Here's hoping this "science minisode" thing continues. I haven't experienced math rock like this since Adebisi Shank broke up. Pythagoras would be proud.
Dude keep watching your videos and i have to say this one in particular has impressed me, your knowledge on this subject has completely changed my picking techniques. Thanks fella keep up the good work.
I already knew the heory, but decided to give the video a shot and I ended up staying thanks to your clear explanation and nice editing. Your channel has grown a lot, Colin, keep up with the great job!
Wow, thumbs up for this superb vid, Colin. Been wondering about this very topic for the last two weeks, my luthier, who had led me to this, failed to give me a valid answer and suddenly you come up with this brilliant vid! That's just synchronicity ;-) Thanks a lot for soothing my curious mind!
Love your videos. Learn something new every time, even if it's just clarifying something I already know. Thank you for all your hard work making these videos, and looking forward to more!
You are melting my brain Colin...please do some other videos other than your more recent complicated stuff haha as interesting as it is, I can only take so much
I had a Physics lecture recently on the exact same topic: harmonics, nodes, antinodes, fundamental, second harmonic, etc. Really neat, thanks for giving me a leg up Collin
Geez you’re a smart dude. As usual, a potentially complicated topic explained in a way that aging metal heads (like myself) can understand. Keep it up Colin, and Happy 2019!
This was great!!! Can we get another video like this explaining all the harmonics; especially ones associated with Dime's whammy dump/harmonic grad technique? From my understanding; he used pretty much the whole gambit of possibilities. I know that type of stuff is kinda played out, but I feel it would be useful when properly placed and not overused. Been watching your videos for awhile now... It has changed the game for me as a musician... I constantly get compliments on my tone now; even by veterans of the game. The way you broke down how all that stuff works from a technical perspective with visuals included just made everything click for me and allowed me to sculpt my own tone. Thank you so much!!! I've been meaning to write this for like around 2 years now....lol
Alright. Now THIS blew my mind. Why didn't I ever thought about it ? Thank you Colin, I hope you will forgive me for being so dependent of your intellect.
Colin: new subscriber here, can't wait to work thru your other vids & see more! Question: are those large wooden plaques hanging on the wall behind you acoustic room treatments? They look like a combintion of absorption/diffraction devices. Love the explanation of harmonics; I work with the same thing figuring out room nodes and speaker placements. Thanks!
The place you pick also changes the harmonics that ring out. Closer to the bridge emphasizes higher harmonics and picking closer to the 12th fret gives it less harmonics to ring out, so it kinda sounds like a sine.
Relative amplitude of the lower order harmonics is smaller closer to the bridge, hence why bridge pickups tend to be brighter and have a more complex sound, too.
@@EversonBernardes Yeah, pickup positions hears harmonics in the string differently. the lower the frequency, the more it will resonate in the middle of the nodes. I just think picking position is a slightly neat way to alter the tone of your strings as opposed to pickup positions. It's why guitar is so dynamic because of how we can manipulate how everything is executed.
Hey Colin, love your videos. Just one thing that I’m sure you already know, there are many more natural harmonics than just the four you mentioned, as any fraction of the string will produce a harmonic if struck with enough finess (the softer the flesh used, the less time spent on the string, the closer to the bridge the string is plucked, and any other measures that would invoke the upper partials including harsh nail attack etc). It’s just it becomes progressively more difficult to get the harmonic the more extreme the ratio. Certain scenarios, e.g. extremely high gain etc, can bring out very obscure harmonics in almost any position, which is why 80s metal style pinched harmonics work. Anyways, keep up the great content!
I've never really looked at your PRS because I've been gawking at your personal builds, but that is one sexy Singlecut (for a Northern Heathen at least).
Ah, if it only didn't have that ugly-ass headstock. Seriously, it totally ruins every PRS guitar for me, I'd rather get a Steinberger with no headstock at all (not saying I'm ever planning to) than this geometric abomination.
Have you come across many people using touch harmonics? Used more in violin/viola/cello/bass but i have seen it in some classical guitar rep too. Similar to pinch harmonics where you fret the note but you fret with your first finger and then you create the harmonic with your pinky finger. So for a touch 3 harmonic you would fret for example a G and then harmonic a M3 above that on the same string. Touch-4 = 2 octaves higher. Touch-5 = 2 octaves + major 3rd Touch 3 = Octave + P5
One thing you didn't mention, harmonics follow a series. You could try to play anywhere and potentially hit a harmonic node for instance the 9th fret and 16th fret which ring at a the same frequency as a 4th fret harmonic with a slightly different tamber because as n rises the space between harmonics shrinks both in pitch and physical distance between nodes meaning they are playable at more places on a given string like anywhere between frets 1 and 3 contains a harmonic that may be a little out of tune but if you overdub that with other harmonics from the same string it sounds more perfectly in tune than if you fretted the same chord
Someone already commented that it’s not true that natural harmonics can only occur in some places of the string-the example you played that sounded muffled still had a note, and with a little bit of effort you could probably let it ring more clearly. Also, check out Matthias IA Eklundh in his instructional videos pull higher and higher harmonics (seemingly unending).
