This video is about 3 common mistakes guitar players make with pinch harmonics and the exact breakdown of the motions involved in pinch harmonics, so you can get them to sound right (almost) every time.
Still can't do them

Stick with it guys. I struggled for ages. Get the harmonic sound, then move up and down between your pick ups to find where you need to be. For instance on bottom E on 6th fret for me it is about 2cm off my bridge pickup. You will get it, stay with it!
Dude, you and me both. I’m getting wrecked by them tonight. Can’t even accidentally make the sound, yet.
I can’t even get the harmonic sound when i touch the string:(
you’ve probably figured it out by now, but turn the volume slider on the amp and your guitar all the way up. I’ve spent like 5 hours today trying to figure out why it wasn’t making the screech and it turns out it was just my volume.
This has always been one of the best channels for learning guitar for years now. It has stood the test of time.
Great video I've been struggling with pinch harmonics for a while. Breaking it down into three parts is a game changer!
best tutorial for the pinch harmonics on guitar found online! great job and thank you!
Thanks. This is exactally what was searching for.
I have been playing for literal YEARS and have never once gotten this down and the first time I tried separating the down stroke and touching my thumb to the string I got a pinch harmonic. I'm going to need to practice this more to ever actually play this in a song but oh my god this got me to actually do it!
You are the best teacher out there I learned this so quick I searched hundreds of videos and didn’t get it 😮🎉
Really good explanation, thank you
Years back there was a tutorial in a mag, spiderwebs by no doubt tab, it explained PH , i got the thing straight away, struck string with plectrum and thumb at the same time and that was it for me
Wow..he tells you straight..top lesson!
Thank you now I can play them very well
Thank you so mush I was trying for 1 year and just couldn’t do it until this video thank you
Figured that out quick, thx
that's actually very helpful!
Great explanation, as always.
Great lesson!! I'm still struggling to get them, it's very hard to do on the lower frets-3rd fret on low E string.
Best. Guide. On. Pinch. Harmonics. Ever.
Thanks for explaining the 3rd part (brief contact). That has been my problem, and seems to be missing from many lessons out there. How important is the tone with the the PH?
Thanks a ton in how to not do harmonics. Subscribing you for learning more. Stay blessed
I looked up videos on this and I'm doing the same thing and nothing happens 😞
Sameee
7 years of playing death metal, pinch harmonic is the one thing I still find it "hard"
25 years ago my friend was doing those pinch harmonics and didn't know how to show me. I think he just didnt want to show me so I had to figure it out by myself.
Experienced the same thing :)
I love you so much
Excellent info, you have very high action. Can I get similar pinch with less action?
And what about pick thickness? Mostly thick picks give good results.
My string action is quite low now (you can see in this video). So, yes: you can do pinch harmonics with low action. See this: ua-cam.com/video/dlpjMnghOGQ/v-deo.html
One reason I switched to Bass 🎸...Lol Great Lesson
when i hit it with my thumb there ois no sound
Do u need to have it on distortion? Also, can it be done on an acoustic guitar?
Will that work if the guitar is unplugged?
Or it needs a distortion effect for the squeal to be obvious?
This is the best I can achieve in 20 years of trying to get a clear pinched harmonic---bit slow & clumsy ---but extended index finger method does work ----try it ?
It is imposible to explain this better
Very good information bro, thanks. Can i mention that pinch armonic will activate a different note depending on x/3 of the longitud of the string, between note pressed and the bridge. Nice lessn of motions
It's like calculus... Lol
Does tuning have an effect on the ability to do this
I have been struggling for 10 years to pinch harmonic I don't get what is going wrong, hopefully this video helps.
You're not alone. I've been playing 20 years, and I gave up 18 ago because the non-video explanation in "Rock Guitar for Dummies" was useless. I also tried five other videos on UA-cam, but this was the only one that showed me what I've been doing wrong.
Only 10?
Been trying for 33 years
I wanna ask is there a budget amp that also sound good or every good amp is like expensive af
My problem is switching back and forth. Either all of them are normal sounding notes or all of them sound like harmonics
Same. The second I touch the string with my thumb like he does it mutes the note.
