Figured this out long time ago but I started with only doing naturally harmonics but then I learned pinched harmonics on bass but I activate the harmonics with my index finger but strike the string with my middle finger
Ever get told you kinda look like John Deacon? Just a thought. Bass players eh. Thanks for the vid, can't wait to get a pedal for my bass and do some bass squealies
@@WillGordonBass haha, sorry man! 🙈 of course, I'm not nearly as original as I may have thought.. Glad you don't mind, just tried your pinch harmonic technique, works like a charm. I don't have an od/dist/fuzz yet but I can hear it there. A little gain and that'll snap. Take care mate!
Place your thumb very lightly on the string at the same time you pluck. You can also do it with any finger combination or a pick. The trick is that the string needs to be lightly and briefly muted when it's plucked. Hope that helps.
That's not exactly how I do it, but you just taught me an easier way. God bless the fingers man.
I'm glad it was able to help you out man! 🤟
I've been a bassist for nearly 2 years and I had absolutely no idea this was possible. You're very good at it :)
This video was so helpful 😄
I'm not a bassist but I use 8-string guitars, it helped me a lot to complement it with techniques like thumping
Holy crap, Didn't even know that was possible! Thanks for the tutorial

Have a read of the comments on literally all my videos, there has never NOT been a mention of John Deacon 😂
