    Whats crazy is i discovered the thumb harmonic(or whatever its called) on my own just by playing and having fun. People forget to say having fun is a HUGE part in learning and play

  • @eyeofhorus4387
    @eyeofhorus4387 Před 5 lety +113

    Guys if you’re having a lot of trouble getting the full harmonic sound and it sounds a little chunky, try picking softer. I just fixed that exact problem and I can do a pinch harmonic on any fret now so try it.

    This is a very informative video. I was just about to comment that I just couldn't get the right sound until I put on distortion and I realized the screams have just been muted the entire time. It's vital that you have your amp set to "metal." I believe you mentioned this in the video briefly, but I didn't realize it was so important.

    Decent pickups help too, when I was first learning, I was doing it correctly but the harmonics never came out, then I got better pickups and I could hit them every time. :)

      The position of your pick-up selector matters. The bridge pickup makes the harmonics come out clearer.

    thumb/pick positions vary a bit as is shown over multitudes of youtube demos. Our hands and movements all vary but there'll be a slightly different position that works for all of us. It took me a few different thumb positions to get it

    How it happened for me is that i am learning guitar for 4 months now and first amp i bought was a Marshall 30 dfx gold and did not like the sound and could not dial a sound that a like or maybe on the overdrive 2 but nothing great so i bring it back to the store and saw a Boss katana artist 100 watts and bought this one instead .The cool thing with the katana is that there is a switch to select 100 , 50 or 0.5 watts so once i put it at 0.5 i crank the volume to 8 and the master at 3 and boom ! pinch harmonic all i want .Thanks for the video, it help to know to move your hand over the pick-up gives different sounds