I CANT I CANT I CANT I GIVE UP I GIVE UP I GIVE UP
Don't do it
My jackson js 22 does not make that sound when I touch it with the thumb. I've tried hundreds of times. It has never done it once.
Check if the intonation of the guitar is accurate or not
You even used the same lick in the introduction 😁
i have a cheap beginner guitar and when i touch the string it doesnt make the harmonic but just stays the same tone. Do i have to upgrade my gear or is it in the technique?
Technique
Pinch harmonic,do in the "A" string , is the real challenge
He reminds me of mr checkov from strar trek
please help, I cant do it?
Okay okay okay.
I finally made some progress watching this video.
The proof of the pudding ....
Ive been playing for years. I still havent come close to a pinch harmonic😂 even after watching videos
what amp setting is best for pinch harmonics?
Fully cranked😂
😊
Watching this while learning Comfortably Numb solo ˇˇ
I can pinch a loaf but not a harmonic.
doesn't work for me :( i bounce my thumb and nothing, still sounds like a normal note. I am trying to play a d note on the A string (5th fret 2nd low string) . Tried it open and with other strings, and no dice. You make it look easy, what am i doing wrong. Do you need a special amp for this? I don't have money for a $1000 tube amp. Using a fender mustang modelling amp. Tried everything. nota
just fing did it. Needed to be up near the neck, and blam... everytime. I have a feeling its different for each guitar. I also maxed my gain
I'm stuck at 1st step... sound stops...
I thought it was much more complicated than this 😮
Your guitar hum bucker is really sensistive---I have failed to pinch the harmonic --however if I extend my picking INDEX finger 2 inches above the pick --then pick with plastic AND tip of index finger SIMULTANEOUSLY---I get superb harmonics in most places --not prefect --but I do not understand how your thumb AND pick work together -----so I use my method --not great --but I still get a loud hi -pitched SQUEAL 1
Yeah me either
still doesn’t work for me i dunno what i’m doing. i press my thumb on the string and it just stops playing obviously
The string still needs to vibrate, just ever so slightly, so try a lighter touch.
...and full gain/distortion on the amp.
This is the lick that Glenn Fricker keeps annoying us with ahahahahaha 2:01
when i do it my note stopps
XD at first it sounded like alarm
How in the actual f**k does he get it to sound that LOUD and so crisp and clear and the harmonic actually plays out like he strummed a string by just touching the string after strumming…. I can do pinch harmonics alright but I can’t get how they make them sound like THAT. I understand the better the equipment is it’s just gonna sound better but still. If I do a pinch on the low e (tuned down to c or something low) and do the same note and everything else mine sounds like a normal pinch harmonic. There’s sounds like a ancient robot eagle squealing at planet shattering frequencies. It’s ridiculous lmfao I just wanna know if it’s a effect or a certain distortion pedal or if it’s all just me
Crank amp too ear blistering volume 😮😂😂
Adam sandler jumpscare
wtf, it seems so easy but i cant even do 1. xd
I just need a high gain amp
he was playing pinch harmonics so hard, that there is a dust under the strings. Probably it is from his fingers.
Pick up and let it hit the middle finger
Bass-0 Treble -max. Volume - at least 6.
Whenever I put my thumb on the string it just mutes it
Is your amp cranked to 10 😂🤪😂
Perfect phs exist but no one could exactly tell you how to perform them! So dark 😅
Doesn’t work
Never mind… lmfao right after I commented I started getting the sounds like he’s getting but it just doesn’t sound like it’s coming from a thousand plus dollar guitar and couple thousand dollar amp and pedals and everything known to metal
Love hearing how bad your intonation is, and that you can't tell they note is flat af, should totally be giving advice.
There are no lessons for guitar just develope your ear and you will master guitar instinctually the best teacher is your ears
This is a pretty bad comment
@@mriggs596 lol this dude learned all his chords just by randomly arranging his fingers up and down the fret board. And I mean obviously he learns it all by ear on his own or why else would he be on a YT video
