Hey guys, I'm looking for cool songs to play that use harmonics. Things like Disposition by Tool and Portrait of Tracy are awesome (still working on Partrait of Tracy though). I really like the way harmonics can sound, so does any one have any recommendations for me? |

Dream Theater - As I Am (the intro is all bass)
Dream Theater - Lifting Shadows off a Dream
I can't really think of anymore right now, but hit me up on AIM and i'll send you those songs if you want me to.

Geddy Lee's bassline on Rush's 'Different Strings' is one of the most effective uses of harmonics I know, Very simple but instantly memorable.
Yes' 'The Fish' is based around a cyclic harmonic riff.

| | | | I really like the harmonics in primus' 'eclectic electric'. Very simple, but they stand out and fit the song very well.

Check your record store bargain bins for a CD called UCross by Dean Peer. All tunes are harmonic oriented solos. His second CD Travelogue too, but with backing musicians.
