TylerT27th March 2009nice! tight sound
thefireball3rd May 2011I have always been amazed at people who can produce PH that sound like that one at 0:16. It's so brutal! I'm working on being able to do that.
- thefireball3rd May 2011
LOL. Never mind. I just now did the high pitched PH. Just moved closer to the bridge. Now to perfect it!!
- Ivan Milenkovic3rd May 2011
Regarding PH topic:
Every guitar has a different spot (somewhere above pickups) where you can produce pinched harmonic. It's just a matter of finding that spot on your particular instrument and practicing a bit on slower tempo. Best PH tone quality can be achieved with downstroke, so practicing lots of downstrokes will help in creating various interesting PH licks.

Hi mates and welcome to my new lesson! After jazzy lines which we played last time, today it is time to rock! I wrote those few riffs in the style of modern prog metal bands like Symphony X which I love. So, we are focusing mainly on a rhythm guitar with a little solo lick so that it won't be boring.
We are going to use:
- dropped D riffs,
- palm muting,
- alternate picking,
- pinch harmonics,
- vibrato
I used D minor pentatonic scale.
This is the preset I used for the POD XT live for this lesson:
Amp: MS Line 6 Big Bottom Drive 7 - Bass 5 - Middle 7 - Treble 6 - Presence 5
Cab: 4x12 2001 Treadplate
Dly: Delay Time - 90 (8th note) - Mix 20%
The lesson is available in the guitar pro 5 file, mp3 backing tracks included.
Have fun! :)
Piotr
