Jeff Beck is somehow able to play loud, ear piercing harmonics on seemingly any fret, even very low frets. At least it looks that way when watching him perform. I'm only able to get clean sounding harmonics on higher frets on the guitar. What can I do to improve my technique and make my harmonics sound like Jeff Beck's? |

I also can't say for sure but it might be false harmonics. Fret any place on the neck, count down twelve frets towards the bridge(or nine, or seven, you get the idea), and try to do the harmonics. This way, you CAN do them on any fret. Beyond that, hopefully someone else can help. |

In general, it comes down to three things, mainly playing, but also it has to do with the quality and setup of your guitars, your amp and effects chain are also very important in achieving a better array of harmonics. As far as bettering your technique, i'd say just keep working on it, and it will come. Properly set up guitars should be able to produce three or four different pinch harmonics on each fret and string (based on where you make the pinch). For instant gratification, use the bridge pickup and crank the gain up. |
