you should have covered the fact that not all harmonics are played directly over the fret, for example a 3rd fret harmonic would be just after the third fret and a 4th fret harmonic would be right before the 4th fret making the 3rd and 4th fret harmonics fall into the same fretted space
i find that slapping and popping harmonics produce a great tune. still can't figure out how to do harmonic power chords (a fretted root, and harmonic 5th and octave notes) can ya help me with this joe?
Cool. For some reason the hardest harmonic to find for me is the one on the 3rd fret. I found 5th, 7th, and 12th easily. I found the one on the 3rd slightly to the right of the fret instead of actually on it ilke the others.
@xPanda617x Generally, it would seem the lower on the neck you go, the more precise you have to be where you hit the harmonic. Most guitars/basses will not actually have the harmonic ring directly above the fret, but usually just before or just after it. However, you can get away with it a bit easier on the 7th, 9th, and 12th fret harmonics.
I don't play bass (I play guitar), but I can only assume the same principals apply.
And roll off some of the neck pick up (if you have one). If you have a master tone, roll off the bass for a more bright and percussive tone. That should help. Pluck closer to the bridge as well. Hope that helps.
so now i understand the basics....but i am trying to learn a song where the harmonics are at the third fret....will the same stratogy work for this as well? thanks again

@VocalTest666 It's a primer. The easiest things to learn first. Didn't want to get into too much minutiae.

@VocalTest666 You are very correct, though! :)

@damaster720 That requires a bit of geometry. Outline the shape of your chord as you pluck a "theoretical" 12 frets up.

someone should make a video with the actual harmonic notes, cause a tuner doesn't really work to figure them out and i need to know what they r

Thank you! I've been tying to crack harmonics for ages, and I've finally got them!

so ive been to make a harmonic on 3rd, 5th, 7th, and 9th frets, but i cant seem to get the 12th to work

@kyle892 Pluck closer to the bridge and roll off some low end. Takes a bit of finesse, but it will be done. Keep at it!

is there a specific setting on which harmonics sound better?

Turn on only the pickup closest to the bridge, they'll sing more.
