Harmonics are fascinating! I remember the first time I heard them, and wasn't long before I was working them into my songs. This lesson gives an overview for how harmonics happen and how to use them.

Slowed the video to 50% and worked it a measure at a time. Two weeks in and it's coming. Patience is the lesson here as much as the notes.

Try it without the pick for a few passes. Sounds silly but it told me my right hand was doing too much.

Don't force the pinky stretch. Move your thumb down behind the neck first and the stretch mostly takes care of itself.
