Honestly: I want you to be my fitness instructor and guitar teacher. "3 More reps! 2 more! 1 more! perfect! Now pick up that axe do 20 pinch harmonics. "
I am a self taught musician and songwriter. I have some great stuff going on after restarting my music career a couple years ago. I want to thank you for helping me learn the correct way to play as I have always played and written by feeling. Now as the pressure of possible touring approaches and I will be spending more time on the guitar then my main instrument the drums you are so amazingly helpful! Thank You! Sincerely, Holland Finch
Hey Jason: I started playing day now ying guitar at 4 years old i'm 67 now. but noticed that i was getting pinch harmonics totally by accident way before i knew what it was. or even heard of a pinch harmonic. and could never get it again then i saw you teaching it. i now know exactly how to do it but the nerves in my hands won't allow me to do it because i have irepairable nueropothy in my hands, total nerve damage. dropping my pick most of the time it really sucks! I love the sound of pinch harmonics. So i keep practicing every single day my thumb meat just won't let me hit the strings Maybe God one day will heal me and can master it some day and be as good as you, Zack Wild, dime bag and everybody else! pray for me. thanks. Rock On you thousands of guitarist.
Oh man I made it work a couple times, I need to work on it more, but it's the first time I've ever gotten it and it only took a few minutes! Thanks for this!
Got carried away 6am and.........I GOT IT LOL. you were right once you get it. You got it.!!! It's something you really can't teach you have to mess around till it comes to you. But once you have it you have. Your time helped I also watched a few other videos it's been a year I've been trying to get it
Thank you for the motivation Jason I just practice pinch harmonics for 20 minutes now I’m going for a 30 minute run when I get back 30 minutes of pinch harmonics, then eat breakfast then more pinch harmonics thanks to you I will master this
@@jasonstallworth awesome I'll def check that! Biggest thing for me rn is finding cool stuff to listen to haha Love the classics Metallica, Maiden, Sabbath etc but don't know a lot else bc I stopped listening to a lot of that stuff when I was a kid in the 90s. Dethklok got me back into listening and BabyMetal got me hooked on some tone searching in terms of higher gain. But there's so much that didn’t really do it for me between like 1990 and Dethklok (Pantera maybe the exception bc I did kinda like some of that). But trying to find maybe some more obscure stuff from that time would be key..... Def open to suggestions if you've got some favorites I should check out for influence! Or hey maybe that's for another video. Anyways much thanks again! 😉🤘
Thank you for your videos, in my opinion your way of explaining guitar is second to none, you display such a love for guitar it made me start playing again after 30 years.
See that's why i like this dude and have prob learned more from him than anyone because of little things like telling you to make sure your thumb is almost or at the edge of your pic !!
Hitting a nice pinch harmonic is the bomb, makes a good riff a better one, grabs the listener by the throat and says " metal on!!" Thanks for the extra tips on hitting the pinch harmonic more than not, got it down good now !!!
Yeah, that makes sense. The pinch harmonic is like salt and pepper on your steak, it's not the whole meal, it's just there to add flavor. I used to play bass in a garage band way back in highschool, I'm 53 now and haven't touched a instrument since, but lately I've been thinking about taking up guitar as a hobby. I'm looking at buying a Jackson JS32 and a small practice amp as a Christmas present for myself. I was originally looking at the Traveler Vibrant 88 Deluxe, but now I'm thinking I should go with the Jackson because it's a full sized guitar, and would be better to learn on. I can always pick up the small Traveler guitar a few years down the road from now. Anyway, nice lesson, I'm kind of anxious to try it out. I'll subscribe for more, thanks. 🎸🎶🎵
After watching many of these pinched harmonic videos, this was the first time I managed to play one with the sound I'm looking for! Really great video!
I wanna add, If you pinch one note, bend it, pinch again before relaxing the bend, you get that Via twin pinch that can be extended to 3, 4 and more on that one note. So relax, you don't need a Grizzly bear chest with Polar bear arms to get it done. I do it all the time and I'm only built like a mountain lion Not a bear like Jason.
