Hi Lian

I am tracking your How to Riff series one right now. Both you and Gabe pull off some great pinch harmonics on the low E. I am using your RR L6 patch and get squeals almost anywhere except the low E and A. Got any tips?

cheers man smile.gif

Yes, I am. Why?

well, if you get the P.H. on the rest of the strings, you should be able to play´em on low strings. try different positions between bridge and fretboard. also practice moving a little your thumb.

I do sort of get one on the low strings. It just sounds more like I flubbed up tho. tongue.gif Never has the same sound quality, kinda muted sounding.

Well, I'm loaded top to bottom with Dimarzio! Must be technique. Have to keep plugging away.
