Hi Trond,
I struggle getting pinch (artificial?) harmonics, I just don't seem to get that twist of wrist to achieve them, so I'd be very interested in a very basic lesson explaining how to obtain them. There is one interesting lesson about it by Pavel, but no matter how many times I've tried I don't get how to move the picking hand correctly to hit the string with my "thumb" or whatever the trick is. I'd need very close captures of the picking hand move, moving slowly to understand it. Hope you can makea great lesson about it! Keep rocking

It's not all about the right hand technique, you have to find a place on the string where the harmonics sound best. There are several places for good pinched harmonic sound, try different locations of the strings.

But I fail to actually produce the harmonic with my picking hand. I just don't see how to grace the string with my thumb while I pick, even though I think I'm doing it at the right place. These harmonics are tricky. -------------------- Guitars:
