How to bring out harmonics?

Supernaut · Post by **Supernaut** » Wed Oct 25, 2006 12:16 pm

anyone got any ideas how I can bring my harmonics (natural) out better. I was bored this morning and decided to try and learn Victor Wooten's rendition of Amazing Grace, you know the one that's all in harmonics?

But my fret 3 harmonics I'm having difficulty getting them to sound properly. Any ideas? cheers

lower tunings can achieve harmonics better I believe

you have the ones on 12th, 7th, 5th and 4th fret.

then you have 3 different harmonics between the 2nd and 3rd fret.

all it requires is a light touch and a pickup with a fairly
decent amount of output

Oh yea, change the output! Forgot about that...oops

Ell, the muff makes it distorted. This is clean

Turn off the sustain on the Russian and just have output on full then?!
