You can find a few lessons featuring them, but I'm not 100% sure we have any that actually show precisely how it's done. The most obvious to learn from might be Lian, as his method is extremely hard to miss; it's a very deliberate motion. In a nutshell, you allow a light touch of your thumb on the string you're picking just after the pick has struck. If it's done at one of the same places you'd find natural harmonics (on the fretted half of the string scale) then you'll hear these particular harmonic overtones. One the bass strings, with high gain and drive, it really gives that metallic whine/squeal. Some guys discover these by accident when picking really heavily, not realizing they've grazed the string with the thumb (or other fingers if you're careless).

Just make sure you angle your pick and hit the string with your thumb straight after picking. It's one of the few things on the guitar you can't learn with a metronome, so just sit down and try and get one for a while (G string is probably easiest). Once you manage one it will be a lot easier. There is a way you can get a kind of high pitched squeal with vibrato though. Try doing a really fast quivering vibrato. You can get a kind of cool feedback sound like that. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

A wide vibrato works for me in the same vain, plus it gives a cool Zakk Wylde sound - undeniably one of the masters of the technique.
