Pinch harmonic

Summary

• A pinch harmonic is a guitar technique in which the nail or thumb slightly catches the string after it is picked, creating a high pitched sound in any position. This technique is most widely used in heavy metal and rock music where heavy distortion ensures that the quiet overtones produced are greatly amplified for a high screaming wail.
