Pinch Harmonics

Al Joseph

Here's a little fun technique I use to add a bit of spice to my playing. This technique is essential in adding that modern metal tone to your lines. If you want to sound like Greg Howe, Joe Satriani, and John Petrucci, then pay close attention! I can't stress just how important it is that you practice your pinch harmonics while playing your favorite lines. In this tutorial, I'm going to provide you with 5 different situational lines in which you'll encounter pinch harmonics! Good luck, AJ
