Do you remember your first time? Was it on accident? 🙃
I don't experience it for first time bro.. coz I don't have a guitar yet.. hmm pretty sad of my life..
I haven’t done one yet because I play acoustic and have only been playing for one year
Also can you do more tutorials
Nope it wasn't by accident, I just heared JP 10 years before trying to play guitar!
I remember my first time complete accident
The hardest guitar technique will always be finding a dropped pick
Getting a pic out of an acoustic
@@tracevideoproductions Jokes on you, I've mastered it after all those picks dropped into sound hole ;)
"well, I'm never finding that pick again!" -Stevie T
Pick are better at disappearing than cats !
@@_kqcper_332 Same here, sometimes it seems that every strum you do it goes there, at some point you just master it, but yeah, one day I found a pick that was inside my shoe, don't ask me
0:50 "We can all hit the pinch harmonics up here on the 12th fret"
Yeah ahah, sure we can!....
Oh man when I heard that I felt the same way. Glad Im not the only one
Yea I can't do it either
Totally feel ya man.
@N/A I can't
I can hit the ones around 1-5 but not on the 12th fret
As a lefty, I truly appreciate instructors that use "fret" and "picking" vs. "right" and "left" hands as they move through the lesson.
that’s how you recognize a professional
The hardest guitar technique is getting paid for playing guitar

As soon as i read Line 6, Glenn popped up in my head 😂😂😂
If you want to get pinch harmonics sounding good, I recommend using a jazz iii pick! They’re really easy to get pinched harmonics
what's the thickness?
Don't forget, everybody's fingers are different!
Jazz III picks are the ONLY picks for me lol, I seriously only ever use them and I genuinely can’t remember the last time I used something else.

DelusionalX2 I can’t Go back to normal ones
With Zakk, it's not just the harmonic itself but how cleanly and perfectly he inserts them and then goes back to the riff. Like with Miracle Man. That shit is crazy difficult and to me his most striking technique and what separates him from all others.
The hardest guitar trick is making a living playing guitar.

Amen to that brother!
I've been playing for over 25 years....... STILL haven't got paid..!! 😲
True that.
Nice blue heeler
@@chapinandersen Thanks, same to you! Best dogs in the world! 🤘😁
I remember accidentally doing it a million times, and always recognized it from heavier music. At one point I really wanted to know how to do it on demand but didn’t know the name of the technique, so I just looked up “metal squealies”... how articulate haha. I ended up finding some video talking about Pitch/ pinch harmonics. In my whole guitar learning journey, some things have come relatively easy or natural: I had no problem with dive bombing and catching the harmonic on the G string, I started bending before I even knew what it was, and fortunately I nailed pinch harmonics really smoothly. These are all tiny victories and they’re all the best parts about learning and playing and creating with guitar!
Ermmm I can do pinch harmonics on the thick strings at the top of the fretboard but not on the light strings on the high frets.
Edit: for anyone in a similar plight check out the replies to this comment, some people left very useful advice on improving.
Try angling your pick differently or moving it to a different spot on the string.
Just gotta find the spot. Keep working your way back and forth to find it. I actually learned in the higher strings before the thicker ones. You’ll get it.
Smame
I've found that there are 3 different "pinch locations" so to speak per string, they change a little bit per string and fret. the technique is exactly the same, you just need to move ya picking hand a little closer to the neck or bridge to find them. I've also found you kinda need to "dig in" a little more on the thicker strings but be a bit more gentle on the thinner strings. Hope this makes sense, keep at it man, you'll get it and when you do you'll be grinning like a Cheshire cat :)
Facts that's hard
Jim Root is a master of pinch harmonics on the E and A strings on the first 4 frets.
just listen to Fabuless. that solo is like 13 seconds of *whee whee werr whee* harmonics
@@jmannrock Or Listen to the Solo of Rose Red violent blue from Stone sour
@@jmannrock I didn't think he (Root) played on that record. Didn't Chris Martucci play lead on that song?
