Yeah i've Pinched a Nylon string before, it sounds cool, its not loud, but it still works

does anyone have any sounds of a natural and an artificial harmonic? it would help a lot thx.

natural : listen to the begining of Metallica - sanitarium

artificial : pantera- cimetery gates (the "heavy" riff when the guitar screams)

(listen to those songs, while following the tab, it helps to see when)

hope i helped you

the technicalities are the same, i can do it better using 2 fingers than with a pick on nylon strings

a good thing to remember is that natural harmonics mirror, that is, a harmonic on fret 7 is the same as fret 19 (they are both a 3rd division of the neck)

using this, you can learn pinch harmonics easier, i.e. play a natural harmonic at around fret 3.3 (thats inside the fret, hunt around for it)

then transfer this harmonic to the string near the bridge; titll be the same distance from the bridge, as the 3.3 is from the nut

hope this helps! :)

The octave N.H. you get on the 5th fret is twice as high on the 17th fret. 3x the
orignal string

ooo my mistake:angel:

ive seen a chart before that tells you notes of N.H. accross the fretboard... dya know where it is? :>

ok.lol

I can't get the pinch harmonic part from "WHERE THE SLIME LIVE"
I try but doesn't sound exactly like it!!!
And DAMN I DONT HAVE A 7 STRING GUITAR!!

try it at different place over the pick up. the sound change depending if you pick over the bridge or the neck pick up

Trey Azagthoth uses huge bends and crazy vibrato with his harmonics to make them sound that sick. He also does some really crazy techniques with the floyd rose tremolo.

when practicing songs that have A.H.'s in them, i sometimes fail and end up with a strange wah-ish half-harmonic sound...which sounds really nice(hehe), anyone know what those are called? its when your finger doesnt touch the string enough and it makes it kinda vibrate

Natural Harmonics.

try using this technique for that squeaky sound...if you hold the pick in b/w ur thumb & middle finger, then use your index finger to touch the string while picking at the same time...then use a vibrato to pull the harmonic off more effectively......this one is a bit more dificult than the other technique, but far more effective once you master it

memnoch: hrm, doesnt sound like one...
ps: this is mostly when bending at the same time

I can't do that A.H. part in "Secret Face" from Death.....
Its the riff after the flanger effect.....Whats A.H.?
Is it pinch harmonics?
Can anyone show me some links to these harmonic techniques?
I tried cyberfret, but are there any other sites....
I tried guitar.com but evertime I sign up, I don't get my password!!!.........
PLease help with these harmonic techniques....
Thanks in advance!

hey man......a.h is artificial harmonic...same as pinch...i dont think any site can help you with this...you just need to know how to do it & rest will come as you practise...so just go through any site or even this thread to get a basic idea & practise hard...cheers :uzi:

I've been trying to perfect that song for a while now. Heh, needless to say, it's a pain in the ass...especially playing it on a Gibson, lol.

there hard at first but once you get them down there pretty easy. if im lucky i can get a whole string of pinch harmonics going on all the strings on any fret below like 7 or something. the pinch harmonics on the 6th's string is the hardest to do but sounds the weirdest.
:smash: :smash: :smash: :smash: :smash: :smash: :smash: :smash: :smash: :smash: :smash:

Yeah, it took me quite some time to get to grips with em, but once you get the technique down, it gets way easier. Now my hands kinda remember where to hit the string to get the harmonic depending on where my hands are on the neck :S It's pretty cool.

Memnoch: Thanks for the Idea!! I never really thought of doing them upstroke before - a tremolo picked pinched harmonic riff would sound fucking evil! Im gonna get practicing!