I’ve been trying to learn Contraband by Make Them Suffer. There’s a few parts in the song that has pinch harmonics. I got so damn aggravated trying to figure out how to do it, but you helped me significantly! Thank you so much!! Sick axe by the way 🤘😈
Glad this helped! Also, if you don’t have it already, be sure to get my free practice guide that I give to all my subs here: www.jasonstallworth.com/guitarist/
Literally yesterday I was watching a video by someone else and they mentioned pinch harmonics without explaining what it was. Here we are, a day later, with our man, the legend, Jason explaining it in detail :D Thanks for this!
@@jasonstallworth Oh you did, I'm not just experienced enough to actually pull it off yet. Been trying to learn to play on and off for the last 10 years. Never had a proper guitar, just two $100 Wesley ones. Finally decided to pull a plug and get myself something decent last week so been reading about what to get and I think I've settled on the ESP LTD H-1001 so once I order it and it arrives I'll start learning regularly and will definitely come back to your video to practice this stuff too :)
Such a great video, thank you for the info. I really wish I could be more consistent with hitting them. More songs I'm trying to learn are using pinch harmonics so I've got to get better.
Im going to have to come back to this after work and change up how I have been approaching these pinch harmonics. I am one of those people who only gets the 2 out of 10, and saying I get 2 is a bit generous. I can never get them to ring out even when I do "hit" one. Ill give this video a second run through and see if I cant improve over the next week or so. Thanks Jason!
Yeah, definitely use those 3 tips together and that should help! Like most of my videos, I share with you guys what I've learned from my own mistakes! lol
Jason, man, I wish I had your channel around when I was 16. I remember hearing pinch harmonics (and realizing it wasn't just some obscure rack effect) for the first time when I became obsessed with BLS. I figured if I wanted to learn how to use a technique that I heard BLS integrate, who better to learn it from than the man himself, Zakk Wylde. Problem was, he was not, nor has ever had any interest in teaching guitar (evidenced by his old "How to Play" TH-cam video, which is still very funny to me), so "Well, you just touch the string lightly with your finger within a millisecond of picking. Just fuckin'... don't be dumb." I gave up after about 6 years of trying. Here you are with the most detailed explanation for playing, what is essentially, a modified 12th fret harmonic, but Metal. Your teaching style is incomparable. Thank you!
Love your tutorial on harmonics --trying to play CRAZY TRAIN ---Rhoads varied his harmonics --seemed to play them so easily --I can only listen /cringe -- & try to copy them on the low 2 nd and higher 5 th ---7 th frets ---mine sound horrible --your are killer !
Hey Jason thank you for what you do. I'm 66 years old and have been playing for 13 years but never seem to be where I wanted. But I've learned more in the 3 months I've been following you than i ever dreamed so very cool of you to share your knowledge with us.. Thank you sir Stephen
Dude, that's awesome to hear!! And thanks for supporting my channel! Also, if you don't have my free practice course yet, grab that here: www.jasonstallworth.com/guitarist/
you are the only one to show how to hold the pick... and that made so much of a difference. i can actually do it a few times rather than not at all! thank you from the bottom of my guitar! and so did that third tip, that every guitar is different. thank you! i know my guitar a little bit better now, and im sure she appreciates it.
I haven't even finished mastering the technique, nor have I finished your video. But I've made the most progress thanks to your content almost immediately, idk how you did it. Probably holding your pick up to the camera and the way you explain things. But yeah thanks a ton man! Good stuff
Hi Jason, great video again. I personally never had any problems with pinch harmonics but I just thought I would mention exactly what is going on when we play pinch harmonics (any harmonic), as that we are making the sting vibrate from 2 places, 1 from the fretted note to the pick and from the pick to the bridge. This is why this can change on different guitars (possibly with different scale lengths) and we can use this to our advantage by finding the best frequency along the string. To me the best band to use harmonics to the max are Machine Head.
Nice! Thanks for bringing me over here man. When I get off work I'm going to sit down and mess with the axe. I can pull one out every once in a while it's just getting them consistent and not so sloppy. Thanks again man.
