I like using harmonics on an intro and sometimes tied together with harmonics in the outro. I think the best usage overall of harmonics, though, is that of sparing use-- similar to tapping or slapping. I think that less frequent use of devices makes them much, much more powerful and memorable when employed.

Nice video! In order to not confuse the newbies, maybe you could have explained how the string is divided into equal parts, and then show the parts. For example, the octave+fifth harmonic at the 7th fret is also at the 19th. Two octaves is at the 5th fret as well as the 24th(plus you can touch any/all of the nodes of them without killing the note). Bonus round, you can also play in such a way as to have both the open string and one of the harmonics ring out at the same time. 😎

I use harmonics to test the setting of my bass,if it's not set up right,the harmonics won't ring where it's supposed to. And I find it easier to get them to ring is use my finger nail,put the string right by the fret let the string rest under your nail,that like holds the string so the harmonics ring beautiful

@JEARP4 жыл бұрын
You might make the idea of dividing the string in for example three equal parts more clear by identifying the other harmonic node at the 19 fret and showing that the harmonic is the same. It could be useful to point out the waveform that does not then vibrate over these harmonic nodes ( you can see this!) And notice that because of this phenomenon if you stop the string at the 7th fret and play at the 19th you will be completely unsuccessful because the string cannot move at this point! (The math is cool too! 8ve vibrates 2x faster 7th fret is 3x faster, 5th fret 4x faster etc.) The higher a harmonic you play the more places there are to play it and also the more places the string will not move.)

Even 'tho I have a long attention span .. ehmm what was I saying ? Lol Yes most people learn better in small " Bite's " I am absolutely new to slapping .. thats next .. Stay safe Bye
