What DrOctatonic said is absolutely correct. For 2 and a half years I could never get pinched harmonic squeals out of my guitar no matter how many tutorials and videos I watched regarding the technique. I never realized it was such a gear-dependent element of music until I switched out the stock EMG pickups with Seymour Duncan, plugged into a Marshall half stack, cranked up the gain, and voila: pinched harmonics with barely any effort.

They're "Pinch Harmonics". Basically you have to be on the bridge pickup and when you pick, have your thumb very close to the edge of the pick so that you actually "shave" the string with the thumb. The best way to start with pinch harmonics is to keep trying one fret at a time (like the 5th fret on the G string) and moving the pick up/down the neck as you pick till you get the wanted harmonic. Hope it helps.

The harmonics on the low strings are hard to get without the right gear, but as long as your hitting the right spot between the pickups with your thumb you should at least hear a good ping. active pickups and the right amp make them effortless as long as you know where to hit with the thumb, if you hit different spots around the pickups you get different pitches too. Bit as long as you're hitting the right spot you should at least hear the right pitch, be it little ping or a raunchy scream