Dude second comment in two days, but you are a fantastic teacher. Your sincerity and your commitment to clarity are great. You're also careful to allow for individuality within the techniques that is both humble and wise. Full Marx, homie
I use a lighter pick and I think that tends to make it a little harder to do the pinch harmonics but I just love the sound that i get from the pick. Great tip video 🤘
Man, that’s awesome to hear!! Also, I recently released the Metal Roff Master course for metal guitarists if you’d like to check that out: www.jasonstallworth.com/courses/
@@jasonstallworth I've been thinking about that course. I've gotta pick up a few more steady clients (I'm a freelance copywriter), and I'll probably sign up. If it's anything like your videos, I know it's worth it.
Excellent video sir! I’ve had trouble up to this point with my pinch harmonics and this helped me quite a bit. Still practicing! You are a natural teacher. Much appreciated, sensei Jason!
This is something I want to do as I progress in my guitar learning. Another great lesson. Easy to follow and hopefully it'll allow me to nail it. Cheers!
Progress report requested. If you still haven’t nailed it, keep going. I’ve had scattered success but didn’t really practice before. Don’t let me surpass you!
Thanks so much. I think I’m finally getting it. You’re right. Even 7 out of 10 is good. I thought it was every time, and I was getting frustrated. Very good lesson. Thanks!
Dude, it can be very frustrating and I think don't anyone, even the best, will nail it every single time (unless they have a ton of saturation going on). It's definitely something you have to keep up, as well! Also, and I don't know if you're in this already, but I do have a metal guitar course if you're interested: www.jasonstallworth.com/courses/
That helped me alot man, 31 yr bass player but originally wanted to be Eddie Van Halen lol. Good tips and your humble approach is award winning in my book. Thanks a million!
Digging your videos I've came across lately! Eventually wheti get on disability I want to get and LTD or or and Ibanez with EMGs in it. I'm dealing with lots of spinal issues and it effects my guitar playing cause of nerve issues. What is your favorite metal guitar? 🙏🤘 brother!
@@jasonstallworth I was going to get the RG Axion chameleon blue with the fishmans but I my spinal issues got bad and my shirt term disability was about to expire. So with a 5 year old autistic daughter I had to prioritize. I really dig the wizard neck... Thanks for your reply, your an really nice person and I appreciate you talking the time to reply . Glad you recovered from your pinched nerve 🙏🤘
I like that guitar man..!might have to get myself one ...I have been on a tele rage since the lock downs and I have a couple of really cool ones now 2 more about half done..anyway ibanez on my radar now...rock on brother
@@jasonstallworth Cheers my large armed friend, really, I take everything on board brother and I don't ask or say anything that I don't wanna say or know, love your open bookness..(is that a friggin word bro) who cares it's mine now, I own it... Lol.🤟🤟
Awesome lesson and video bud!! I know this gona take alot of practice for me but lucky i have another furlough this week so have alot of time to work on it!! Thank you Jason!! You are the man!!!🤘😁🤘🍻🍻🍻
@@jasonstallworth you are welcome! Thanks man no need to be sorry tho it is all good!! I am enjoying the extra practice time!! 🤘😁🤘 And the week break from having to put on a mask lol🤟🤡👍 🍻🍻🍻CHEERS BUD🍻🍻🍻
I’ve been playing for awhile and I pretty much have the “pinchies” down but sometimes I think I’m gonna have a nasty squeal and it just fails lol. Good advice. Nice amp I have the same exact one. It just slays! 🤘 One thing about placement of the picking hand, Gojira has a song called Magma where they are moving the picking hand up and down to play pinch harmonics; gives it a really cool effect.
A song called peephole by System Of A Down has ONE pinch harmonic in the solo. It'll take me a while to get this in the bag, but I really enjoyed your video. You were very specific about the guitar pick part and I really appreciate that.
