I've seen a few lessons with some nice tones. But when playing I see I'm not getting the right tone out of my guitar.
http://www2.guitarmasterclass.net/solo-gui...e-intermediate/ On the first page of this lesson you bend the G string. You've get a rocking sound out of it. As if the guitar is shouting  .When I try this, I just hear a bend... can you explain me how you get this screamy sound? (I can simulate this sound a bit if I put my plectrum to the string when I've just picked it. But that's not the way to do it). Can you explain how to do it, or do I need another preset on my Pod to do this? (I use a Pod X3 Live and Ibanez S series 470 or 320) Gm Gm/F E ||--------------------------|--------------------------| B ||--------------------------|--------------------------| G ||--------------------------|-------------------<>3--| D ||--------------------------|--------3----5-----------| A ||--------1----3br---1-----|--/5------------5--------| E ||--/3-----------------3----|--------------------------| The bold one in the picture above is the one I'm strugling with. -------------------- Can anyone rate me?

Thats a pinch harmonic. You have to sort of turn the pick at an angle and hit the string with your thumb at the right time.
Probably not the most indepth explanation though  Edit: Sorry, didnt notice this post was in the Muris section.. hope you and Muris dont mind me answering first

No worries Trond,help is always well appreciated!
Yeah,that'd be pinch harmonic. Unfortunately this lesson isn't about pinch harmonics so I haven't explained it but there are few lessons about it here at GMC,use search engine to locate them. Here's my quick explanation of it. An example,hit open D string and then touch it slightly on 12th fret. You'll get harmonic. Pinch harmonics work in similar way. You hit the string with the pick and right after that you touch it with your thumb,side of it. But one thing is important,those are not 2 movements,just one with two actions inside, plucking the string and then touching it with the thumb. It needs some practicing tho but work hard and you'll get to it!
