It's important to be able to grab the pinch on the run and this will help you do it!! Players like ZAKK WYLDE are masters of the Pinch. He can grab a pinch harmonic at any time at any place on the neck. It's very important to be able to hit a pinch without having to stop, change hand positions, make the pinch, and then start moving again. This drill will help you be able to hit them on the fly!!! 69.gp5 ( 1.83K ) Number of downloads: 53 BACKGROUND / COMMENTS: This is not hard once you give it a few reps. Give it a go!

You may have noticed they are often harder to get on the wound strings compared to the unwound strings. Your timing is good here, form is good as well, it's all there! Also, I liked the improv at the end! Very nice touch for a good take on #69. This means of course that you just... LEVELED UP!!!!! You remain our TOP DAWG in Quick Licks!!

Playing pinch harmonics on various strings can be tricky work indeed. Some folks never quite get to grips with it. I'm glad to say it looks like you have come to grips with it just fine The wound strings are more tricky to get a pinch on but that doesn't seem to slow you down You just LEVELED UP!

Muted for the notes in the scale bit, then full vibrato and unmuted for the pinch harmonic. It's the difference between the muted notes and the unmuted pinch squeal with vibrato that makes this work. It's very similar to what one might play in a solo. A few chunky notes and then a big squeal. This requires good vibrato to work properly. otherwise, the lick just doesn't sound very good. Tepid and shallow vibrato doesn't go well with pinch harmonics. Very good execution here. You just.. LEVELED UP!!!
