Some of my favorite harmonics are located between frets. There are two really cool ones between the 2nd and 3rd frets that I use a lot.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The easiest place to get a natural harmonic on any string is at the 12th fret. All you do is lightly rest one of your left-hand fingers on a string directly above that fret and then pick it.
When I first started experimenting with harmonics, I'd sometimes hook up two distortion boxes just to get my strings 'frying,' which helped bring out the harmonics.
Harmonics are vibrations a fraction of the length of the vibrating string, which add higher-pitched and more complex content to the notes. With a dull instrument, the harmonics die out, but with a sustaining instrument, the harmonics continue to sound along with the fundamental note.
I've been devoting quite a bit of my time to harmonic studies on my own, in libraries and places like that. I've found you've got to look back at the old things and see them in a new light.
The way I play, I go through a set in a year. So I put '58 Gibson Jumbo Bass frets on all my necks.
I use some pretty radical harmonics at the beginning of 'Heresy.'
As a musician, I hear the harmonic value of everything - I just enjoy music.
Historically, the notes of scale systems anywhere have been based on these pure harmonics.
I love the subtlety and tonal range of the acoustic guitar.
I enjoy having some boundaries to work within. That's why I generally don't like alternate tunings and stuff like that. I like the boundaries of regular tunings.
