How does Lifeson get the squeal sound halfway between a harmonic and a simple picked bend during a lead?

You do it by pinching the note as you pick it or just rubbing your thumb lightly on the string at the same time.
I'm pretty sure I uploaded something explaining this...just do a search for "pinch"... it's probably still there
