I can slide doublestop natural harmonics, bend harmonics, slide (single note) harmonics that I play solely with my right hand, artificial harmonics, and tapped (which I can also slide). I'm sure there are more, but that's my harmonic-vocabulary for now.

| | | | Isn't 3 a main harmonic too?
And you can write some interesting things with harmonics (ala Amazing Grace and most other Victor Wooten stuff) also Billy Sheehan has cool harmonic riffs in his solos. |

| | | | Didnt realize there are many techniques. Learning Portrait of Tracy by Jaco, and you should too! Excellent harmonics song, and a good combination of full notes and harmonics. |
