Want to know how to play pinch harmonics on electric guitar? Let's look at the techniques you need. It sounds easy when you break it down but does take a little while to get the hang of.

The basic technique for getting pinch harmonics is striking the string with the pick and your thumb, sort of at the same time (at least that's what it feels like). This sounds easier than it is! Don't be frustrated if your pinch harmonics a little inconsistent to start with...with practice you'll get those 'squealies screaming'!

1:40 Pinch Harmonic Tips

1:45 Try picking along the length of a string playing a pinch harmonic. Notice how they come out a bit easier at some points than others. If you target these 'sweet spots' it can help you to learn the technique. Notice where these areas are and hit the string there when you want one! As a guideline, around the neck pickup area on your guitar is often a good spot to target.

2:45 Pinch harmonics are possible with a clean sound, but they're much easier to get with a distorted guitar sound. Crank up the gain a little and use your bridge pickup to make them easier.

3:15 If you just play a pinch harmonic then it doesn't sound like much...but add some vibrato or a bend and they come to life. So think about how to 'manipulate' the harmonic - this is the secret to getting awesome sounding pinch harmonics in your licks and solos!
