  • You misunderstand, you cannot get harmonics at the 12th fret on all the strings whilst holding the chords. You CAN get slapped harmonics anywhere with the correct positioning of the slap relative to the chord shape you are holding but getting a perfect slapped standard C major at 12th fret equivalents for example would not be possible.

    It Would however be possible to get an approximation by angling your slapping finger to adhere roughly to the chord shape, which may be what you mean??

  • Hi do you mean the pickup in the sound-hole?

    If so then the answer is no it is not needed. But it can make it easier on some guitars.

  • jajaja cool Mario Bros

  • good ear man, glad you spotted it!

  • what kind of guitar is he using?

  • Its an Avalon L25 Cedar top.

  • Oh yes you're totally right!

    I'm sorry, I thought (with my stupid head) that you meant that you couldn't get slap harmonics on all the strings Without pushing on any fret.

    but of course if have a chord you can't get harmonics on all the strings just by slapping the 12th fret!

    You're right and well thanks for commenting on my (not so sharp) comment!

    Goodluck in the future, and well you already played with Eric Mongrain so I guess it will just keep getting better! ;)

  • do you use a pick-up?

  • @braddyboy82 its a technique usually used by a solo guitarist. bongos also have a much different sound.

  • Why not just get some guy to hit the bongos while you play guitar? Wouldn't that make things easier and add more to the music?

  • You are the most helpfull man about guitar teachers i have ever seen in youtube. YOU ARE AMAZING MAN THANK YOU SOOO MUCH ..!

  • Hi dale, what kind of guitar do you play? Or what kind of guitars would you reccomend for the percussive/fingerstyle playing?

  • wow great tutorial!

  • Is the electro - acoustic guitar necessary for this type of music? Because I'm trying to get sounding like this on my extremely cheap acoustic, and it sounds like shitting cow. Aren't you using some reverb on this, to get a brighter ant long lasting harmonics? You know, when I slap harmonic it sounds pretty good, but when after that I hit the strings, all the harmonics just dissapear (because I mute them with hitting). I wonder, reverb would help on this a lot, wouldn't it?

  • Hey Dale....Great lesson man!! i have a question though....Which program did you use to show the chords on the top of the screen?

  • buena men! gracias

  • Thank you :D