Jim Root wasn't on that album
@@jmannrock There are no pinch harmonics in the solo though
Zakk Wylde wants to know your location
🤣👍
😂
Bruh he is a master at those low harmonics for real.
I remember when I hit my first accidental pinch harmonic haha, except every pinch harmonic I hit is on accident! Great and very helpful video here! You definitely make Zakk Wylde proud!
Thank you for teaching us valuable stuff
I have a question
So I have an acoustic guitar and it’s from fender and inside it has a sticker that says the model is a CP-100 and then it says Parlour VSB but when I looked it up on the fender website nothing came up
So I found my guitar model and I was wondering if you’d review it here’s the link

No More Tears is good for beginners as it's at an easier tempo. But Crazy Babies from No Rest for the Wicked is the signature Zakk Wylde riff.
Crazy Babies was my first pinch harmonic. A tech at a local guitar store showed me how to do it properly after he modded my Strat to a Fat Strat
Luckily, my grandpa plays guitar, so when I asked him,
“How do you play a high note but finger a low note? Like, you play this note, but it sounds like this note?”
He knew what I was talking about and taught me about pinch harmonics.
I practiced my pinch harmonics by doing them over and over again on a clean setting, so that I had to hit it exactly right to get a sound.
No dude, the toughest technique is for me by far sweep picking.
Could not agree more! I find pinch harmonics easy in comparison!
Sweep picking is definitely way more difficult than this. But I find the hardest thing on guitar to be fast shred style playing where every individual note is alternate picked. At least with sweeping the left hand does a good amount of the work, but my right hand sucks so bad that it can never keep up with my left. It's kind of sad. I can hammer on super fast runs but I cant even play a 16th note shred lick at a decent speed.
@@swingonthespiral I feel you. Good coordination is difficult as hell. Add some string skipping and it gets even worse. I've been working on my alternate picking for the last year. There is some improvement but I still find it a bit underwhelming.
Hammers from nowhere i believe are much more difficult. But if you learn this technique, sweep will be second choice for arpeggios.
I can sweep pretty good but ive never liked my pinches
Insane mode on a line 6 will always have a place in my heart
*Zakk Wylde has entered the chat*
Lol!
Really appreciate your videos. Learn something new every time. Thanks and keep it coming
It was always hard for me to get the pinch harmonic right when trying to learn the main riff from Psychosocial by Slipknot. Also I think it's awesome that you mention Periphery. They have some great pinch harmonics in their music!
Have been here since u had 20k subs. You have come so long! Love your all videos ❤️
I really like your serious side and your stories. More of his format plz.
That riff in Lamb of gods 'laid to rest' is a great one to practice for that low pinch harmonic.
Just been having a go myself! It's annoying cos I can do pinches elsewhere, but hitting it on the 3rd fret of the lowest string is a challenge
It's a good thing you are so good at guitar.
Because of that, your mom was able to teach me this technique.
Thanks for your awesome videos.
The first accidental pinch harmonic that Kept happening was when I was messing around picking with a coin. The blunted edge made my thumb graze just right on a series of notes and I sounded awesome for 7 whole seconds!!! :D
That's super awesome , thanks for the lesson will sure try to learn this
2:20 if that is "crunchy", my name is chika chika slim shady
ROFL
Love your vids keep it up man
One of my personal favourite things to practice pinches was always arpeggiated chords in full pinch. I once played the entire rhythm section of pacabel's Canon in D in pinched harmonics
Hey I was just wondering when you started playing the guitar. Also I’d like to say you’ve been a great inspiration for me during the entire 3 weeks I’ve been playing the guitar. Keep up the good work!
Dig the billy corgan shirt. Also just moved to Nashville as well. Keep up the great content as always :)
I pinch the No More Tears harmonic all the time!!! E string second fret!!! Keep Rocking it out!!!
