Harmonics - A Practical Guide

While basic harmonics are one of the easiest sounds to produce on the double bass, the learning curve takes off at a steep climb afterwards! Travis Harrison will give you the tools and knowledge needed to understand the ins-and-outs of harmonics on the double bass, from sound production principles, to notation styles, to alternative ways of playing them to get the best sound and most effective performance.

Having a bass with you to try these out as we go is strongly encouraged - the tactile nature of this technique makes it almost mandatory!
