I love how he starts these videos making mistakes, but as it goes you can hear his fingers getting warmed up and more comfortable. By the end he's running through what he talked about with ease. Yes, please bring the 5ths tuned bass guitar. I've been wanting to explore that approach
Aha! Good tip about the mids vs the highs. Even on a high 220 A the octave "fundamental" harmonic is 440Hz, and the next overtone would be 880; both of those fall well within most mid low and bottom of the mid high controls, respectively, not up further. Now there are other, brighter overtones generated, but not really worth the other issues that can happen with highs set way up. Having said that, what to do about volume? On my bass, at least, these harmonics all seem to be quite a bit lower in volume. Besides raising the mids, what else can I do to help make them more pronounced? Raise volume and then be gentle on the actual fretted notes? Can't seem to make it even out. Maybe it's my flats.
Why doesn't my base sound like that im watching your hands im doing the same stuff at the bottom with the thumb it sounds NOTHING like that and it's upsetting at best
Steely thx bro. I'm actually from Brazil, and the link doesn't open because of some kind of country restriction or some shit, but anyway, thx for telling me
ok step one we're gonna roll a joint...
I like this guy! He's funny, entertaining, and informative.
Thanks, Sam! Highly appreciated! //Russell
@@ThomannsGuitarsBasses where is he now?
I mean no offense by this, but it's really nice getting music tips from someone who isn't quote-unquote Pro

i love this bass man. i have it for 1 year now and im so satisfied with my choice
Your song is great I love it. It is astounding that nobody here mentioned that you are a good composer.
Tap harmonics are fun as well sane dynamic just taping adding a little more percussive sound yet still fun and sounds lovely.
Korg?
this dude is cool
That sure is a sweet bass
I see you have followed the same tangent of youtube videos as I did while working this out, haha. Great video!
This guy is so baked.
Cool. Love harmonics. I really need to get in the shed to get those artificial harmonics working.
Use your left hand to fret and put your thumb on the fret you want to make a harmonic with and play with your fingers
That was cool and informative.
eye-opening, thanks dude!
Where is the “Bb” harmonic note on bass? Thanx!
Ha, on the Eb string, of course! But you can fret an Eb higher up somewhere and get it on the 5th. I think. Great, now I gotta g try it.
@@nathanwahl9224 thanx!
which bass is that?
As told in the description (through the link):
Marcus Miller M7 Swamp Ash 5st FL TBK

Psyco GamersBR ah, no problem dude :)
it says at start of video too
Nice video!
You asked for corrections , so it's not 2/3rds, it's 3/2. Otherwise it would be lower than the original root:).
Great video
Very helpful
what bass did he used? wow
He says it at the beginning
Bring that fifths bass please!
Hey, neck, I'd like you to meet razor. You guys should get together......

Sire
Lol he is stoned
That E string is so floppy.
N E C K B E A R D

Is that the name of the song he pays thats all fake harmonics?
why?
it didn't sound very good
Leiria65 no it's at 7:42
all the more reason for playing more of it
That was brave: good for you!!!...