Great vid,keep up the good work
Gojira's ocean planet made me practice them for months back in '07 until I figured out pinches depend on position of attack on each string at each fret and each angle pinched, allowing different pitched pinches even when on 1 single fret. Practicing them was well worth the time spent.
I find the best sounding pinches being those where you actually do it "sloppy" or half-assed. The kind where you get the squeal but it's mixed with the regular string sound. It has a nice effect on the note and creates some interesting harmonic fight between the regular and pinched note. Don't really have an idea how it can happen.
You gotta go for a stronger attack but a light graze with the thumb. Doing it fast is easier.
Great to mention moving the pick forward n back to achieve more accents to the notes or note !!

Most full hearted laugh ever
Thank you for video Tlyer, I love your videos so much
You like TOP?🙃
@@SafaBoet yes 🤣🤣🤣💙
Love the Revv pedals!
I never realized this was such a difficult technique. I learned how to do pinched harmonics on the lower strings and frets. The most difficult in my opinion in hitting a pinched on the down turned 7th string and I'm sure it gets more difficult as you add more strings
Idk if u read u comments still but just wanted to let u know that u are my favorite music TH-camr and I have enjoyed everything...music really is win
Oh my gosh I am so glad I figured out this technique. The first time I saw one was when I was learning a Tool song and I had no idea how they made the super high note xD.
I always found it more difficult to do higher fret pinch harmonics rather than lower fret ones. I guess I'm doing it wrong!
Wassup Tyler. Love the videos 👍
Music is win,more like music is shred. Cool little insight ive always wondered how to get pinch harmonics to sound like that. I've never tried
A awesome song with pinch harmonics (that made me love it) is Welcome Home by Coheed and Cambria
Man, I love music, guitar especially. I would love to learn how to play. I don't even know where to start. Seems like there's just so much to it but I guess that's the beauty of it. Maybe I should start by getting a guitar eh? I love this channel already, I might give it a try!
Let's just say Gojira's Magma. I'm gonna leave it there.
Fucking amazing song for pinches, ocean planet was what made me practice until I had them down
Nice tone bro! 👍👍
guys This Dude are the best guitar teacher.. just looks fOR his channel!👍👍👍👍👍💪💪💪💪
A line 6 spider is totally a great amp to learn on, and you know what. I played my first gig through a line 6 pod and I fucking love my pod. Sound techs hate me but it sounds good haha
Honestly, I don't know if it's because I learned pinch harmonics on the thick strings or what, but I've always found that pinch harmonics are always easiest on the thickest strings. I've always had more difficulty with pinch harmonics on the higher strings. Might also have something to do with where the actual harmonics are located for the picking hand since I have to move my hand forward for me to activate a pinch harmonic on the high E or B strings.
A song that I would recommend for learning the pinch harmonics on the thicker strings (which happens to be the song that used to practice pinch harmonics) is the main riff of Duality by Slipknot. I would also recommend the pre-chorus to Dead Memories, again by Slipknot.
I'm agree ! When I wanted to play some songs from Van Halen, I wasn't able to do correctly the pinch harmonics on the 2nd fret on the B string, and I didn't understand why because I can easily do that on the frets after the 10th.
and sorry for my english -_-
@musiciswin was that the 'little crazy' by Fight lick near the beginning of the video??? i recognized it as soon as i heard it!
Classic Zakk has been my go to since 05..
Thank you!
No More Tears and Cemetary Gates are the two best songs to use. NMT is 3rd fret of the E, Cemetary is 7th on the A, 8th on the D, and 7th on the E.
