@HeavyIronMetalMaiden Chris brown much?


I just can’t get the thumb right after the strum :(


plugfather . com has some great lessons also, as well as an awesome javascript guitar tuner..


a tip try to pick hard then urthumb will hit the string and u get it :D


@CrazyDuck1996 I have practiced I finally got it! I was so happy when I hit it!! It squealed real loud.


@HeavyIronMetalMaiden and if you have practiced you hit one easier


haha this guy kinda reminds me of johnny rotten


@Kashmirishable thats exactly what i want to know too


I like that you didn’t even edit the phone bit out lol.


Do I need distortion to do squealies?


This couldn’t be that hard…right?


practise a litlle bit…not a little


yay i did one!! :D


@rzr666nl No, unless you want octaves (:


does a certain node point on a string apply for pinch harmonics on all frets? or do i have to find a different point for each fret?


By jove, I think ive got it! Great vid, thanks for posting


@snip3rrassassin Seriously?


@HeavyIronMetalMaiden i dont get it


How come nobody ever told me u gotta do it by the pickup. That seems vital! WTF!


watch my right hand please stroak???


thanks this taught me a year ago. for you who don’t get it, keep trying. its not as hard as your making it. you’ll have it down soon.


Its been almost five years since I started. This was the first thing I tried to learn. I *STILL* can’t get Pinch Harmonics on command. If I try for a couple seconds, I will find the node, but it just won’t work for me 90% of the time.


@HeavyIronMetalMaiden And if you’re good enough at it you can really make it squeal.


Omg I might never have a response but I’m quite sure I lived in this flat. WAS IT IN EDINBURGH? I need to know o_O
