Natural Harmonics - Beginner Guitar Lesson

Please help support my lessons on Patreon. / guitarlessons365
www.guitarlesso... Click here to check out my Premium Guitar Courses!!!!!
This lesson focuses on the ability to play natural harmonics at the 12th, 7th and 5th frets. Playing a harmonic correctly produces a beautiful bell like sound that is used frequently in all styles of music. It is also very useful for tuning the guitar accurately. We will do 3 exercises then a short etude that uses just harmonics. A FREE PDF download of this lesson is available at www.GuitarLesso.... There you will also find many other FREE video guitar lessons updated daily. My ability to continue these FREE lessons depends entirely on your support at the main site. THANKS!!

Camera is good but also environment is good , there is no background so its easy to focus on him
and lighting is also good for 2009

[@olehsmirnov2472]

not that impressive to me tbh. There were better not too pricey cameras at the time

Thanks for actually explaining what you are showing instead of simply demonstrating it and leaving us to figure out what the hell is going on. Very useful for a raw beginner (me).

Lovely Video clip! Sorry for butting in, I am interested in your opinion. Have you ever tried - Rozardner Stopping Sounds Reality (Sure I saw it on Google)? It is a great one off guide for how to instantly slow down music by software without the hard work. Ive heard some super things about it and my cooworker at very last got amazing success with it.

I love the sound of natural harmonics, on both guitar AND the bass. Especially with a chorus effect, they can sound very expressive and beautiful, and add a lot to a ballad.

[@MatthewPolack]

Excellent job at explaining in detail...for beginners this is much better than someone showing us how they can do it easily...but not actually breaking it down. Great teaching! Well done.

[@alabamahebrew]

10 years later I find your video! I have been trying to learn how to play these natural harmonics for about 3 years now. Not every day of course but from time to time the subject would come up and I would look for a video to show to properly play these darn things. I had basically given up since what the other guys were saying and doing really made no sense, then tonight I was playing along with Def Leppard and their Switch 625 and Steve Clarks hits that natural harmonic on the 4th fret. Normally I just play the Ab and not bother trying to do the harmonic thing he does, but tonight I decided to give it one more shot and look on You Tube and see if there was just one person out there who could make it make sense, and I found your video, literally within 3 minutes I was playing natural harmonics - THANK YOU!!! I see now how "simple" they are to do but the way the other guys were teaching how to play them made no sense to me and I have to say their's even sounded different. Anyway, Im subbing to your channel and thanks again!!

[@Pingu92-x7m]

There is a really strong harmonic on the 19 fret!

[@thedocta_certified]

Its the same ratio as the 7th fret

[@jaredhoeft2832]

Thank you. My actual teacher tried to explain but i didn't get it. I watch your video and got it first try. You are a great teacher for a beginner like me

[@yourmaorigamer6076]

Bruh. You mean to be telling me. The reason all my harmonic attempts (as someone who doesnt really practise that kinda stuff - I just play songs by tabs or watching others play) havent worked.. is because I've automatically assumed or skipped over the part where you actually hold the string OVER THE PROPER FRET! rather then the space between.. no wonder my attempts come out as muted notes.
Dude thanks so much!!! I really needed this video

[@Meteor_pending]

Thanks man, now I finally understand how to play harmonics! The best lesson I've found so far and in HD!

[@naushinq]

I'm new to Natural harmonics and this was really helpful thanks for it :)

[@Peter_1986]

I have noticed that it is a lot easier to tune guitars when I use natural harmonics;
it is much easier to notice if two strings sound out of tune relative to each other when I play natural harmonics on both of those strings.

[@creativ3teories]

really awsome man ;) i was starting to think there was some problem with my strings, i couldn't make it sound any harmonics at all =P
cheers!

[@anthonyrobertson7062]

What you are doing is cutting the string into sections. So if you do it in the middle, the string vibrates in two sections, from the center to each end. If at the quater point, it vibrates in 4 sections, at a pitch that it would be if the string were 4 equal lengths. So you're cutting the string into equal sections of length thus getting much higher pitches. Just saw some comments wondering how it works.
