Do you already know how to produce the Pinch Harmonic and it just sounds weak or can't you do them at all?
It takes a lot of practice to get them right and there is no shortcut to good technique but some things will help you:
-Use the Bridge pickup, preferably a humbucker. A high output humbucker helps too but it isn't neccessary...
-Use a lot of gain and a lot of treble on the amp
-Thicker strings result in louder harmonics
-Use fresh strings
-Once you hit the PH, use a lot of fast and wide vibrato to make the harmonics scream and squeal
Yep I know how to make PH, and it sounds weak :/
What do you mean about "Use the Bridge pickup", I don't see what you're meaning.
I'll put treble at 80%, is that correct ? (Low and Mid on disto pedal change some things or ?)
Ok, I should buy new strings so ^^
And yes for vibrato, I saw many times Lian doing vibrato as hell when he pinches
Thanks for that help man !
There are certain places on the string above the pickups that are sweet spots for PH. You gotta find those, and make sure you execute PH exactly there every time. On my guitar it's somewhere above the middle pickup, but you should investigate where it comes out the most. Plenty of overdrive, bridge pickup, and more top end on the amp's EQ should help accent the PH you execute.
Yeah, there are differents places, and it differs from each type of guitar (I mean Les Paul and Stratocaster for instance), does the place changes on each string ?
The above tips are all fine, and I'd like to add that there's also a difference in between the strings. I find them easiest to produce on the D and G string. B string is doable, high E is hard. It's almost impossible for me to get a nice harmonic on the low E and the A string is prety hard as well.
I agree ! Low E and high E are hard to make harmonics Oo
PS : @Damir I use approximatively 3mm of my thumb to make PH
