Alan Gogoll - Bells Harmonic (technique explained)

[@gavdavidson1219]

Will be making a tutorial video on the first minute of the song this weekend, had a lot of practice on it! :)

[@proodoodaboochoo]

you da real mvp

[@mr.m1154]

Thanks for the tutorial. I hope you're doing well

[@warklung6262]

Share the tuning which is the most important..

[@bevengoulden3052]

Just started listening to Alan Gogoll, and found the sounds he creates awesome. Great tutorial Gavin, explains the bell harmonics really well. Gives me something to practice.

[@jessethemusician]

I don't think I've ever been this excited about a guitar technique, thank you so much for explaining this so clearly! 🎉

[@Nancy-wj7mi]

This is for the first time I actually understand what Alan was doing!! Thank you!!

[@gavdavidson1219]

Nancy no worries! Started making tutorials :)

[@ham-nb7wq]

So underrated, this guy deserves more subscribers

[@s.c.7370]

This is a so hard technic. He does not perfectly do it, but very well for sure. I play some Travis style pieces, but this (bell harmonics) is another level !

[@lamechjacob1277]

So true

[@LlyonaFang]

thanks so much for this! i never realized he was playing harmonics with one hand at a time and its in both hands whoa

[@DerekDeMuth]

Nice Explanation, I discovered Gogoll a few minutes ago, saw bell harmonics and was like "I'm going to find a tutorial on how to do that !"

[@anatolio8689]

Thanks, just saw him on Instagram as “creator of bell harmonic technique” so had to look it up!

[@peterfitzgibbon1374]

[@TheKoopa4000]

Great job providing an explanation to the "Bell Harmonic" technique. I was having a struggle with it before and your video helped to understand what alan was doing.

[@gavdavidson1219]

TheKoopa4000 happy I could help! Making a tutorial this weekend of the song transcription

[@mcmusic309]

Awesome video! Glad i cane across this. I've been following Alan for quite some time now and always wondered how he did the bell harmonic technique! Cheers!

[@lilschlagen]

This is so insane. I was trying so hard to figure out how he was playing this and I had no idea he was plucking with his left hand.

[@zackstetler]

Just discovered this video series. Thank you so much.

[@skyboundzoo]

Opened my eyes - thank you!!!

[@timprice8185]

Thanks for this. I feel like I've got a whole new area of guitar unlocked :)

[@changleon7441]

Dannng dude thanks so much! I’m debating whether to go straight for this song or learn harmonics got crazy first... but this melody is soooo beautiful

[@Liwet.]

Explanation starts at 2:10.

[@ericjohnsen5749]

Thanks for this. I bet you play it very well now.

[@filiporvik2782]

Thanks so much dude! Been working at it for 10 minutes and i already see progress! Thanks for the clear and straight forward presentation.

[@joeyamada462]

Excellent brotha! Thank you!

[@brindsbackpack]

Thanks for the explaintion, now for the fun part.. to try to get the technique down!

[@gavdavidson1219]

blackhoody76 no worries! Made tutorials for the first minute or so of the song

[@brindsbackpack]

Gavin Davidson thanks man, I will be checking that out once I can get the technique down.

[@staffansvahn]

Thank you so much! Best wishes

[@Erika-ve6fg]

thank you so much for this video! it really helped a lot!

[@raynguyen8638]

YOU ARE GENIUS

[@PCmonke]

Very nice! Well done, cheers mate!

[@timsatorsandwich7945]

well right on brotha .....im impressed man .....

[@PHMHarpGuitars]

I have spent so much time trying the figure this out and for some reason never guessed this

[@Fedbo]

Cool video, thanks for showing it!

[@timsatorsandwich7945]

ive been messing around with artificial harmonics ....... really cool stuff here man

[@llamamusicchannel7688]

I've always been fascinated with his music, but it's so damn complex

[@SouvikRoyChowdhury]

what are you doing with your left hand....kindly explain that??

[@Heevamos]

Thanks Gav!

[@chrisraschella9874]

Hey Mate can you explain the tuning once more please

[@rivasquispeluisadhemar8700]

I don't undestand your speaking very well because I'm not native, but I'll práctice a lot for sure. Thanks very much really man you will make my dream true. You should be happy :) 😊😭

Adhemar Rivas haha sorry mate I’m Scottish

[@azovnyekhaclassicalacousti4639]

You are just like me I use to mess up on KZbin as I have to adjust my camera.😂😂

[@MuffinPirate]

really tough stuff great job :)

[@Fedbo]

Also this sounds like a very nice tuning, I'm experimenting with quite a bit of open tunings but I didn't know that one, do you have other tunings to recommend to try? That maybe are lesser known

[@gavdavidson1219]

Hey pal try the following: CGCGCE CGCGGC My two favourite

[@Fedbo]

@@gavdavidson1219 nice!! I know the second one through some ben Howard songs I used to play such as old pine and further away, but I don't think I've ever tried the 1st one you suggested... I'll give it a go now! Any know song that you know has been played in that tuning?

