You can, to a certain extent, but they aren't the same thing at all.

Yes and no.

You cannot add vibrato to a natural harmonic.

You can hit pinch (also called false) harmonics at different pitches, and get 'semi-harmonics', which I don't believe you can with natural harmonics.

Generally though, a natural harmonic and an un-vibratoed pinch harmonic on the same fret on the same string, are the same note, an octave higher.

You cannot get that evil squeal (that we all so desire) with a natural harmonic though.

Try natural harmonics, with a tremelo, on the third frets, it sounds pretty evil sometimes

whats harmonics? The screaming sound that Death use a lot?

I'm not that much in to guitar wanking, but I knew how to do this a few years ago... Stumbled upon the sound by accident, but I forgot how because I seldom did it
Think it was something about bending string right after palm muting.. duno

Can enyone tell my how to do it?

The two are not the same! If he's so hot on the guitar how come he's not demonstrated his point by showing you how so alike they on a guitar?? And may I suggest castrating your mate so he doesn't breed and populate the world with more of his stupid kind

It's all semantics: 'artificial harmonics', or pinch harmonics, are merely natural harmonics applied to an existing note. You'll notice that if you do a pinch harmonic on an open string (which is infact a natural harmonic using your thumb) that it's the same thing as a natural harmonic on fret three, which would use a fretting hand. That's the technical answer, but to answer it bluntly, guitarists generally define them both as different things, basically for clarity.

Once again, it's all word play, and it truely doesn't matter. If you really need to argue, argue about something worth arguing about


As for the 'can't get the harmonics etc' take a look at the technique made popular by dimebag...

Chances are he won't accept this, but no one gives a fook

There is also headbanging and moving in slow motion so that your fingers look like they moving faster. So fast they are about to bend light and rip a hole in the fabric of spacetime via your shred skills.
