Pinched Harmonics (artificial)
Can anyone please help me with this. I dont know how to do a pinched or artificial harmonic, the sound is really cool and I have accidentally done it once or twice before. I just dont know how id did it, its so cool when it happens. Please help!!

You've gotta angle your picking hand so that your thumb hits the string after you pick it. It's something that comes naturally after you're pretty secure in your picking style - I mean, once it's a constant.

Try the 7th fret on the G string, and then pick up and down the string (around the pickups) to find the "sweet spots".
Like basics said, you need to hit your thumb on the string right after you pick it, but practice finding the sweet spot because it can be in a different spot for different notes.
After you find your sweet spot, youll be able to hit them more efficiently and more often.
If you check under Schmange's tricks, theres an article about pinch harmonics, I think.

Sometimes I hit notes only dogs can hear.

Cool diagram!
I made a massive posting on harmonics and all the different ways I know about playing them and practicing them. I hope this helps:

If I couldn't laugh at myself how could I laugh at someone less ridiculous?
