Natural Harmonics - Beginner Guitar Lesson 

Nobody talking about how for 2009 the camera quality is poppin

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).

I'VE BEEN LEARNING A FEW VAN HALEN SONGS AND THIS EXPLAINS THE HARMONICS VERY NICELY. MANY THANKS.

lesson starts 1:37 12 -7 - 5

Damn can't believe this is 11 years old. I remember watching this in 2011 when i first started playing guitar. 9 years later and im still trying to figure out how to play harmonics lol

It feels like im playing skyrim. "Skill Learned - Harmonics"

Thank you so much Michael, that really makes me feel good. Hope I can continue to help!! Carl.. :)

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.

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.

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!!

There is a really strong harmonic on the 19 fret!

I'm glad you enjoy playing it! I will have more stuff coming soon..Thanks!!

1:02 when she says she's sensitive

Thanks so much! This was super helpful. You actually gave an in-depth explanation and demonstrated how to do it instead of just telling me what it was

almost sounded like sweet child of mine til the end lol

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

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

@MrBaselT Oh definitely, it works on all guitars including acoustics and even bass guitars. :)

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

THANKS BRO. I GOT TO WORK ON THIS A LITTLE MORE.

Thank you so much omg I was watching a polyphia tutorial and I had no idea where the high pitch was coming from skdkfk this was so helpful since it’s the first time I’ve ever heard of harmonics

If only we had 3 hands. 1 for the chord, another for the harmonics, and a third for plucking the string.

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

i wanna know who came up with this technique.....so i can fight them.

it's hard for a drummer to do this!! >

Thank-you so much I like the way u explain things its so easy to understand

Youve just explained Harmonics on guitar absolutely perfect. I can now understand and play them. Ty my friend.

Make an mp3 out of that harmonic étude you made. It's beautiful

Thanks man good lesson on natural harmonics

@sblopez08 Hey thanks for watching! The pickups are a Dimarzio Fast Track 2, Pro Track and Chopper. Cheers! Carl.

Thank you so much for this!! I might be fill-in for a hardcore band that uses these a lot and almost ever used them. its odd having to learn something again , but I knew what video I was looking for and I definitely found it. basic and straight forward ways pf learning them quickly why having fun with the little parts that you made.

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.

Omg! I finally got it!!! Just did my first harmonica EVER thanks to this vid. I’ve tried for weeks!!

Your videos have taught me so much! Thank you so much for being active and helpful (:

Thank you for the video, Im going to start working on harmonics as soon as i get home!

I love this! Got it third try, love that harmonic sound

such a beautiful sound, and now i've made it for the first time. thank you :)

Thanks great, I hope my other lessons can be just as much help to you. Thx for subbing!! Carl.. :)

oh i get it now, ur alot better than the teacher i got now, i actually know what ur talking about, is stead of gawking aimlessly at my guitar :) 5*'s and subscribed xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Excellent tutorial, thanks so much for this, seen some guitarist's do it and really wondered how and this is the way to go! Brilliant.

The music teacher: “You need to do the correct fingering” Me, dirty minded as hell: *Laughing my lungs out*

That sounds beautiful. thanks you sir.

thank you so much!!! finally, did my first harmonic.

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!

i've searched countless videos on this subject and finally, i can do it!! i dunno how you did it, but somehow, you got thu to me!

When he started doing the harmonics I kept thinking of Welcome Home (Sanitarium)

I figured out what I was doing wrong! I had my finger placed in the exact middle of the fret instead of the bar in between both frets!

Thank you soo much! Took me forever to understand how it's possible for a note on the 7th fret to sound higher than a note on the 12th fret

cool...nice to have something else interesting to play around with.

Knowing how to play a harmonic is very important to intonate a guitar. I was doing it wrong until I saw this vid. Thankyou !

Learned a ton in less than nine minutes!

thank you so much this helped me a lot with my self tutoring

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.

I'm literally learning this at 11:30 watching you makes me sleepy lol. Relaxing

1:36 is where it starts

I loved it-thank you so.

Thanks for your time, very good,

finally! Best explanation ever. THANK U!

This is like magic

Still getting "Skilled Learned - Harmonics" in 2019!

This is cool, got here right after I’m confused by your dazed and confused lesson

learned it in the first time itself thank you so much.

Thanks! straight forward very helpful.

Best guitar teacher ever

Loved this tutorial, you helped me a lot...thanks!💕

awesome mark :) can you do a lesson o more advaned natural harmonis? cause i can play some harmonics in other places of the guitar even off the neck close to the pick ups and i would love to know more about them but awesome lesson as always!

@GuitarLessons365 it worked!!

Sounds so good

A good practical song of this is 'Roundabout", by Yes, using harmonics in the intro.

Thanks for the video, it helped a lot

Guys if you like this learn Baracuda - Heart Power chords and harmonics I love it.

Trying to play Suite-Pee

Great!! Glad I could help.. Cliff Burton RIP!!! Carl... :)

The most fascinating thing for me is how the sound remains the same even after taking my fingers off, when playing a fret normally, the note kind of changes if I take my finger off

Thank you so much for this. It was truly helpful.

dude your awesome harmonics are awesome!! nuff said.. thx

great lesson... thank you

wow, that was really helpful! thank you so much :)

got a question. does it work with all guitars? i mean like Squier (by fender)

Great video ! Great explanation !

The best lesson! 😃

Thank you.

Very informative

Thank you

thank you ... love this! :D

Thank you 😅

I notice that 5th, 7th, and 12th fret harmonics are just the note of the open strong at a higher octave, but this doesn’t apply to the 3rd fret and I’m stuck trying to figure out it’s correlation.

Guitar lesson 365 helps again

Great video, although is it just me who started humming the harmonica bit at the beginning of 'On The Road Again' after the first 12th fret harmonic? :-)
