@sbgrox11 it is a well built guitar that he helped design to fit his own preferences, like the volume control for instance, but you can do that on any electric guitar, whammy bar or not.

@Thrashman1990 physics is actually key. there's some interesting stuff going on when one plays harmonics, it's all about nodes

You can eliminate the unwanted strings by muting the lower ones with right hand thumb resting on them and higher ones with spare left hand finger touching them. Depending on which finger are you "smacking" with. Check the competition video on my channel! Thanks!

A long long time ago I had attended a guitar "camp" at the Raleigh Music Academy in NC... Anyway at some point I was able to play his guitar.. His action from what I remember was very high, as well as having a heavier gauge string set.. They could have been 11's but may have been 10's.. Not very sure.. But that guit is sooo resonant it's ridiculous. But it was easier to pull natural harmonics with the action higher as to not hit the fret....

really want to know how he's creating harmonics like that with such control without letting any other strings ring out. i tried doing what he does, i.e smacking the stings where simple harmonics are and all i got was a load of nasty string noise :( would be nice if there was a camera pointing down the neck

wassup mother fucker! Lol.. hehehe great stuff here lots of crazy ideas...

What's the name of the song he's trying to mention at like 2:12 ish?
Nothing against dimebag but Mattias just has so much more control and mastery over harmonics...
