The edge of U2 uses them to good effect in my of his tracks. Now for artifical harmonics they can be a little trickyer! I used to be able to nail these pretty easy on my old guitar, but on my new one im find them a little more tricky. The idea here is that you fret a note with your fretting hand as you would normally, and when you pick the note (with a downstroke) you dig you thumb in a little. If you do a search gabriel and pavel to name a couple have done lessons which use this technique! They sound great to add edge to your playing !:) Hope this has helped a little.

Andrew has some stuff on that in his section. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

This way all the instruments have their own "sound" - because of these tones. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!
