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

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