See, i wanna be able to do those freakin cool harmonic squeals like pinched harmonics that zakk wylde and my all time fav, dimebag darrell(R.I.P) were the absolute gods of... i've tried the various recommended techniques like only allowing da barest hint of the tip of my pick to protrude and digging into the strings hard so dat the string bounces of the pick into my thumb, but still no squeals!!.. i've tried the 'hotspots', ie... 3rd, 7th and 12th frets but still nothin... could it be the settings of my amp?? i heard using alot of gain and volume as well as reverb help, but all i get is a hell of a racket esp when i turn the gain up, i'd prob go deaf in 3 seconds. little help from anyone??

A mm up or down can make a huge difference. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

I can do it when I really want to, but not when im soloing quickly and feel like it:P still need prac You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.
