Dive into the fascinating world of harmonics with this solo bass piece designed specifically for intermediate bassists! This composition will help you discover the full potential of harmonics, showing you how they can be used to play melodic ideas, and combined with fretted notes to create rich, full-sounding chords.
This piece utilizes the chordal fingerstyle technique, where you play the strings using your thumb and fingers, much like an acoustic guitarist. While this technique is not commonly used on bass, it’s an excellent way to explore new harmonic and chordal possibilities on the instrument.
🎸 Gear Used:
• Bass: Mayones Viking Bass
• Strings: Rotosound stainless steel (.040, .060, .080, .100)
• Recording: Tech21 SansAmp Bass Driver DI
• Effects: Digital Reverb
