[@ronjjohnson3569]

Finally someone who explains this technique the right way. Thanks man.

[@redacted1145]

Kinda like a father would 🥰

[@kpoary5307]

Dude wtf I been playing guitar for 10 years and I tried so many times watching videos all over this time and you are the only guy that actually knows how to explain it really simple and now I finally can play false harmonics, kudos man

[@roll4us]

I got a broken bone on my left hand a few years ago. Even today it hurts as hell everytime I use my guitar, but still trying to get better at it, just because of the sake of it. You really helped me through this technique, so thank you so much. You really made my day.

Iomi that u

[@roll4us]

@@quima5844 Nah, random guy from internet

[@Remembering0never]

broke my ring finger of my fretting hand. slowly getting back into it but the finger gets sore relatively quick

[@pizzapocket912]

ok i am def not gonna break my finger now

[@yajakump8252]

I like everytime he says “ what the hell”

[@yoshazarya777]

Me too 😁

[@hitsugayatoshiro2736]

Me too my stomach hurts so much when he said: " FIRST OF ALL WHAT THE HELL IS HARMONICS " hahahaha

[@alexstixx]

Dude, your videos are fantastic. Wish I had this 15 years ago when I was starting. Still learning something from every video. That 12th fret trick is one of the most important fundamentals of guitar IMO, though it requires accurate intonation.

[@divinabasilisco9077]

You're a good guitar teacher.

[@zacallen2520]

Once you mentioned math I ditched my room while the video was playing and went to the park until it was over, then came back afterwards. I graduated high school with this technique, so I should be able to do artificial harmonics anytime now.

[@jezbelga]

Sir, you save life. If I could only like this a million times then I would. You don't know how happy I am for this video. Thank you so much

[@TrevorTowstego]

Very cool and useful technique! I think it's also a good idea to practice plucking the string with a finger other than the thumb so that the thumb is free to pluck the lower strings. You can play some really beautiful things by using your thumb to pluck the bass strings while your other fingers play artificial harmonic melodies! This technique is used in classical guitar a fair amount.

[@masuke10]

Harmonics are like the coolest thing on the guitar in my opinion. So obsessed with learning them.

[@tnedel]

That's just perfect ! Thank you soo much man !

[@berserker4727]

This is amazing and a great way to add another great sound to your playing thanks!

[@acarbonbasedlifeform70]

THANK YOU SO MUCH I've been struggling with articificial harmonics since forever, and you expained them so well I just picked my guitar up and played them Live long and prosper

[@ivannovotny4552]

Thank you Tony for sharing this awesome technique with us.

[@gertvanrooy428]

I've been looking for someone to finally explain this the proper way. Thanks!

[@erickdominguez2052]

i played a pinch harmonic by accident when fooling around with my guitar and since then i been researching like crazy on the internet on how to do it again and here i'am, thank u so much, u couldn't explained it so much better

[@woollybear3328]

Thank you. I was so confused and no one else in other videos was explaining what harmonics actually are but now I finally get it

[@PkorniBoi]

Thank you so much! This was so helpful. Straight to the point, confident performance, didn’t have to rewatch a hundred times. Amazing

[@p.s.h.3913]

Thanks brother, I've been searching for this technique all my life.

Thank you so much for this, you have helped me a ton sir!!!!

[@hometune8235]

exactly what i'm looking for! thankyou man.

[@kevinhaid6211]

It’s so strange to me how every player is so different...most seem to find this video super helpful, I watched it twice over and have absolutely no idea what you’re talking about here for 6 n a half mins 😂...i watched another afterwards where a dude just shows what he does with his hands up close, got it immediately. In any case, the 12th fret trick is the beez-neez, thanks man!

[@melaniewoods]

Woah, just watched Tommy's tune - wow, really awesome, thanks for pointing it out Tony!

[@ujjwalpokharel2697]

It's been like 1-2 years since I wanted to learn the technique. Finally, I am able to know the technique. Thanks man.a

[@MegaNancyLover]

After seeing a handful of your videos, it’s safe to say you are the best guitar instructor on KZbin. You simplify things and talk very eloquently

[@tacguitar]

Thank you for your kind words and for watching :-)

[@Senacesn]

Thank you so much! This saved my life

[@Rag_ab]

[@orabeoni9234]

Thanks man 👍👍👍 Been trying to learn where exactly to pluck everytime I try to do harmonics, and now, I finally found the answer.

[@randomstuff6063]

Wow! Great lesson!

[@theoriginal2404]

i watched your two video on this topic. and i want to thank you a lot

[@TheJumpInTheFire]

THANK YOU so much, I finally understood what to do!