Because A1 would be 55Hz, half the frequency of A2 (110Hz) These are standard note names in music tuned around 440Hz (which would be A4). The numbers differentiate between octaves; 110Hz and 440Hz are both A notes so we call them A2 and A4 respectively as they are two octaves apart. A full 88 key piano starts at A0 (27.5Hz), middle C is C4 and the highest note is C8.
I must admit, I subscribed 50% to you because of your accent. (Just subscribed today, your content are of course the other 50%). That feeling when you say "plug your A string" but I understand E string. My ear was confused, I had to listen 3 times to you to understand you meant the A string :D
Great vid. But from my experience harmonics can be played on several other frets, maybe even all of them, but the contact with the string would have to be really light and in place. A bit of distortion would help too. (It would make sense if these diagrams continued there would be small waves all over the fretboard)
@@luciansirbu1784 The SE SC245 is basically an SE Tremonti Custom. The difference? Hard tail vs tremolo respectively, and minor cosmetics. Personally, I recommend buying something witha hard tail. The SE tremolo just will not stay in tune worth a fuck. Period. End o fuckin story. It's not as bad as a F3nd3r but, it is noticeable. If you insist on buying a PRS SE with a Tremolo, just get the nut re-filed before leaving the store. Then, consider locking tuners or a full-blown Floyd. That being said, the SE SC245 has the hottest output stock pickups in the SE line. The SE Tremonti comes them as well. I immediately upgraded them to Tremonti USA signature pups and (for all intents and purposes), I basically have a USA Tremonti signature guitar now. Sonically, anyways. You might also look at the new for 2019 S2 Single Cut models. Some look pretty close to the core/SE shape. However, you're getting a cookie cutter body and neck with SE parts. I feel I have to stress and further explain that point: All S2 models have one standard neck profile across the line All S2s are cut in Maryland on separate machines from the core line, by different employees All S2s use SE components and electronics All S2s are assembled in America So, what the hell are you getting? An SE with a funky body shape for a higher price. Lastly, before buying PRS SE or S2, I recommend planning out what you want to do with it. My SE Tremonti Custom $800 Tremonti USA pickups $180/ea plus installation Total $1200+ Still need locking tuners which will fit the factory holes. PRS USA locking tuners are $200/set, and require drilling which could ultimately hurt resale value Entry level S2 $1200 plus "higher level guitar" plus "respect factor" Upgraded pickups $400ish installed Total $1800ish Used Paul Reed Smith Core line: as low as $2,000 in some cases Higher end S2 guitars are close to $2,000 plus upgrades which can bring you towards $3,000 if not more. Brand new Paul Reed Smith Core line guitars start around $3,000 When buying a guitar, the number one thing is neck feel, obviously. Everything else can be fixed. For a price. I think the second most important thing when buying a guitar is to consider its longevity. Not lifespan. Longevity. What do you want to get out of it? How will you get there? It's easy to say "I don't have $3,000 for a Paul Reed Smith so, I'm going to settle for a PRS SE. It sounds alright, I guess." Right there, you've doomed yourself. One way or another, you're going to spend more money. That is, until you decide "enough is enough, I'm just going to *live with it*." Again, doomed. Do I regret buying my Tremonti SE Custom? Ehhh... Not entirely. The bridge sucks and I might be ultimately forced to install a Floyd or trade up to a hard tail. But it sounds fucking tits. When it's in tune. I wouldn't record with it due to the fucking bridge going out of tune.
I played violin and finished music school, and on violin - any place on the neck has a harmonic! Later when I started playing guitar I was so bummed to find out that guitars don't have all the tones :/
The late great Lenny Breau was a master of harmonics. His exquisite technique involved fretting a chord lower down on the neck, and plucking a harmonic 12 frets above where he was fretting each string ( ruclips.net/video/qGCSgWqg0Fg/видео.html ). Most of us are used to pressing our fret hand lightly on the strings and plucking with our picking hand. So how do you produce harmonics when your fret hand is occupied? Breau would lightly press the tip of his index or middle finger on the string and pluck with the thumb of his picking hand As well, some locations on the fretboard, like the 3rd and 4th frets, can yield what might be termed "confused harmonics". Jeff Beck uses these to great effect. They seem to produce something other than a pure tone, and can sound almost ring-modulator-like.
It sounds like a pure sine wave (because that's what it would be). Like this, for an A3 (12th fret on the A string on a guitar, 14th fret on the G string on a bass): ruclips.net/video/uzfc67i7D-A/видео.html
Other harmonics will sound at if you crank the gain. 4th and 9th fret both sound a maj3rd. 2nd fret harmonics are cool Addendum: Oop, didnt watch the whole video. Glad you covered the maj3rd harmonic
You can produce harmonics all over the guitar, you just have to be a bit more rough with it. Strike really hard with your nails and lift off of the string immediately after.
When I originally saw your hand drawn sine waves on the first video, I thought it was cute, and wondered why you didn't use a vector graphics program to make nice smooth ones. I don't believe I commented on that one, though, so I thought I'd bring it up this time. Illustrator is where I toy with my guitar designs and it's great for doing stuff to dimension without going full CAD. It's great for making fretboards, scales, chords, circles of fifths, etc.