I was getting great pinches with one amp and another sucked I'm thinkn to back off the gain and boost my input signal I have the technique down but this other amp I'm finding it difficult
Jason I get what you talking about playing from one guitar or another, I just go a new schecter reaper and the satin finish feels much different from my Ibanez, Jackson or even my Gibson SG. Also harder to play any guitars with torn rotator cuff and arthritis on my left thumb. The crap we have to put up with age and abuse in the gym.
Ouch, dude, sorry to hear about the injuries! Yeah, I have to be super careful these days and lift with more controlled reps. I was never super strong anyway but I have hurt myself more than once!
Hopefully when I get a shred guitar that’s not out of whack like my LTD I can do some great pinch harmonics stuff and some great shredding. Thank you for this lesson and hopefully soon I have a good instrument to do all that crazy stuff on.
Me: Why am I not working on my guitar course? Oh something I may not use yet but I'd like to know this. Lol. In my world that means I am procrastinating with your course by watching your YT videos. Lol.
Your background is super neat. And this is exactly the video I needed. Trying to learn techniques to the puzzle for me that is getting better at guitar! Thanks
I don't believe you need any specific pedal for pinch harmonics. It does help to have the gain up but it's more in the technique over the amp or any pedals.

Hey Jason: I started playing day now ying guitar at 4 years old i'm 67 now. but noticed that i was getting
pinch harmonics totally by accident way before i knew what it was.
or even heard of a pinch harmonic. and could never get it again then i saw you teaching
it. i now know exactly how to do it but the nerves in my hands won't allow me to do it
because i have irepairable nueropothy in my hands, total nerve damage. dropping my pick
most of the time it really sucks! I love the sound of pinch harmonics. So i keep practicing
every single day my thumb meat just won't let me hit the strings Maybe God one day
will heal me and can master it some day and be as good as you, Zack Wild, dime bag
and everybody else! pray for me. thanks. Rock On you thousands of guitarist.
I’m glad to hear you’re playing and hope that you heal.
For natural ways to heal the body, I practice a lot of what Dr Joe Dispenza teaches.
Oh man I made it work a couple times, I need to work on it more, but it's the first time I've ever gotten it and it only took a few minutes! Thanks for this!
🤘
You look way to Swartzenegger to play with such finesse Jason... You are metal as hellfire
🤘
Got carried away 6am and.........I GOT IT LOL. you were right once you get it. You got it.!!! It's something you really can't teach you have to mess around till it comes to you. But once you have it you have. Your time helped I also watched a few other videos it's been a year I've been trying to get it
Yeah dude, it takes a few times and then all of a sudden it happens !
That's the best explanation no cap.thanks
🙏🏻🤘
Started playing guitar 3 months ago and just today discovered squeals and I knew your chanel would cover this technique! Awesome vid!
Dude, I'm glad you found this...I just put this video out and not sure why it took me so long to put this out there!
did not know you have to move your picking hand around like that, that will be super helpful. thank you!
I'm really glad to hear this helped. It's those little things that can sometimes make a huge difference
Thank you for the motivation Jason I just practice pinch harmonics for 20 minutes now I’m going for a 30 minute run when I get back 30 minutes of pinch harmonics, then eat breakfast then more pinch harmonics thanks to you I will master this
That’s killer schedule 🤘

This is amazing. Thanks for making!
Dude, I have a free practice guide that will be good for getting deeper into metal: www.patreon.com/jasonstallworth

Biggest thing for me rn is finding cool stuff to listen to haha
Love the classics Metallica, Maiden, Sabbath etc but don't know a lot else bc I stopped listening to a lot of that stuff when I was a kid in the 90s.

Anyways much thanks again!
😉🤘
This video is what clicked for me, in particular the: put your thumb right behind the pick and pick with both at the same time
Awesome and glad this helped!
Trying to get this is driving me crazy!!!!! I heard that once you get it you got it for good. I hope so because it's frustrating
🤘
Thank you for your videos, in my opinion your way of explaining guitar is second to none, you display such a love for guitar it made me start playing again after 30 years.

