Pinch Harmonics with a Pick Clip

[Chethan]

Hey Chris,

I just made a pick clip by gluing a thumb pick with a Dunlop tortex sharp pick. I am pretty happy with it.

I was just wondering if you could play pinch harmonics/ squeelies while wearing it.

I've also been picking a bit deeper and scratching my bridge pickup especially when i have to strum and play riffs. Is there any solution to avoid doing this?

Thanks
Chethan

hey,

I did the same thing myself!! Not really possible to play pinch harmonics properly when using it. Not sure if you know this but Chris actually designed a pick clip where you can attach/detach/reattach any pick you want in any position (giggidy) that you want. And I'm pretty sure it allows you to play pinch harmonics too, as far as I know they'll be able to buy from his website within the coming months.

If you're scratching the bridge pickup its probably because the picks just been glued a bit to far down the thumb pick, you may need to make another one or just gently take it apart and re-glue in a way that's right for you

Hmmm, I'm using thumb picks and they work well with pinched harmonics.

How's the glued pick working out for you? I've been thinking about doing that, but haven't gotten around to it. I feel like the pick would never be in the right place. I think I've figured out a way to "temporarily" fix a pick to cut off thumbpick to get the placement just right before permanently gluing it. Anyway, that may all be a waste of time now. I just noticed that chrisbroderick.com got updated... and now has a Store link... Hopefully, Chris's pick clip will be available soon...
