  • In the video

    First ones Natural Harmonics(NH)

    Second ones Pitch Harmonics(PH)

    Examples:

    NH-Eddie Van Halen...

    Songs: Top Jimmy, Panama, etc

    PH-Dimebag, Zakk Wylde and Billy Gibbons, maybe He invented them (PH)

    Songs: Cementery Gates, Floods etc.. Crazy Train, La grange

    For the new video maybe you could play some of these examples as a suggestion, you meant well, only the names of the harmonics... My Best Wishes!!

  • Thanks for clarifying that. I made this video a long time ago, and I will definitely incorporate all of this when I issue the "remastered" version!

  • Why don't you just call natural harmonics what they are and call pinch/artificial harmonics what they are?

  • I am remastering and redoing this vid, no worries

  • Ok- Soooo as the comments show- the video kinda missed some points..maybe I'll go back and Remaster this video?! RichManofAction: Remastered- you guys lik the sound of that?

    I am getting a brand new custom Jackson soon, so I am sure i'll pull off the pinches, pitches or watever you'd like to call em on it just fine...

    More videos on the way!

  • tune your guitar you chop...

  • first one, Classically they are called natural harmonics or simply harmonics... and the second is widely known as Pinch, why pinch? because how you do it is like pinching the guitar strings :)

  • like the lesson, not your shirt!

  • i cant believe you actually referred to doomsday jesus its one of my most favorite songs everXD

  • i cant do this on a fender starcaster with single coils and a sp 10 amp can i ? sorry. im kind of a noob.

  • very hard to hear them with the settings you have, you hear it much better with a lot of distortion and i think higher mid would help also.
