It's basically a note that is played but isn't fully articulated. Wooten uses them to give a better sense of rhythm without making his lines too harmonically dense.
You deserv my respect! U played it real well,on your own way.And that's what we all should do...not trying to be exactly like our mentors...but being ourself.Here's a great demo of what it should suppose to be.Great job.
if you're in a biker gang it means fuck the world. online it means for the win. so idk, maybe if you're dissing someone make sure what you're thinking they said makes sense (geddy lee jazz bass fuck the world? really?), check YOUR facts, and move on? thanks
you dillweed, ftw doesn't mean 'f the world' it means 'for the win' you don't need to be a genius to know that. maybe it's you who needs to get your facts straight.
VId was awesome, btw! learned some good tricks for playin the song!
Nicest bass tone i ever heard on a cover! and do you have an echo on that? Cuz the sustain is unreal. What kinda strings you got goin on there? cuz the ones i got the g string barely resonate the 3 fret harmonic and for any1 else who's gonna comment on this yes my finger is in the right place cuz it works great on other peoples basses.
ive been playing for about 3 years and i still struggle with the 4th's and 3rd harmonics. have your right hand as far back as you can. Or if u hce to pick ups (far apart ones) turn the front one of and paly over that one
hey dude is that a Geddy Lee Jazz? Harmonics sound amazing on those Jazzes LOL R.I.P Jaco Pastorius man he gave us such an amazing new bass era ^_^ Also Victor is the only one who can call out lous Jaco's name ^_^ PEACE
put your tenor all the way up and front pick up off if you have a jazz bass a precision just put tenor on. and harmonics just lightly touch dont hold down your finger close to the edge of the fret
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
This is a discrace to Victor Wooten, not even close although I'm not surprised being that he is one of the best. It is arogant of you to even put in the title Victor Wootens Amazing GRace because this is nothing like it. From around 1:15 to 1:145 you get so far away from what Victor was trying to accomplish. That shit was horrible. Don't entitle it Victor Wootens Amazing Grace rather call it your own because this doesn't resemblt Victor at all.
Dude, seriously!! Just because Victor Wooten is a god doesn't mean you have to mock those who practice and practice to try to be like him. As we all know, people only insult the music of others are only jealous because they can't do it themselves, and you sir, are a perfect example of that. I'll take it back if you so much as dare to post a video of this song better than this. Good luck.
I'm pretty sure Victor Wooten would actually be pretty damn proud to see yet again that his music inspires people to practice, improve and make more good music. Your point is valid, maybe he should've put "(cover)" in the title instead of the description, but that's no reason at all to say it's 'horrible', when it's actually kinda badass.
This is sweet Edwin, 1:30-1:41 was a tough part that you pulled off well.
Hey man, ur really good. just a quick question thou. How do you get the harmonics to come out so clearly? (and) do you have any music for this arangment? (doesnt matter if it is sheet or tab)
I would say start out very very slow and gradually work up the speed. I think on anything, this advice would work. Just feel the rhythm and it'll come along!
Really good job. Might want to take it slower through the groovy section to let the harmonics really expand, and then slowly increase through the fast section instead of jumping right in.
Overall though, great sound and technique. I'm pretty jealous!
Hey, it sounds cool, but the harmonics sound flat, maybe need a setup? Plus, don't rush the groove section, vic is all about having that space in between each note that doesn't rush.
As a completely impartial bystander that does not live by you or hang out with you, you are awesome. I am not your friend Hunter S. Dalton, I do not know you.
Kulenkenkep I usually found out that it depends on the bass that you have to get clarity on the harmonics. The wood , the type of bass etc... you can mess around with the tone and EQ it the way you find it sounds best. What's your rig?
Yeah i use a pod for direct recording, Nuendo 3 and a regular camera. I think I posted the model and such in one of the first comments for this video.
really good. ive been workin on this myself. the "groove" bit lets you down but the rest is tight... you've got the harmonics mixed with bassnote a LOT better than other attempts ive seen on here.. kudos!
sounds great, you've got fantastic consistency with those harmonics. at about 0:55 you start using your right hand to keep the rhythm, which is where the groove really comes out in this tune, work on keeping it constant and you'll have this song completely nailed
