I have seen this little trick more and more in your playing Gabriel - it's adds such an aggressive tweak, thanks a lot for showing it to us!

I still haven't a clue how to do pinch harmonics. I can do them a little bit, but it sounds absolutely nothing like the way your doing it.
I'm hopeless

Is it just me or are the e and E string the hardest ones to makes artifical harmonics? It sounds nice on all string except those 2.

This lesson is awesome !Thanks for that Gabriel! Only now, I realise how many other guitarists, next to zakk wylde, make use of this technique. A great example is the famous riff in ain't talking about love by van halen !
But I do also have difficulties producing AH of the 2 lowest strings as Davidian posted! How come? The others work out so well...

Gabriel comes through yet again. I have got to say, it's great that you take the time to shoot the lesson from so many angles. It really does make a big difference. I've never been able to pinch harmonics so now I'll sit down for a few hours and work through this lesson of yours and see if that changes.

Holy cow, I actually did it. Repeatedly. The E strings are both damn near impossible for me just now, but the other strings are all do-able. A is pretty tough, I'm only getting it right about half the time and my AHs don't sound anywhere near as good as Gabriel's, but I'm happy!
I found that it makes a big difference where abouts on the string you actually pick. On my Strat, set to the neck pickup, I noticed that the sweet spot for the A and D strings was just above the middle pickup. The G and B were right over the middle pickup. There must be some way to estimate where abouts on the string the note lands.
I also noticed that there are more than one place on each string where you get a good harmonic, but that each of the spots results in a different note. So an AH on the D string up above the middle pickup results in higher pitch note than just above the bridge pickup.
Anybody else notice this?

Very good analisys Lurgen! Many guitar players try to reach a scale note when they do the pinch harmonics. Zakk Wylde is only interested in getting strong harmonics and sounding very noisy. at lights end: Yes. it's addictive. Even more if you have the gain in 10 and the treble in 7. gabriel.-

OK, found another potentially useful detail about pinch harmonics out this morning - if you happen to be playing a Strat, don't use one of the in-between pickup selections. Set it to use just one pickup.
For ages, I was trying to do these with my Highway One, which I almost always leave set to neck+middle. Then yesterday when I found this tutorial I grabbed my 57 re-issue which doesn't have the in-between settings and suddenly I was up and running. Obviously, Gabriel can take 90% of the credit but the pickup selector makes a difference. I grabbed my Hwy1 this morning and couldn't get a single solid harmonic out for the life of me. Then I flipped back to the neck pickup and bam - there they were.
So neck pickup only guys, at least to get going.
Techie bit, ignore if you like: Once I worked out what was going on I realised that two pickups means you have to find a point on the string where both pickups get a harmonic at the same time, significantly reducing the number of places you can strike the string to get one. There has to be some way to calculate these points, but I'm stuffed if I can do the math.
Oh, and my wife, my cat and my neighbours are looking for you Gabriel... and they don't look happy.

Again, another cool lesson dude. So u used a Vintage Electric amp with gain on 10 and treble on 7. Any other effects in the signal chain? What about for ur rock style lessons like Pentatonic Rock Cliches, same setup just different amp settings? You always have great tone and I am wondering where it comes from...

Great stuff, reminds me of Van Halen too...
Just a note, people with single pick up guitars, try something with hum buckers: I dunno maybe it's just me, but my Gibson with hum buckers makes his lesson a lot easier. Could be I just need more practice =)
