well, don't know the right word for it..but it's on guitar...it's a high sound...u mostly hear it with death and thrash metal..it's like vibrato but sounds very different...so does anybody knows how to play it?cause I was playing last day and I just played that sound...but don't know how....

Did it squeal?

PlayMetal - November 24, 2005 07:15 PM (GMT)
yeah something like that

Im pretty sure its the same way as pinch harmonics. But i need to know what string it was played on

E
B
G
D
A
E

Which one?

PlayMetal - November 24, 2005 07:29 PM (GMT)
I think I played something like this:

E||------------------|
B||------------------|
G||------------------|
D||------------------|
A||------------2-3---|
E||--0-0-2-3-------3-|

so it was the E and the A...the last two notes

pinch harmonic.... kinda like the sound you hear on cemetary gates go to the topic on master of puppets

hmm..it's easy with a solo on the 17th fret...but I can't play it on the 3rd..guess more practice....thx

Its not pinch harmonic its something else i forgot the name. I wanted to learn it to

my friend was doing something that sounded like a harmonic... but it was feedback from when he muted the string...

Hey, I think I know what you mean. Divebombs, right? Where you get tons of feedback and just plunge into it with the vibrato stick.

I want to learn that too. Anyone got a clue what I'm talking about?

Haha no i dont. I know you gotta have the gain/distortion cranked like fuck but never heard that term before (Divebombs)

I always thought a divebomb was when you did a pinch or natural harmonic and you release the tension of the string with the trem bar so the note lowers in pitch

I though tit was just playing a couple notes then realeasing tension.... maybe thats why I cant do them... its a pinch harm thats bombed... holy fuck, I guess kirk does em with a combo of pinch harm, wah, and trme bar... silly me, lemme google dive bomb