Fun fact: there are - theoretically speaking - as many points at which you can produce natural harmonics on a string as there are numbers (1,2,3,4,5...etc.). But at the same time there are even more points on the same string at which you can’t.

You seriously keep raising the bar, with no end in sight. Leave some jumping room for the rest of us! Best guitar based channel on the site.
Happy 2021 Colin. Thanks again for everything.
This was a very informative video, but all of your videos are informative. I've always been curious about harmonics.

One cool thing must be observed the notes are getting higher or sound get more bell like by upclimbing the frets
Jus reverse of the normal

Very good video as usual man.
How did I not see this video before!!! I wanted to know this since I heard natural harmonics!
Freaky - I was literally just asking this question and here's the answer in complete terms. Thanks.

Hi Colin. How do digital effects work? Why do some musicians hate even the thought of digital?
Do a video on replacing amp tolex/grill clothes?
I can literally feel my IQ rising whenever i listen to Colins lectures

Have you no mercy? Physics with a New Year hangover really isn't good!
The ending sums it all up with the finger on the lips....
i am thinking of buying a prs se standard, is it a good choice?
Go for it, they are great guitars for the money.
I agree.... Ive owned PRS se’s that I coyldnt tell much differences between them and more core PRS’s.... If you dig the neck profile, buy it!
I still can't decide between the 245 and custom 24, I like both

A C# E is A major, so one string is actually composed of a chord/triad
Fun fact: there are - theoretically speaking - as many points at which you can produce natural harmonics on a string as there are numbers (1,2,3,4,5...etc.). But at the same time there are even more points on the same string at which you can’t.
Also, because the sound gets simpler, a tuner is more accurate when you tune using harmonics
Where's "How to build a guitar neck, Part 4", or at least pictures of the final product???
Can not sound? Dimebag had harmonics everywhere, explain that...
And then the rarest technique of harmonics...harp harmonics :)
