Ok,how the fuck should i play this ?

you have to , vibrate the string with your left hand an at the same time pick tight with your guitar pick,

Pinch harmonic?
During the solo?

During the solo.(i think)

Yeah pinch harmonic.

Ill outline it, you play a note around 12 on one of the bottom strings (best ones to solo with) and hold the guitar pic close to the end then pick the string while pressing down the 12th fret and as your thumb goes down it should mute the string making a sound.

I dont think that helped so here some tutorials for it... annoying to learn from words tho.

This may be a stupid guestion but..Is Artificial Harmonic same thing as Pinch Harmonic,or different ?

Well i dunno which part of the song you mean.


To get any harmonic press your finger lightly over a fret, the 5th fret works perfect to test. But i dunno, maybe listen to janez see as he listens to metallica more then me

yes its same

Pinch/Artificial Harmonics are basically done by doing a "follow through" with your thumb when you play a note. It's like when you throw a baseball and you follow through with your hand. Instead of just picking the string, allow you thumb to continue the motion so it grazes the string just after you pick it. It works very well from the 4th, 7th, and 12th fret.

it also works really great on 1st fret

Ok to do the pinch harm for mop solo... I think it is the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th fret on G... Ok anyways to do the pinch basically like they said when you pick the string flick the pick so your thumb brushes over the string... Anyways... If you own a wah wah pedal, use it for that part, if you push it down it willl filter the lows so you will get a nice loud high pinch harmonic...

Ok your the 3rd person to explain it haha

well Im just helping him...

like other 2 :laugh:

why are some of you making the thing harder. :no:

its just

you have to vibrate the string and hit the string with the very end of your pick and your thumb helps you there

no big deal

No janez we are not making it sound hard.

Fuck vibrating the string the hard part to master is the thumb following after the pick to deaden the string

Like I said use a wah pedal... A- you make the pinch harm louder and higher by filtering lows,
B- you can cover your mistakes by rocking the pedal back and forth... kinda like Kirk Hammett

for some players vibrato is hard thing to do

Yeah but you should master the pick/thumb thing first, them add whatever you like to it

me? no, i can do that solo, im just saying as overall

Do not know this solo but in regards to artificial/pinched harmonics i always found the thumb thing a bit confusing. I can do artificial harmonics no problem what so ever but when i was learning it always confused me when people said to follow through with the thumb. I found it easier to attack the string a bit more agreesivly and the thicker part of the plec. Hey but thats just me!

Thanks alot guys.

I dont know maybe fuct you should record yourself doing it, I learned by a friend showing me, and this kid prolly doesnt understand anything were talking about...

Definitely. It's the real way to do it, and you don't need any extra equipment for it. You can do it whenever you want.

well i hit the pinch harmonic about 7 times, i bend the 1st 5 times and vibratio the last 2.
yes its the 4th fret on the G string, is easy as hell 2 pull off there
