What extended techniques should I try out next? If you liked this video, please consider supporting my work on Patreon! https://www.patreon.com/LeviMcClain
The koto uses silk strings, so on your bass it's a lot more like the guzheng.
Ukulele player James Hill has a great video using chopsticks and hair comb with ukulele to do many similar percussion tricks. Highly recommend that classic
Excellent experimental techniques master class on electric fretless bass!
This is all very interesting. I'm a bass player currently looking for fun ways to create unique sounds like in your video and I found this your playing inspiring a well. Gave you a sub immediately! Thank you!!
The twisty thing is easy if you use a pick
Awesome! What bass is that? If you made it or had it custom made, what are those pieces you used for the pegs that hold the string at the top of the neck?
i've had good results using architectural modeling rods of varying thicknesses, slid between the strings and the fingerboard – small ones create a nice buzzing effect when used close to the nut. also, thick rubber bands like you find on your broccoli can be slipped over the headstock to make a subtle mute – cool to use it where there are natural harmonics. but the best prep in my opinion is small springs used in various ways… reply to this comment and i'll try to explain what i do with them… and can you please make a video about your bass, or point me to one if it exists? cheers!
Hey Levi, what mute/bridge is that?
All of the different pieces you created using these techniques sound great. I could listen to a whole album of those.
Loved the hymn pun and the use of Comic Sans.
Thanks for these interesting, absorbing and educational videos! So good!
Can you please do a video about your bass. I have searched and searched and know nothing about the instrument.
Look up the Passerelle Bridge by Kaki King and Rachel Rosenkrantz. They make a brass bridge for bass now for your "koto effect", I have the guitar one and it is amazing on acoustic guitar! You will love the bass one.
Also, please talk about all those old metronomes on your wall. I love this "art" (?) – so cool! Love your channel
6:50 there is another way to do this without suffer no harm, just passing the upper string over the lower one, it is done almost immediately.
Anyway, now I have to try to play it with a satisfyer. ????
the third ones was actually really cool, i see a lot of potential in it
Shoutout to Johnny Foreskin for not only sponsoring this video (at least partly), but also for the best username in frigging years XD
