so fucking helpful I used to think you physically pinched the string….

Geez!!! At first I Couldn’t do ‘em, now through practice I nailed ‘em. (Thanks To The Video. Awesome Job Dude.) But now, my problem is that, I can’t play them inbetween my playing, like I’m actually trying to learn the song “My Fist, Your Mouth, Her Scars” By Bullet For My Valentine, but I just can’t go from the standard pick formation to the holding to end type of think for the harmonics. :| Anyone got any tips to change formation?

it counts when i don´t pick i mean??…. i just “pick” when the pick its perpendicular to the string not paralel, like using it digging the string…. it is ahmmm fair.. or its ok to do it this way???

@ObeyYourMaster123 Just don’t hit other strings?

TheZombiesarepeople2November 3rd, 2011 at 11:02 am

Wow, 0:47. When my friend explained it to me for like 10 minutes I still didn’t get it, but just those few seconds made me learn. Thanks dude, I can finally play Welcome Home.

@deathbysilence1 just as it says on the video when u hit the string with your pic just let ur thumb softly hit the string straight after :) takes time to get used to but can be picked up with practice

deathbysilence1November 3rd, 2011 at 11:55 am

Crystalforge66502November 3rd, 2011 at 12:22 pm

AHHHH!!! why cant i do this shit?!?! >:(

ObeyYourMaster123November 3rd, 2011 at 12:44 pm

I always hit the other strings, what should i do?

jcw3032November 3rd, 2011 at 12:54 pm

Hey thanks for the great video :D So now i can get the pinch harmonic no prob. Its just incorporating that into a song/solo. It takes me about 5 seconds just to hold the pick right for harmonics then back for chords. How do you change holding the pick so quick? Just practice?

iCadaverxNovember 3rd, 2011 at 1:35 pm

do you have to have certian strings on the guitar?
I’m using a Shecter Hellraise and i’ve been at it for about an hour. Dx
can’t do it.