Hi Jason, great video again. I personally never had any problems with pinch harmonics but I just thought I would mention exactly what is going on when we play pinch harmonics (any harmonic), as that we are making the sting vibrate from 2 places, 1 from the fretted note to the pick and from the pick to the bridge. This is why this can change on different guitars (possibly with different scale lengths) and we can use this to our advantage by finding the best frequency along the string. To me the best band to use harmonics to the max are Machine Head.
Thank you for that! There are also a couple of songs by Disturbed and Killswitch that will subtly use those.
Great lesson Jason thank you and I always play better after a good work out! Whether it’s running or hitting the weights.
🤘🤘🤘
Index finger extended 1 1/2 inch onto fret whilst plucking aggressively simultaneously--yields a fairly loud squeal--
Yeah you just have to find what works best for you
Jason as always great lesson well explained as always work out hard practice harder and keep it metal God bless 👍
🤘we definitely have to stay consistent with both!
Nice! Thanks for bringing me over here man. When I get off work I'm going to sit down and mess with the axe. I can pull one out every once in a while it's just getting them consistent and not so sloppy. Thanks again man.

Glad this helps and you will nail it!
Progress report requested. If you still haven’t nailed it, keep going. I’ve had scattered success but didn’t really practice before. Don’t let me surpass you!
Before I knew how to do this, accidentally doing a pinch harmonic made me feel like I was possessed by Eddie Van Halen or something for a second.
🤘
As always, awesome lesson, man! Thank you
🙏 🤘
Your channel should have more subs! You are very informational.
Thank you...the channel is definitely starting to grow more these days, and I'm thankful for all of my subs!
I have a music degree and my instructors were all awesome, this dude reminds me of those times
Thanks so much. I think I’m finally getting it.
You’re right. Even 7 out of 10 is good.
I thought it was every time, and I was getting frustrated.
Very good lesson. Thanks!
Dude, it can be very frustrating and I think don't anyone, even the best, will nail it every single time (unless they have a ton of saturation going on). It's definitely something you have to keep up, as well!
Also, and I don't know if you're in this already, but I do have a metal guitar course if you're interested: www.jasonstallworth.com/courses/
That helped me alot man, 31 yr bass player but originally wanted to be Eddie Van Halen lol. Good tips and your humble approach is award winning in my book. Thanks a million!
Thank you brother 🤘
Awesome! Thanks!
🤘🙏
Thanks, Dad.
Love you.

Digging your videos I've came across lately! Eventually wheti get on disability I want to get and LTD or or and Ibanez with EMGs in it. I'm dealing with lots of spinal issues and it effects my guitar playing cause of nerve issues. What is your favorite metal guitar? 🙏🤘 brother!
Thank you. Yeah, the nerve issues are no fun. I had a pinched nerve a couple of years ago. The Ibanez wizard necks fit my hands the best
@@jasonstallworth I was going to get the RG Axion chameleon blue with the fishmans but I my spinal issues got bad and my shirt term disability was about to expire. So with a 5 year old autistic daughter I had to prioritize. I really dig the wizard neck... Thanks for your reply, your an really nice person and I appreciate you talking the time to reply . Glad you recovered from your pinched nerve 🙏🤘
thx this helpt me sooo much

🤘
I like that guitar man..!might have to get myself one ...I have been on a tele rage since the lock downs and I have a couple of really cool ones now 2 more about half done..anyway ibanez on my radar now...rock on brother
It's a nice one and it's one I'll never part with! I'm actually looking into getting a Tele as well!
Jason have you advise on string gauge and pick size and weight???
This is it here: th-cam.com/video/7Seas7mKBxg/w-d-xo.html
@@jasonstallworth Cheers my large armed friend, really, I take everything on board brother and I don't ask or say anything that I don't wanna say or know, love your open bookness..(is that a friggin word bro) who cares it's mine now, I own it... Lol.🤟🤟
DUDE! Thank you SO MUCH for giving me the lightbulb moment 🙂
🙏 🤘
Awesome lesson and video bud!! I know this gona take alot of practice for me but lucky i have another furlough this week so have alot of time to work on it!! Thank you Jason!! You are the man!!!🤘😁🤘🍻🍻🍻
Thank you, brother Steve! Sorry to hear about the furlough situation but yeah, definitely get some extra practice time in!
