Rockstar Electric Guitar Harmonics

Learn a super cool trick for electric guitar in this quick lesson! Joe Satriani was who I first heard play it, but I'm sure other guitarists used it before he did. It sounds loads harder to play than it is!

How to Play These Rapid Harmonics

Rest one of your fingers lightly (very lightly!) on the A string at fret 5. Then start picking the string quickly, as seen in the video tutorial. You should hear a harmonic. Then start moving your finger towards the nut. The sound will change! You can run your finger between fret 5 and frets 1.2-1.3 (imagine there was a fret between frets 1 and 2), and you'll get this strange but awesome harmonic sound.

🧐 What happens if you switch strings? Interesting...

Have fun playing around with this cool rock trick :)
