How to Play Harmonics

How to Play Harmonics

Harmonics are one of the best things you can do on a guitar! Few instruments can provide such an unusual but musically useful technique. With a little practice, they’re pretty easy to play and produce a beautiful chime or bell-like tone. If you’ve ever heard a guitarist suddenly play these high bell-like sounds while just barely touching the strings then you have heard harmonics.

Harmonics can be utilized in several very musical ways. This lesson covers how harmonics work and how to play natural harmonics, false harmonics, and harp harmonics, in addition to giving you several great licks to use along the way.- Steve Krenz
