      harmonics are only in specific spots, the 5th 7th and 12th. however if you have capo on 2nd thread you could do harmonics on 7th 9th and 14th. that is +2. this way you can do harmonics on any place if you hold the thread 5/7/12 notes before. hope this helps

    What's the interval when you use the 7th fret distance on the artificial harmonics? The 12th fret distance is an octave if I'm correct, is the 7th fret an octave + a 5th?

    • @simon8126
      @simon8126 8 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      These harmonics can be hard to produce on acoustic, try picking closer to the bridge, higher string tension there can sometimes help the harmonics come out better.
      Also, you may want to try plucking the strings a little lighter, sometimes if you pick too hard, all you will hear is the percussive sound of the plucking motion, if you stick with it, I am sure you will get it in time, the same harmonics can also be found where the 24th fret would be, which should be just to the left of the middle of the soundhole (if you have a guitar with different sounholes, i.e. Ovation, you will need to experiment with finger placement), sometimes they come out better playing them there.
      Harmonics are one of those things on guitar that look easy but take a bit of practice to get right, as I am unsure whether you are new to harmonics or not, I will simply give you the advice I was given, via Guitar Techniques magazine, try to imagine that the fret/string is red hot, meaning that after touching it, you need to immediately remove your finger from the string to avoid getting 'burned', you can keep your finger there for longer if you desire a more percussive effect, but for the bell like tone illustrated here, you need to remove your finger immediately after playing the harmonic, so as to let it ring out clearly, one good thing is that if you can get good at playing harmonics on an acoustic, playing them on electric is so much easier, harmonics on electric, even unamplified tend to ring out more, which may be a scale length thing, plus you can get more harmonics on electric.
      Hope all this helps answer your problem. :)