[@dedaelus]

The same tuning as in this vid but with 6th string down to D is nice too. I stumbled upon it messing around but I think Antoine Dufour used it on a song called Catching the light if I remember correctly

[@AndyPickin-eo6nu]

Very good

[@smoz2338]

thanks so much, you're a legend mate

[@ljklj719]

Awesome, thank you!

Gracias!!

[@bandonchour2914]

a big late for my age to learn guitar but buying one and wanna learn this xD

[@gavdavidson1219]

Bandon Chour hey Brandon, never too late! I started playing at 20 (22 now)

[@bandonchour2914]

Gavin Davidson you are a legend :D

[@realdevbro447]

Gavin Davidson dude, same. How time do you spend on it on a average?

[@gavdavidson1219]

Deva just whenever I get time! Sometimes none a day, sometime over an hour, just when I can :) you just need to pick pieces to learn that challenge you

[@nelsonnh4612]

Never to late for me i started because i saw a fingerstyle piece of 《HOTEL CALIFORNIA》 played by shunga jung and gabriella quevedo arranged by tomi paldinius at age 22 now i m 25 and i was playing it 1 year ago it took me like 1 month of hard work but it paid !!! Just work on it and your brain will get used to it

[@jackson8777]

Thank you!!!!

[@chikatrechikatre7955]

Hi and first of all, thanks for your tuto. It's very difficult to play this piece, (i'm actually working on it). One thing for the right hand : i think it's more efficient to play harmonics putting the third finger on the chord and scratching it with the pinky or ring finger (Alan gogoll plays like that). Why? because of the percussive technics from the 39th seconds which are far more easy to play like that.

[@copyrightstrike7637]

Very nice. Whats the tuning for the guitar

[@TheMadhatter4ever]

Thank you bro

[@michaelnguyen9609]

I discovered the sound of this technique from Alan Gogoll’s livestreams on tiktok

Is the tuning EAC#EBE?

You summarized that a little better than in my video, kudos for that. Probably could have made mine shorter lol

[@gtee93]

Thanks so much man

[@JerremyAnnAnn]

Nice sir

[@derrincalk9579]

Good to know

[@asianchild5821]

wait do you even need to do bell harmonics? couldnt i just do all the harmonics on the fretboard side?

[@johnpatrickarceoomana8466]

A big thanksssssss

[@Young.Supernovas]

I just love the melody of the picking pattern in that tuning. It's so warm and romantic. That's what gets the bitches wet lmao Also, stop putting yourself down, man. You're a decent guitarist. I mean hey, I can't do this technique, and I've been playing for five years. One thing I've learned is that half the battle when you're performing/recording is purely psychological. It's a bit of an adjustment when you're so used to practicing - like, when you practice, if you fuck up, you do that part over again. When you start recording you learn to stop doing that. So if you screw up, you just act like it didn't happen. So my advice if you want to grow your channel is start recording covers, and don't worry so much about "how much you suck." You don't suck, but you're always going to suck when compared to yourself a year later, yknow? When you screw up, just power through it and the audience is none the wiser.

Thanks, very nice looking guitar, not very expensive either.

I haven't heard of that brand, but better then some Martin's is worth checking out.

[@oskars.albujas.4136]

It works only with metal strings or something like that?

[@ririal-fajri8688]

yes, i belive if you are the teacher alip_ba_ta..

[@anthonyjones4292]

this is great, but i think he uses his middle and ring finger for the right hand harmonics from the videos I've seen for those wanting 100% match to original, gives it a bit more flow

[@gavdavidson1219]

Anthony Jones its a preference thing, I used my middle and ring finger now but either is fine with enough practice

[@louisjodelko3696]

So this Alan gogoll guy claims to have invited this technique, not being funny but didn't Jaco pastorius do this in the 70s on bass?

[@jakeeeGST]

no, not nearly as complicated as what alan is doing. most of jacos harmonic stuff is made up of natural harmonics which frees up a lot more of his fretting hand

This guy should've receive a nobel prize for cracking the code. I don't want to sound like an ass but l will have the balls to say this about the guy who self-proclaimed that he invented this technique as if this cures cancer and solve the global poverty. That guy, whose last name sounds like your famous search engine, is a bit of a jerk for being so secretive about this technique.

[@mandeepbarman1894]

Great tutorial but dude you gotta speak more clearly or write the tuning and stuff on the description. Thanks
