How To Play Harmonics ANYWHERE On The Bass!

In this video, we'll be uncovering the key to perfect "pinched harmonics" on bass. This technique has been used by some of the world's greatest bassists, such as Billy Sheehan, Jaco Pastorius, and more. Birdland by Weather Report is a great example of pinched harmonics in action!
If you're looking to start to explore the limits of your bass playing, then this is the lesson for you! We'll be exploring the basics of this technique, and how to consistently apply pinch harmonics into your playing without the need for hours of memorising and prep. By the end of this lesson, you'll have a better understanding of what pinch harmonics are and how to use them.

Awesome as usual Mark, thanks for sharing how to do this, been trying to figure it out for so long since the 90's when Billy's video lesson first came out. Your explanation and demo made clear how to do it. Can't wait to pick up the bass later tonight when I get home ♥

[@Addemm212]

Very accurately explained. Thank you

[@johnfollis2357]

Cool stuff. I use my Index Finger as the Node Activator and the pinky finger to pick the string.

[@KwetsieyBaloyi]

Thank you so much sir you are the best great teacher also😊🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿

[@thomasfioriglio]

Well, this is all new to me. 🤪 Very cool lesson Mark. I'm going to have to explore those other videos you linked in the the description.

[@glynnp42]

Very cool sound. I always wondered how Jaco was getting that sound. Thanks Mark!

[@mrt862]

You're so good at teaching 👏

[@RockNRolisss]

this is cool, very well explained.

[@mmartak]

Thank you! Great lesson

[@ryn5671]

I do my artificials a la Steve Bailey. Index as node, play with ring finger

[@TheBaro81]

Great lesson. Does flats or roundwounds Make any difference?

[@johnfollis2357]

I would imagine Roundwounds would work better because they are generally brighter than flatwounds.

[@ianwalking]

Lovely! Thanks for sharing! \m/

[@BramBrijanBass]

Immediate reaction at the end: "Great, thanks! Gonna try that out". Figured I might just type it here as well :)

[@ditmarvanbelle1061]

THANKEEEEEE!

[@davidbalan6571]

Cool Mark you are liked Chad Smith's .

[@charlescowan6121]

So does this require Fourier series?

[@richardgiovanninainggolan3053]

anyone know who's on youtube doing song cover this (harmonic) way ?

[@richardgiovanninainggolan3053]

@abnercordovamartinez2908 going to see him !

[@shateq]

Effect on my pbass is miserable, maybe the amp aspect...

[@nairamdiam]

It’s harder to play harmonics on p bass. Try to play as close to the bridge as possible, and try to play it with your nails. It really helps

[@Emily_M81]

low pinch harmonics on a bass are whalesong :D

[@thisara_sandeepa]

❤❤❤

[@stevenordstedt2535]

I’ve never liked Bailey Sheehan or Jacob playing either!

[@Yancey16]

Jaco not jacob

[@progfox]

somethings wrong with you then

[@charlesdamian4485]

Who cares steve-_-
