Dont leave the thumb on the string- this will just mute and deaden the note. Though distortion helps- you can also do this technique on an acoustic, so it is very doable

I use my thumb combined with the pick but of course I don't leave it on the sring, it's just a little touch. Everyone has already said that more distortion will make it easier but it also has to do with your neck lenght. The easiest "natural" harmonics are on the 5th, 7th, and 12th fret. Now when you press 12th fret, your AH will easily come out if you pick on the 24th fret. Becauce you don't really pick on the 24 fret, try counting 5 or 7 more and you'll get some results. On my guitar they work the best if I pick between the neck pickup and middle puckup. From here you can get the idea about the rest of them. You don't need to be extremely precise about this but the closer you are to the right fret, the cleaner AH will come out.
Also if you tune your 6th string to drop D, it's very easy to get AHs on that string. Think of Zakk Wylde, he does it all the time. -------------------- Check out my <a href="https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/instructor/Emir-Hot" target="_blank">Instructor profile</a>

As everyone said, the thumb should touch the string and let it vibrate the harmonic, so no muting with the thumb if you wanna produce the sound.
Try experimenting on different positions of the string, pick on one string horizontally left and right, and you will find a couple of nice sweet spots for AH. -------------------- - Ivan's Video Chat Lesson Notes HERE
