Favorite pinched harmonic!

[Anonymous]

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.

3:38 in evolution is a kick ass one!

Riverside - Stuck Between 2:31

without question.

Death - Spirit Crusher

The last note played in the song.

Evolution, when Romeo's playing the main riff right before the last chorus. PERFECT!!!

Inferno(Unleash the Fire) has the best one easily. Its a classic part fo the song. Around 0:49 in the song. Its just the verse riff.

i always loved the riff in No More Tears, Ozzy.

i also love the two consecutive pinches in This Godless Endeavor by Nevermore just before the start of the first verse.

I agree on both counts.

The one from children of bodom's kissing the shadows that keeps popping up is a killer. VERY nice .

Engines of Hate - Nevermore at 3:40, there are 4 in a row. Badass.

The god of pinched harmonics was Dimebag, he was the god anyway...

I'm not an expert in the field of guitar techniques, so I can't really identify what's a pinched harmonic and what's not, but Alex Lifeson does some really whacky stuff with artificial harmonics on the "Power Windows" album, especially on "The Big Money" and "Middletown Dreams".

 

[Tubbs]

Well, a pinched harmonic sounds like a squeal, an artificial harmonic sounds kinda like... not squealing. I cannot explain it at all.

*Natural* harmonic sounds more ethereal. I can't really explain it better than that.

EDIT: I meant natural, not artificial. Artificial = pinch.

 

[Tubbs]

Sounds like a good enough explanation to me.
