Darrell... I have been playing self-taught guitar for 15 years... I always tried to do those "touch/tapped" harmonics to play Deep Purple's Sometimes I feel like screaming and I thought my pickups just sucked because I could never make them sound the same... I didn't know you had to pluck the string at the same time as your index hovers over the note 12 frets above the fretting hand... nobody had explained this as good as you... thank you!

I’ve been playing guitar for 35 years, and I know (and do) all of these harmonics, but it’s great to see someone teaching these techniques. Not to mention this guy is an awesome teacher/youtuber. But the great thing is that even someone like me can pick up on other people’s styles and techniques. I learned a different way to do pinch harmonics! I pinch from my index, as Darrell rolls to his thumb. I’m going to give this technique a try. You’re never to old to learn, and you will never be so good that you can’t pick stuff up from even “beginners”. Great video!
@upfront2375

For those artificial harmonics (also works for naturals) as a classical player, I can say that there is a trick to make them sound much louder and it works on any type of guitar. As soon as you hit the string with you thumb (or pick) do a quick pull-off kind of move and move away your finger from the fret.
@ianwheeler8764

Thanks Darrell. Nice video for combining all the different harmonic types which can be played on a guitar. If I may be so bold, I would like to add a couple of things which might be confusing for less experienced players. First, when he mentions "floating" over the string, you do have to actually lightly touch the string with your finger; it's just that you're not "fretting" the string by pressing it down until it touches the frets. Also, once the string is picked, plucked, or tapped, you must remove your finger(s) from the strings quickly, other wise you will mute the harmonic and it won't ring out and sustain.

@Rollermanfromspace

the key to harmonics is that you're cutting the string down into different frequencies. That is why there are dots on the fretboard, because the strings break down at those points and produce those different frequencies. When you cut the string in half, like a natural harmonic on the 12th fret, it produces the same note at a different frequency and tone, making it sound cool. So when you do artificial and are outlining the chord, you're just cutting the string in half at different points because you've functionally moved the nut up say two frets like on the Am chord. It helps with tapped harmonics too, if you're playing an Am pentatonic scale and want to do a tapped harmonic, use the 17th and 19th fret markers. At those frets it cuts the string in half (5th fret + 12 frets = 17th fret)

It would be worth explaining to people what the technique essentially consists of, which is about damping the lower harmonic(s), so that the higher harmonics stand out. A basic sound wave is a sine wave, which has only one frequency. But when we excite the string of a real guitar, the vibration of the string contains a superposition of several frequencies, with different sound volume or amplitude. Usually, the frequency that stands out the most is the fundamental frequency, which is the lowest frequency (lowest pitch). This vibration mode manifests at its highest amplitude at half the length of the string (about where the 12th fret is), with nodes (static points of no vibration) only where the strings are fixed (i.e. saddle and nut). But in that same length of string, standing waves of the higher harmonics also coexist. They are there, despite being less visible and less audible. So, if frequency f is the fundamental frequency (also called 1st harmonic), f2=2*f is its 2nd harmonic, f3=3*f is its 3rd harmonic, f4=4*f is its 4th harmonic, and so on. The higher the harmonic, the higher the octave. Harmonics are the same notes, but in different octaves. These frequencies will have maximum amplitude points at multiple locations (equally spaced) along the string. The higher the harmonic, the higher the number of locations where the amplitude reaches its maximum. For example, the 2nd harmonic has a maximum on the 5th fret (about 1/4 the length of the string) and another one near the neck pickup, about where a 24th fret would be. It also has a node (zero amplitude) at half the string length (12th fret). That is why when we hover the finger over the 12th fret and hit the string, we let the 2nd harmonic stand out. By doing that, we are damping the fundamental frequency, which has maximum amplitude at that location, while not affecting the 2nd harmonic, because it has a node there. The same effect explains why when we hover the finger over the 5th fret and hit the string, we are letting the 3rd harmonic stand out. By doing that, we damp the 2nd harmonic, because it has maximum amplitude there, we don't affect the 3rd mode, because it has a node there, and we partially damp the 1st harmonic (fundamental frequency), because that is not the location of a 1st harmonic node and thus the string still vibrates with that frequency at that location. So we can damp it. Playing the string at a hypothetical 24th fret would produce the same frequency or pitch as playing the 3rd natural harmonic on the 5th fret. So, the whole idea about playing higher harmonics is about finding the locations where you can damp the vibration of the lower harmonics. In other words, you have to find the location of a suitable node of the harmonic that you want to stand out, so that you can damp the others without affecting it. Now you can imagine that, since the string actually vibrates in a superposition of many frequencies, there are special points along the string where one can damp certain groups of harmonics with one single touch, while letting other harmonics stand out. That is the art of the pinch harmonics. The artificial harmonics are not really artificial per se. They are natural harmonics of the fretted string. It is equivalent to making the guitar neck shorter. When you fret a string and play it, you are changing the length of the string (the length that is free to vibrate), and therefore you are changing the fundamental frequency and all its related harmonics. You changed the note. As a consequence, the positions where you can damp harmonics will change in relation to the length of the string. I hope this helps clarify "why", in addition to the video's answer to "how".

I play pinch harmonics on my acoustic by playing a natural harmonic with the flat side of my finger, rather than the fingertip while pinching. To do a bend, I just pull my whole hand downwards and curl my finger around the string. It’s actually much easier to do than regular pinch harmonics.

One quick accidental tip for beginner guitar - pick a melody (full song) to play (so its not repetitive) and play it for about 15 - 20 times standing STANDING and use the softest pick. As you get completely comfortable with the tune (you wont worry about hitting the notes) you hand becomes loose. Then try and tweak the angle of attack (strumming hand) just a little and dig into some of the notes and you'll hear it. It was a crazy moment! I could not do the same sitting and playing though but it happened by accident standing! You'll get it!

Pinched harmonics and natural harmonics is probably one of the very first cool tricks a metal head learns how to do on guitar. Dime Bag does this amazing hammer on type of "harmonic squeal", while "climbing" on his tremolo. I have yet to perfect this method, but Natural and Pinched, I can do in my sleep.
