David! Thank you so much! I had the most difficult time with this! I took your tips, and after I tried, I could instantly do harmonics. Thank you again!
I have the game Rocksmith and the harmonics technique challenge has been driving me f'n crazy... and then I found this video. After watching this, I nailed it first try. THANK YOU!
@fankyfashionmonkey i have an acoustic; i believe its possible, but maybe a little more difficult? right now, i can only hear it softly, but its definitely there on my guitar :)
@luokachan Check out Winter Solstice by The Tea Party--played on an acoustic, using harmonic chords at several points throughout. It's a very cool song, even if you don't like their more popular stuff.
@Sixalienasa I can tell by the way you use the English language that you have about as much of an idea of playing the guitar as you have of building a Flying Saucer. Very very crudely.
if you take off your whammy bar you can slide it on the high e, b, and g strings (near the pickups) and make kool slide whistle-type harmonics. actually, i guess you can do it on any/all of the strings.

@HitTheRedButton Well I listened to him throughout the video. Nothing that I could use. So "wow. just wow. just wow. just wow." > Shut up about it. You sound like a snob.
@elmokid15 ones like Jacksons which specialise in metal. but i do know that a strat is not used in hard rock/metal bandsd mainly rock or pop like Eric Clapton etc.
@elmokid15 check out Ibanez guitars. They have some pretty sweet guitars that are metal machines. The guitarist from System of a Down uses an Ibanez Ice Man, which sounds just as awesome as it looks.
@elmokid15 any guitar can be used for metal. it depends on what pickups you put in it, and what type of effects/distortions you use. even a basic strat can sound good if you drop the tuning and use the right distortion.
thank you so much for this vid. i've seen like dozens of other videos on this, and i have no doubt they were all very accurate, but this really cleared up the mystery(for me) of guitar harmonics.
maybe it's because of the high notes. i think dogs can hear much higher frequencies than people. maybe they also hear high notes louder and it pisses them off
@JediStamos Some people just get nervous infront of a camera, i know when i try to rcord myself playing a song, i always messup while recording, as soon as i turn off the camera, i do fine. IDK why.
who gives a shit how someone holds their pick thats their choice in form. the only thing that matters is how they play if it works for them then its all good

@oppositeofme1
You know, it means that when you pluck the string there are sth like 2 sounds, the low one and the high one. Natural is the high one.
You can hear that when you just wait till the string stops making sound.
Am I right? Cause I'm not sure. Peace