[@cham5256]

he saved me from 5 years of trying to figure this technique out alone. I really appreciate what you've done to the guitar learners. TQ from the bottom of my heart.

[@sebastienfiola2258]

Great explanation taught in a wonderful manner! Thanks alot!

[@brotherosas2170]

MAN! You really helped me... I found this song with a Chord with a "artificial harmonic" down below it, I was hella confused. Took me Like 4 Long vids and still couldn't get until I found your vid, it took me half a minute to Understand how it works Ty!!!

[@KshitizVerma]

Such an insightful lesson, loved it 👏👏

[@jericks06]

Thanks!!! I can finally do it now! This topic was always a big question mark in my mind and I just never really looked into how to do it much.

[@francisguitarworld63]

Excellent explanation. Thank you sir. I learned something today

[@Jess-ip9ep]

Thank you so much, you explained it so well!

[@davidlackey4873]

thank you...my learning curve is wide at times, but i understand now...thanks again!!!

[@KKKkiri]

many thanks for explaining this to me

[@cutiestarlight136]

Thanks man, I really learned a lot from you..

[@raadsharar2194]

An actual working tutorial video!!! Thanks alot!!!

[@melaniewoods]

I love these, been playing around with them for the last few weeks (since watching Mike Dawes...mindblowing) - I discovered through fiddling that the 7th fret harmonic is duplicated at the 19th fret (on my 14 fret Faith and Taylor, don't know if it's the same on 12 fretters...), which is very convenient for the strumming/picking hand, being so close to where it normally is, and the 5th fret harmonics are duplicated a little way over the sound hole, takes a bit of practise to get that one right each time because there's no fret to mark the spot, but it's a really nifty way to add an unexpected harmonic. Fun times 😁

[@tumimbanghymarvannd.8603]

You're the best guitar teacher bro.. Thank you

[@ravendarkspear]

I can't belive It's that easy thank you so much spent about 15mins practicing and it's like I've been doing it for months

[@Tdubya48]

[@maritinavuniwai2594]

Omggg you just earned yourself a new sub......ive learned from different channels and still didnt get it now its easier.....thankss😊👌✋

[@Dovey14]

[@gitarzystaakustycznymidodr9358]

Very good easy way to know ..thanks

[@bryan_che]

you're a good teacher ❤

[@petermcneil4474]

I have watched many videos trying to get this right and you are correct after watching your lesson i started to develop the technique within minutes, ( E B G D ) on the 12 th fret reminded me immediately of harvest moon ( neil young ) thanks for the lesson tony .

[@DC180]

THANK you .... Got it...! need practice now

[@doblvevu]

So glad I found you ✨

[@mercuryiv1776]

Incredibly well explained

[@vat_1989]

You're awesome man

[@metrictensor3197]

I was always intimidated by this technique, but you made it very approachable. Thanks.

[@Emre-lo6fj]

Finally, someone who explains this technique clearly, many many thx,

[@jayarnbert6137]

Excellent video.....thanks buddy

[@cathaljmusic]

Totally awesome bro......

[@imbis1494]

Thank you so much!

[@levitate8085]

You sir are a hero

[@aragog4396]

He guaranteed that i could do it after the end of the video. At first i thought natural and artificial harmonic are the extraordinary techniques for those who mastered the guitar. However, he guaranteed that its possible for me to learn it so early....I gave it a try and it actually worked. Thanks alot man, you are the very first person i saw that explain such technique in the most accurate way! (Ps: Im extremely surprised with the result)

[@ethan2761]

Thank you so much! I couldn't understand the other videos at all.

[@bhagen4292]

Ahhhh.. Tommy and Phil Emmanuel. It was a treat to see those guys live in the 80s. True Guitar masters!

[@adolfoagudelo8462]

Beatifull! Thanks!

[@TheBushden]

Not what I was looking for, but this is pretty cool too, very well explained. 👍🏻

[@ThePrincyBoyGuitar]

Thankewww! Really helped a lot, Mann!! 👍👍

[@ThePrincyBoyGuitar]

Keep doin' this stuff.... 🙌👍

[@anonymousguitarist9096]

Thanks tony

[@veerdhanak3731]

If not the perfect explanation 👏🏻

[@thevirtuoso8362]

Amazing, just amazing

[@keiraraven7877]

Thank you!!!

[@skychimera7631]

holy shit. I am amazed that it's possible to do this. I saw somebody (Sky Guitar) do an artificial harmonic in a video and hadn't heard of that and had to look it up and I'm so impressed and excited to play this. thanks for the tutorial :) :)

[@AndrewPob]

Thank you very much!

[@JakeWilder0]

Thanks, figured this out right away. You can do it from the third and fifth fret harmonics too with the same equation.
