine Bands in the early 2000's and have never tried them again. I'll check one out, I usually only end up using the A cuz I like to play guitar in E so.... Thanks man! And PS: I meant it when I said hang in there. Have a good week!
@@RockessentialTim they don’t swell anymore . They have all 2 layers of varnish .
The varnish and the comb on MBD and the crossovers are way better. That’s why you do the same on the 1896😊
6:33 yes same wood and one more layer of varnish. That’s what I do on my 1896.
Also found that embossing really does make a real difference. So tight !
Embossing is a pain in the butt though and takes ages to do. Plus it changes the sound makes it more shrill and sterile and tinny sounding.
@@JohnVieto it takes me 15 minutes max. I slightly do it . Maybe it shouldn’t be call Embossing then :)
6:08 I bend my covers . So so much better ! What a sound ! Almost Crossovers!
I use shellac to “close” the holes of the nails, then nail back my 1896. But I also tweak a lot my 1896. So I open/close them often. Thought of screwing them. But …why?? My way of closing them works top notch
How do you do that? Buy shellac flakes and fill the hole then just tap the nails back in? Can you do that as often as you like over and over without screwing the harp up? This is the only reason i've stayed away from Marine Bands. If i found a solution like this then i'd switch to the regular MB.
@@JohnVieto naturally you buy dewaxed flakes and do your own shellac. Then I use a needle and dip it and put a drip in each hole. It dries extremely fast. Then nail everything back. For me it’s enough : been doing it for a while now. You open The harmonica it gives you the chance to chamfer the comb and to varnish it even more . That takes some experience though because it’s shellac : it dries fast and can’t fool around . BUT the beauty of shellac: you are not happy , just put another layer that will dissolve the one you don’t like . Shellac took me sometime to understand. But now love it .
@@JohnVieto I answered you but can’t find the answer anymore. Did you read my answer somewhere concerning the shellac !??
@@ikust007 What about toxicity is that ok as far as that is concerned you know with you breathing in and out the harp?
@@JohnVieto from what I know : zero toxicity . Do t forget : shellac been used for 100 years . On tables and all. Like Linseed oil.
Gussow: almost only since ever 1896
I like the Deluxe. Just prefer Crossovers if it’s not 1896.
As usual I forgot about half of my talking points. I wanted to add that I also think the tone on the deluxe is noticeably worse! Compared to the marine band it is muddy and not very loud!
💔
Important and interesting topic!
very nice
how long have u been playing
When this was recorded I had been playing about 2-3 years
cool vid dude! i carry my B harp everywhere, it is a comfort to just have , its extension of myself
Circular breathing like frank Sinatra yeah
Most excellent!
Have you tried the Easttop lucky 13? I think that extra holes have a very mellow sound
@@josemarcosmonteiro1752 I have owned 2 of them, but had to return them. The lower reeds have windsavers on them that make a noise I don’t really like. I think it could be a great harmonica if the design was improved a little bit.
Hey 👋 Greetings from across the pond (Scotland 🏴) Iv'e subbed, why ? Well as a (Don't practice enough) harmonica player, anything "harp" I'm gonna have a look. Good video, keep the faith 👍🏴👍😁
Wow. Tabs 🙏
Very cool man.
Hello there! I am from Romania and just started to play harmonica 4 months ago, I bought 5 harmonicas so far :)) but marine band 1896 its the best one. There's only one guy who can play blues harp in Romania, his name is Marcian Petrescu if you wanna check, he is a friend of Sugar Blue. And I'll be the second romanian blues harp player :)) If you want to know more about Romania, check out my channel VHS90Romania
I am new the the harp. Got a cheap one as a bit of a joke but it is great get to play it everyday driving around. Always got it in my pocket. Play the sax also but it’s so loud. And you got to set time aside to play but don’t have to do that with the harp. Setting the time aside to do it is hard with having a family. Keep it up like your vids.
Harp in nature is the best!
Bye bye bird , got me interested in low tuned harmonicas classic tune !
I used to use paper😂 but I recently bought the East Top repair kit it's been a revelation, I've tuned 8 harps thus far and saved two from the harmonica grave yard. I definitely want to learn how to customize harps. I love canned heat too, always in the shadow of the Brit blues bands but I think Canned heat are a vastly underrated band. And yes Alan was one of the first white boy harp players and to me he was one of the best
