Master of pinch harmonics
















Zakk Wylde

He can do it clean, guitar behind him, guitar in toilet he in living room, 69 position, helicopter style, bao ka liao!

Serious, listen to his stuff and you know what PINCH HARMONICS is. \m/ to him

and yeah man! i've always listened to him...Ozzy times and now BLS...he's really kickass

No.
Dimebag is a much better guitarist in doing pitches.

 

[Crawldaddy]

Hmm.

Someone forgot The Rev Billy Gibbons

reference point: solo for "la grange"

Dimebag's dead RIP...but the good thing about Zakk is that he doesnt use the whammy bar to further the squeal...yet he still got a good squeal...hope u understand

 

[ShredCow]

You could look at Dimebag's use of the whammy bar as a techique that further expands on harmonics. He doesn't need a whammy to do pinch harmonics but he came up with something different and that's golden.

But if you are into the harmonics thing, Mattias Elkundh is the guy to look out for.

Here's a technique he uses, some other guitar player is doing it.

Here's Mattias in action:

He can use the harmonics to play a full tune.

Something "beyond" mere pinch harmonics. Tapped harmonics.

wat u mean by that? i learnt that u must kinda like "pinch" the string between the pick and ur thumb...which literally means just tapping or slightly tapping the string..but when i do that...i get a dampen sound...damn!

it's not really pinching the string, per se..you just have to kind of brush it with your thumb right after your pick attack. the damping sound is probably from maintaining contact with your thumb for too long. either that, or you don't have enough gain on your guitar. i've always found that it's not that hard to pinch clean though

My friend can pinch harmonics on an acoustic guitar!

congrats to him...but i recently realise that i can do a pinch with a squier fender strat...hmm..hahaha but lately i can make some pinches...thx for all the advises

 

[letterhead]

y nobody say satch? his pinches are so beautiful... dun forget that u can on reverb while doing ur pinch... it helps sustain the sound
