can anyone here pull them off? ive been doing it just like ive been told by so many people to do on you tube but it just sound like a normal note. mi guitar is in drop c but i dont think that matters. can anyone give me tips on how to do it and if other people have been having trouble also
If your have a really cheap guitar it won't work too well, but if you have a decent guitar or a great guitar you need to pluck the string but at the same time half mute it near the pickup, while pinching the string, the importamt thing is to practice a lot.
high gain and nice tone will result in the Dimebag express train of squeals, there's a lesson with him on youtube talking about pinched harmonics, he does them a little differently but still results in a great sound
When you pick the note, try to hit the string with your thumb on your picking hand, while using vibrato with your fret hand. It's easier at first with lots of gain, but possible to do acoustically. You're basically hitting a harmonic with your thumb like you would with your other hand on the fretboard-just bumping the string immediately after picking the note. By moving where you pick the note up and down (towards the nut or bridge), it will change the pitch of the harmonic.:)
[QUOTE="eggwaffle"]i dont even wanna say... and i turn the gain as far up as mi little amp will go which i think is ok, but i wudnt kno lolyermomsboxx
I don't know what to tell you. I can still pull them off on my $100 Pevey Rage amp and a less than $200 guitar. Maybe you need more practice. maybe... but ill keep trying and trying untill i get a new guitar. then ill try some more :)
