Video lesson: understanding natural harmonics

[bassandbeyond]

Hi all,
I just posted another bass lesson on Youtube, explaining how to identify harmonics on the fingerboard. Hope it's useful.

Awesome lesson. My teacher recently started showing me this stuff, but this is another great way to show it. Hopefully you'll post more up going a little further in detail about this because I would love to learn more about making chords with harmonics.

Thank you very much. I do tend to speak quickly in these videos, trying to condense a lesson into Youtube's short time limits. But the essential info you need to figure out all of the harmonics is there.

As a next step to reinforce your command of harmonics, I would suggest trying to work out chords, scales, or little melodies using only harmonics (hint: you might have to try different keys to work some things out, since some notes don't exist as useable natural harmonics on 4 string bass). Good luck!
