A pinched harmonic (also called an artificial harmonic) is created by lightly touching the string with your thumb or finger immediately after picking it, producing a ringing overtone that cuts through the mix. I’ll walk you through how they work, where to hit the string, and tips for getting them to sound clean and consistent every time.
Whether you play rock, metal, blues, or country, pinched harmonics can transform your tone and make your solos stand out. Perfect for both electric and acoustic guitarists who want to add more expression to their playing.
