Right, but Wylde plays pinch harmonic CHORDS, and thats where it gets difficult. My advice would be to practice on single strings until you can get pinch harmonics down good. Then add another string and to a 2 string p/h until you can do it good. Keep doing that until you can do full on chords in pinch harmonics.

The 2 most important things in p/h is the touching of the string, and the vibrato. The vibrato is extremely important because it sort of "carries" the sound through. You may be getting the harmonics right, but if you don't add the vibrato, you won't really hear it that great and you'll think that your not even doing the harmonic right, which you could be.
