My intro to harmonics was a song called, ‘There’s Love’ by the band Linx, released back in 1981. David Grant on vocals and some bloke called Sketch on bass.
Great informative walk-thru to a little gem from Tom. Interestingly, there's a strong similarity to the lead synth line of "A Journey To Reedham". I wonder if this was the result of a solo exploration of AJTR.
Hadn’t thought of that similarity before, but now that you mention it I can hear it. I think composers with a strong sense of their own voice will have hallmarks and typical vocab, so that totally makes sense. You can absolutely draw a pathway between a lot of his more melodic, mellow work.
Thanks for reminding me of this amazing tune. I saw him play it live at Glastonbury, or maybe glade fest... Unbelievable performances. Couple of things though. I think he plays the fret 5 harmonic on the A string on the Minor chord, which makes it a Bm7. Also in bar 4 he plays F# and C# harmonics on fret 9 when playing the descending D and A on fret 7. Not sure what chord this is at the end, not C#/A as it doesn't have an A in the Bass. Maybe some kind of upper structure E chord... Probably doesn't matter as the piece is so harmonically ambiguous at this point. It think it does end in D major but I could be wrong. That's what I hear anyway. It's subtle but I'm pretty sure those notes are there. Great channel anyway, I'm subscribing now.
What?!? You don't like Steinbolt from the same album better?!? As a bass player?!? Odd... =D Ultravisitor is still in my top 3 favourite albums of all time...

Squarepusher is amazing.

Very nice harmonics song. Thank you for the discovery ;-)

Thanks for the great lesson. How do you get that old school vhs filter on your playing footage? Thanks
Thanks! It’s a free plugin for Final Cut X called Retro Video, made by Game Sack.
Are you using a 5-string because it was at hand? Or is this playable on a 4-string?
Hi Peter, this is definitely playable on a 4-string, no problem. I just preferred the tone of this bass over the ones at the time!
👍👍

Haha, yeah I really should have considered that track.
I remember hearing Tetra-Sync for the first time and completely losing my mind.
@@HuwFoster It's a banger indeed!
