Hey, I'm new to these forums and finally got the darned account working with much trouble. But anyways, I've got a question about artificial harmonics. I noticed that when I use my fingernail, I can produce an artifical harmonic that sounds pretty good. Does anybody know about this and is it a good technique?
Almost I'm curious as to how to make artifical harmonics on the low E string. I keep trying (using the pick and thumb method this time) but it never comes out as a squeel. Its always really low and muffled. The lead guitarist for the band I'm in was doing them with realative ease, making loud squeals, but I never got around to asking him how the hell he was doing it. I believe high distortion and and gain will help achieve it, but am wondering if anybody else knows how to do it.