@@jasonstallworth you are welcome! Thanks man no need to be sorry tho it is all good!! I am enjoying the extra practice time!!
🤘😁🤘
And the week break from having to put on a mask lol🤟🤡👍
🍻🍻🍻CHEERS BUD🍻🍻🍻
I’ve been playing for awhile and I pretty much have the “pinchies” down but sometimes I think I’m gonna have a nasty squeal and it just fails lol. Good advice. Nice amp I have the same exact one. It just slays! 🤘 One thing about placement of the picking hand, Gojira has a song called Magma where they are moving the picking hand up and down to play pinch harmonics; gives it a really cool effect.
🤘
A song called peephole by System Of A Down has ONE pinch harmonic in the solo. It'll take me a while to get this in the bag, but I really enjoyed your video. You were very specific about the guitar pick part and I really appreciate that.
🙏🤘
Thanks for this I’ve been struggling with pinch harmonics for so long.. i subbed also 🤟🏻
Thank you for the sub! Yeah, I'll be honest, I'm still a hit or miss on these but certain guitars/pickups do help!
Love your content. TY
🙏
Great lesson. PS: I don't know if its just me but you go that God of WAR Kratos vibe
I've gotta go check that out cause I've never seen it!
I was hoping you would make this video
I've had so many ask for it and don't know why it took me so long to get this out there!
@@jasonstallworth i can do a pinch harmonic but it is not like a loud squeal like you do it, its more like the guitar hero failure sound
@@MFinGonzo I should have talked about types of guitars, pickups, and gain and such...I may need to do a Part 2 to this!
@@jasonstallworth lookin forward to it! Yeah sometimes when you know something it seems obvious to you but a beginner is clueless!
I was getting great pinches with one amp and another sucked I'm thinkn to back off the gain and boost my input signal I have the technique down but this other amp I'm finding it difficult
Yeah there are a lot of factors but I would definitely try with more gain
@@jasonstallworth yes sir amp vol, preamp vol, input volume and gain I'm going insane hhhha🤟🤟🤘🤘
Jason I get what you talking about playing from one guitar or another, I just go a new schecter reaper and the satin finish feels much different from my Ibanez, Jackson or even my Gibson SG. Also harder to play any guitars with torn rotator cuff and arthritis on my left thumb. The crap we have to put up with age and abuse in the gym.
Ouch, dude, sorry to hear about the injuries! Yeah, I have to be super careful these days and lift with more controlled reps. I was never super strong anyway but I have hurt myself more than once!
the low E is the hardest one for PH, any tips/ tricks ?
Just keep practicing until it becomes natural to you
Hopefully when I get a shred guitar that’s not out of whack like my LTD I can do some great pinch harmonics stuff and some great shredding. Thank you for this lesson and hopefully soon I have a good instrument to do all that crazy stuff on.
🤘
Cool cool thanks
Glad this helped!
Me: Why am I not working on my guitar course? Oh something I may not use yet but I'd like to know this. Lol.
In my world that means I am procrastinating with your course by watching your YT videos. Lol.
Bahaha! Get back to working on the course, dude!!
Awesome video J! What size pick do you use? I use 1.5 and 2.0 mm. 😇😎🎸🍺🍺🍺👍
Dude, I use .73 most of the time. I've tried thicker picks but those just don't work for me.
Very cool 🤟🤟🤟
🙏 🤘
Your background is super neat. And this is exactly the video I needed. Trying to learn techniques to the puzzle for me that is getting better at guitar! Thanks
Thank you....this is a little different from most of my videos. It's just the other side of where my studio desk is!
Thanks for the lesson. I am another one of those 2/10 players. Going to practice your tips.
Awesome and I really hope this helps you!
what is the best pedal for pinch harmonics?
I don't believe you need any specific pedal for pinch harmonics. It does help to have the gain up but it's more in the technique over the amp or any pedals.
