  1. You'll have a cock like a rhino if you keep using it for that. Use protection?
  2. Practice? What's that? I've been able to 'make it squeal' for over thirty years with no problem. All you have to do is hold the pick as close to the pointed end as possible and let the skin of your thumb and finger come into contact with the strings. And if you pick in between the pickups (on a two pickup guitar) or around the middle pickup (on a three pickup guitar) you'll find all the squeals you want. I never call it 'pinch harmonics'. I have my own terminology for the technique. I call it puttin' some skin into it or makin' it squeal, because that's exactly what I'm doing. Your description of your technique is amusing, therefore the best.
  3. Practice man... I did so many pinch harmonics in the 80s that now I can get them out of acoustics. Sometimes when I'm playing stuff I used to play back then, I'll inadvertently pinch them out of muscle memory even when I don't want to. Practice it is then. My Washburn seems to pinch alot better than my Strat, could this be because of the thicker strings? And about this screaming acoustic, that's something I'd be very interested to hear. Always been a fan of treating acoustics like electrics
  4. I'm using the glancing thumb approach, but it's really hit and miss. Is there anyway to guarantee that I'll get a nice squeal every time? OT: Sig'd by a Hall Of Fame Member? I'm honoured.
