Favorite pinched harmonic!

[Horus]

I thought pinched and artificial harmonics are the same thing. Wtf? Are you talking about Natural and Artificial?

I would say that ph's are more crazy sounding. ah's are more plain, then ph's a lot of the time have crazy rapid vibrato or wide vibrato which is absolutely killer. If you were to compare it in a physical sense an ah would be like pushing someone, and ph's would be like giving them an almighty fucking shove so hard that they travel all the way round the world and hit u right in the back!!! Well the awesome ones anyway, lol.

I think artificial is the more correct term. Pinched tends to be more of a term used by metallers and alike, and in our genre we do them better than say a classical guitarist who would do boring harmonics, hence my previous explanation .

If this counts...

Eyes of Medusa: 4:42

I'm pretty sure that's a natural harmonic, although it's cool nonetheless.

I wasn't too sure. It's easy to locate the bulk of them, but this noise sounds a lot different. I'm a drummer, so I have an excuse, lol.

Evolution has some kick ass pinched harmonics in it!

Or how about The Attitude Song by Steve Vai...

Ok, we all know pinched harmonics are cool and they vary almost every time. I know it would be impossible to pick a favorite but we could just list them as we find them.

I'll start off with Awakenings at 3:39-3:40 approx. I think that one's really wicked.

Speaking of Awakenings, at 3:02, there's a sweet one - and right after one of my favourite parts in music of all time

vauxdvihl - the weapon - woah

Incantations 1:10-1:11 has two awesome ones. Love how they take you into the verse with no mercy

I've been addicted to the pinch at 3:48 in The Root of All Evil by DT. And Romeo in general has amazing pinch-harmonic-awesome-timing-sense, so most of his pinches I tend to find pretty friggin sweet.

What's this thing in "incantations of the apprentice" in the 2nd 2nd verse
during the "Lakes of Fire" part? I'm not sure but is this some harmonic stuff
as well?

No it's not harmonic, but it's cool as hell! I never noticed that before, holy shit that's fast! Sounds like legato on the lower octaves to me.

Didn't know exactly, since you can't hear it really well, at least I can't.

But it goes quite high then in the middle and I think thats some pinched harmonic stuff.

Yngwie Malmsteen - Krakatua. If you've heard the song you'll know what I mean.

 

[nckissfan]

Dave Gallegos in Power Of Omens does some nasty ones on the Rooms of Anguish cd.

also, that one in that Nevermore song mentioned earlier is fawking insane, makes me

 

[theVikingR]

Ark - Resurrection

the chorus ones ~ 1:00 and all the other choruses

 

[NegativeVolume]

Whoa, I already said the one in Root of All Evil. I definitely don't remember this thread, lol.

John Sykes puts about a gazillion in every song, whether it's Blue Murder, Thin Lizzy, or his solo stuff.
