Rock Tricks - Pinch Harmonics 1

[Lydomina]

Dammit. I can get it to sound, but it's no where near the volume of the the regular notes like in this video.

[BlackBeThyName]

@Lydomina 1- heavy gauge strings

2- extra thick pick

3- strike it with power! (obviously)

4- lottttts of distortion

5- if you have equalizer set the "highs" to max level..

5- always use the BRIDGE pick up

if the problem persists after doing all of that.. try it on a different guitar with different pick-ups to see if your pick-ups are sending a weak signal.. you might then need to invest in some descent high-output pick-ups..

hope that helps

[Lydomina]

@BlackBeThyName Thanks, I have gotten quite a bit better at it since I last posted. I would probably benefit from some better pickups in general, but for now the harmonics are ok at least.

[TENGKUOAIDIL]

i get the pinch harmonics sound but i didnt get it to scream loud

[DumbShitOnGuitar]

@TENGKUOAIDIL try to pinch the 5th fret on the a string .. but hold the fret with the index the middle and the ring finger so you can do a very hard vibrato :) and yo gonna make that ass harmonic scream! :D

[mannerohardy]

[mrshredstarZ]

Yeah guys it is hard but practise and practise and it's a great feeling when you get it,

[muzikpr0]

I've always wanted to learn pinch harmonics but I didn't know that they were called "pinch harmonics".

Thanks to you, I learned it in like 5 minutes!

[deathbladez13]

Takes a while to master them, your video really did help on why i couldnt get a good clean harmonic sound..thanks for post!

[ginonater]

i can do them i just can't work them into a riff like crazy train

any tips?

[RT7]

It all depends on how you're holding your pick for the riffing part. If it is COMPLETELY different than the way you're holding the pick then it will be hard to switch between the two. A good practice exercise would be playing the riff, holding the pick so it makes the harmonic sound and then only make a slight adjustment from that picking technique so it doesn't make a pinch harmonic. If this is comfortable for you then that's good. Basically, just play around with switching between the two!

took me four days but i got it!!!

[kenzi64]

this is bull i wasted fucking 3 hours trying to do this bull shit all it fucking does is mute it

[Spade103XBL]

If it just mutes it, you're using too much of your thumb when you're hitting the string.

[420NinjaAttack]

make sure you aren't playing between the bridge and the last pickup you have selected. or it wont work.

[g00dz]

[AXEguitarist]

its pretty difficult for the first weeks of trying pinched harmonics out^^

i could make it yesterday. and its awesome^^

but guess what, i have to practise more, because it is really difficult.

[motocrossfreak33]

i can do them pretty good but not on the low E. like the string to big or somthin can u tell me why i cnt

[1saml2k7]

do i need 2 plug my guitar in?

[korean4arch]

ahh yesO_o i guess that'll will help a lot and also put lots of treble and distortion. but if u play it unplugged u can still hear it

[Colovistherogue]

:( I still cant do it!

I dont think im doing it right

[yamaha6163]
