Pinch Harmonic
"Pinch harmonic is a typical guitar scream. It is frequently played by the guitar players to rip into the solo and to play one or more notes that just scream and sound amazing. The principles remain the same but this time all the action depends on how you pick the string.
While playing the pinch harmonic guitar player not only picks note as normal, but also lets his thumb brush up against the note precisely after he picks it. The thumb is arranging the node of the "harmonic" and forcing the strings to oscillate with the desired harmonic series. If you crank the gain and treble up, after employing the technique in proper way, you will always find a screaming harmonic of some kind.
As with other harmonics you require to fine tune the exact position you are using to hit the sweet spot, and you can even alternate between different harmonic types in between notes. Since Pinch Harmonics are performed near the bridge, we are selecting from the higher harmonics, so we acquire high notes. Some higher harmonics also include disharmonious components, imparting to the scream. A lot of the possibilities are here within a small space - we get more because the guitar is by artificial means sensitive to the higher order harmonics as be having upped the gain a lot.
Tap Harmonic
A "Tap Harmonic" is simply like an "Artificial Harmonic"; the divergence between them is that the "tap harmonic" practices a single action- to do a tap, instead of separately touching and pulling the string. For this you require to tap the string lightly so that it very shortly strikes the fret underneath it and remove your finger very speedily. The tap sets the string in oscillation and at the same time produces the node in the right place - so of course you need to tap the string at the accurate place essential to set the "harmonic" you desire.
Whammy Bar Harmonics
Ultimately, the "Whammy Bar Harmonic" is similar to the "tap harmonic", the only difference is that while playing "tap harmonic" you select very high order harmonics, and there is no fret below the exact point you need to hit, therefore, you need to use a whipping action to set the string oscillating and deaden it in the right spot to set up the desired node. That is why; "whammy harmonics" are about the most challenging "harmonic" technique. A great place to do this is on the G string between the 2nd and 3rd frets - depending on the exact place you whip. In this way, you can find 3 or 4 various harmonic series. Just remember that before you whip, push your whammy bar down, and after the tap release it and add a few vibrato - with this technique you can get some crazy screams. - 29968
