Harmonics and Tapping?

Question

Pretty much self explanatory:

i can't do harmonics and tapping on my electric guitar and i have no idea how. the explanations on the web are very complicated and i don't take lessons.

so i was hoping i could find help here.

Answer 1

Harmonics are easy, I just figured them out myself and I'm not a very technical guitarists.

touch your finger to the string, but don't press it to the fret. Now pluck the string, and release the finger. Pingggggg!

I won't tell you where on the fretboard to find it, just try it up and down the neck until you hear it. Discovering them is half the fun.

The A string is very friendly to harmonics, give it a try.

Answer 2

natural harmonics? try the frets that have the dots (just a clue)

pinch harmonics, not quite so simple there but here goes:

Pick and thumb at the same time around the same frets as the natural harmonics occur, then give the string a bit of a bend up. It helps to have the gain and volume turned up to 11.

just have fun, it'll come to you!
