NEED HELP with artificial harmonic chords

[All_¥our_Bass]

I want to play this, but can't think of a good way to do it.


Q=quarter
H=half
. = dotted note
[fret]&[node] = Artificial harmonics

75 BPM

_____C 5_________Eb 5_________Ab 5

_____Q_____Q_____Q_____Q______Q_____H.
G|--5&17--5&17--8&20--8&20-|-1&13--1&13-----|
D|*-5&17--5&17--8&20--8&20-|-1&13--1&13----*|
A|*------------------------|---------------*|
E|-------------------------|----------------|


It's the intro from Pin Floyd's 'High Hopes', I am in the process in arranging/learning a pianist two handed tapping version. I wanted to use the artificial harmonics to imitate the first piano part.

Anyone wanna help me out here?

I would like to help you out, but I have no idea how to read that. It looks like you're trying to tap harmonics 12 frets away from a fretted note. That produces a pitch one octave higher than the fretted pitch.

What pitches/chords are you trying to play?

Okay. I think I'm starting to decode what you wrote.

You want a C "power chord", an Eb "power chord", and an Ab "power chord".

The problem I see is your voicing. You have the root on the top and the 5th on the bottom. I think it would sound better if you had the root on the bottom. You're producing an interval of a 4th instead of a 5th.

No I like this voicing, and think it sounds fine.

What I want to do is play the harmonic octave of those chords.
like the open strings, octave hamr. is at fret 12
1st frets octave is is 13, etc.
Doing this with one string is easy, BUT doing it simultaniously on two strings is giving me a lot of trouble.

try using your thumb to barre the node of the artificial harmonic, and then pluck the strings with your Index and middle on wich ever side of your thumb is more comfortable.
