Dividing
the bass string into 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 parts
The process of dividing the bass string could continue.
Here is a video of me playing the harmonic series. Each time the
string is divided into more parts, and shorter parts. The shorter
the part that is ringing, the more difficult it is to get a harmonic
to sound. In fact you will notice that on the last one I play
(dividing the string into 10 parts) doesn't have all that strong
of a sound.
Here are the frets that I am playing to get this
harmonic series. If your see decimals (3.2, 2.7, etc.) this is
just an approximation of where you should put your finger. The
higher harmonics do not fall right over the fret bars.
I could play other frets to get some of these same
harmonics to ring. This is something that we will be taking a
look at next. But here you can easily visualize the parts getting
shorter as you move your hand towards the nut.
