Members AndyVengeance Posted February 23, 2010 Members Share Posted February 23, 2010 weird i know.. but pinch harmonics used to be a breeze. it was like they screamed out of my guitar. now my tone is great and all but when i play a pinch harmonic they just seem impossible to come out. the harmonic just sounds dead. could this have to do with my guitar maybe needing a set up or something?

Members hllraiser Posted February 23, 2010 Members Share Posted February 23, 2010 you just have to find the sweetspot try up and down the string until you find it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Spike Li Posted February 23, 2010 Members Share Posted February 23, 2010 Could be a number of things: Old strings, Fret buzz deadening the harmonics, Different guitar?Different techniqueDifferent EQ settings can make a differenceWorn pick ...thats all i got Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Different technique Different EQ settings can make a difference Worn pick ...thats all i got Spike has pretty much covered the bases, maybe try adding more gain, or an overdrive pedal until you get them back again. I find it's easiest exactly halfway between the pickups, others, just over the bridge pup. But more gain should help you get back in the swing of things. and using the bridge pup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members metalheadUK Posted February 23, 2010 Members Share Posted February 23, 2010 Possibly think about raising your action a tad. A higher action makes for easier squealies. Zakk agrees with me, and he knows his pinch harmonics! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Shenaniganizer Posted February 23, 2010 Members Share Posted February 23, 2010 So what would happen if someone had bad fret buzz, dead frets, a generally {censored}ty setup, little to medium-leveled gain (or none at all), and a worn pick.. and STILL nailed pinches, all God damn day? Would that make HCEG implode? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would that make HCEG implode? It would cause a rift in the time/space continuum and may actually cause a black hole, which could cause the entire HCEG forum to be sucked down and compressed into the point of singularity. Time would stop as we know it, and the pinch harmonic you just squeel-ied would ring forever. Rock on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Shenaniganizer Posted February 23, 2010 Members Share Posted February 23, 2010 That's {censored}ing intense. Rock on, indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