Dethklok got me into those harmonics, now I keep doing them all the time
“We can’t all hit the ones down here at the thicker strings”
Excuse me sir, those were the first ones I learned to play and only ones I really do 😂
I never knew hot to do it thx tyler :)
As I like the video, what brings a tear to my eye is reminding myself how I've heard these "move your thumb" and did not understand what the hell is it that I am doing wrong, and than it just clicked ... so I guess some tries and it goes .. same goes for the spot you are picking to get the pinch. But yeah ... than I did not get it and felt like and idiot now i can land these pinches anywere at anytime XD
I do it differently I use my middle finger to initiate the pinch or “touch” on the strings I get 3 different squeals if touching in different areas near the pickups on the same fret
I can hit PH’s on the lower strings with ease.... am I a guitar God now?? Hahaha great video as usual Tyler. Oh, and I’m running an Epiphone Lester through a zoom G2 into a fender mustang 1, using a basic stock distortion patch.
I was wondering if you could maybe do a tapping guitare lesson, I think a lot of people would benefit from it...
your are so talented...please teach me
Nice job
It's beautiful
I love doin that. Such a pain to do pinch harmonics tho. U need distortion, and it’s a pain to find them because you gotta remember where you’d mostly get harmonics in the fretboard and if you want to get a harmonic from anywhere on the fretboard, it’s a different way to get it on different frets. This one Tyler is showin us here, is a thick boi. Lol. It’s like a Zakk Wylde style bend. Bending like 4 frets down and shaking the string a little and getting the harmonic to come out in the process it’s a fantastic sound but kinda hard to get
whats the thing at 1:19 called when hes doing the trills and he slides his fingers down making that sound
ive been trying to figure out for ages
i remember how fucking MYSTERIOUSLY HARD this was to learn lol but once i figured it out i was like ohhhhhh thats actually easy as hell. great vid man
That Black Star harmonics
Pinch harmonics came easy to me so far its sweep picking where I still throw my picks across the room
pinch harmonics are my favorite. I was trying to learn that technique over a intro of Psychosocial. 😂😂
D string. 2nd fret.
Thats where Heavy Metal comes from
Metalingus verse riff is a good one to practice too with a pinch harmonic.
I need that pedal!!
At the beginning I thought he was just talking about pinch harmonics in general and I completely agreed. I've no idea how to consistently make them sound right.
that sound is so bad ass!!!!
Duality and psychosocial was the first time I played a low end pinch harmonic. Pretty satisfying
That little dig at Glenn Fricker in the beginning
One of the hardest guitar technique was "dimebag"
But can you upstroke pinch?
I can sometimes. Couldn’t tell you any chords or anything outside pentatonics though
Dude, I started out on a Line 6 spider2, also 🤘 always on Insane lol
I laughed out loud when he went into the No More Tears riff, as that was my first time learning to hit the low pinch harmonics.
with the perfect effect...
Bending with vibrato was impossible for me for the longest time
But one day I got it and I've been doing it every day since never give up hope on a technique keep working at it and you'll get it
An easy song to get you into playing the lower pinch harmonics is duality by slipknot. It has 2 pinches in the riff amd its the main riff so its reoccurring.
Nice bro
Ooof this one definitely hits home for me. It's kinda funny, when I first started playing guitar I was obsessed with the stereotypical "All the GAIN" mentality and I used to think I was a god of pinch harmonics just from always having them ring out from sloppy playing and poor picking at unusable high gain settings, but when I actually tried doing it on purpose it never came out right.
I was riffing and trying to come up with weird sounds and I hit a pinch and it clicked. Still get chills when I use one
I'm actually completely reverse, I find it harder to do pinch harmonics on the higher frets rather than the lower frets...
Sick vid btw
thank you. I do pick harmonics is that the same thing.? I don't think I use my thumb when doing it.
Nice Yngwie nod on those open harmonics
I picked up guitar again last year and am having serious issues with pinch harmonics. I'm doing what appears to be the exact same thing you're doing, but just get a light muffled tone instead of an actual squeal. Can anyone help??
I can even do them on my acoustic guitars. You just slant the pick slightly and kind of dampen the string with your thumb :)
Spider amps are amazing for practice. Not live though. I love the sound of my spider iv 15.
My natrual position i hold my pick is wayy far up on the pick so my thumb is nowhere near the string. Would it be possible to use my palm to do what my thumb would do?
