So i recently found this guy, and i'm in love with his tone and this is just the kind of music that i really enjoy playing, but i'm a little confused about his tone.
Cause it like screams alot if you can call it that, but i'm not sure if that is just how his tone is, or if he is doing alot of pinch harmonics ?
Cause at the same time i think it sounds more like a half pinch harmonic, it's not just a note, but it is not a full screaming pinch harmonic and it just adds so much to the song.

So can you guys clarify for me what is actually going on ? cause, atleast with my skills i can only make either a full screaming pinch harmonic or just a note with nothing.

Great tone for sure.
And +1 to Mertay's assessment.

The only thing I notice that I think may be a bit of recording 'trickery' is that the faster (Holdsworthesque) lines seem to have more gain and compression on them.

gain is way overdone these days and you can not get this with with higher gain .
You need as much gain as you can get without having to use a noise gate which is usaully in the 2 to 3 range , a drive in front of the amp ( low gain = high tone and level )will help bring out those notes >The sustain he gets if from aggressive vibrato against the frets and that is the majority of technique ( huge vibrato with out going out of tune )
