guitar screaming
when I listen to metal and espesially children of bodom if you have heard them, they make this tricky screaming sound, can somebody pleas send me a video or just explain how to do it?

hey there, awesome band. I think the noise you are referring to is a pinched harmonic.
To do this, just hold your plectrum really tight, with only about 2mm sticking out, then as you pick, touch your thumb on the string...if you understand me...if not, look in this forum, on this techniques and style folder thing, I think there are maybe two or three threds dealing with the same issue.
Also, just search for it on the excersizes/tutorials on the main page here.

Actually Not Only Apinchharmonic But A Bend With The Harmonic. Usually B Or G String,give A Good Screem....

Yep, pinch, or artificial harmonics with vibrato.....That's Zakk Wyldes signature thing.

The pinch Andrew detailed is correct. Most guitars however have a "sweet spot" for each string, making this happen more consistently. This has to do with scale length, tuning pitch, and induced string pitch (tremelo and bends).
Fret a G string on the 7th fret for this example. Without bending the string or altering pitch with a tremelo, apply the pinch harmonic (as Andrew described) on different areas of that string over the body. Most strat style guitars will respond better with the pinch applied near the middle or neck pickup. LP's tend to respond better across the bridge pickup to near neck pickup. Find the sweet spot and these guys will show up much easier. You may find more than one area that responds as well. It all depends on your axe.
If you have a Floyd - Brad Gillis (Night Ranger), Joe Satriani, Via and others have used this effectively by combining left hand harmonics and pinch harmonics with tremelo bends (up and down). If you begin a pinch harmonic with the tremelo depressed (lowering the note) with the intention of raising the tremelo (climbing scream), this reduces string tension initially and may change the location of your "sweet spot" for that string (usually move closer to the bridge).
Experiment and *#@&ing rock!
