[@steve17]

You can also push on the portion of the strings behind the nut and before the tuners to achieve a vibrato effect. It can sound very cool and also works with harmonics.

[@saywhat4314]

8:35 never thought this technique sounded good. But you can go past the nut and slightly press all the strings down to get a similar effect without the risk.

[@tw8245]

I mean what risk really is there. There is over 115 pounds of pressure on a guitar neck at all times. A little push isn't doing much.

[@zeyy84]

I figured this out once when I pressed too hard and it went out of tune. I thought it would be a cool way to do a vibrato

[@indigotheindieghost7214]

Wow these tips were so much more substantial than I expected them to be! Also, “air tapping” harmonics like Erik Mongrain, bending a string above the nut, percussive techniques on an acoustic, tuning a ringing note via tuning pegs, and honestly picking location to affect timbre (so few people seem to realize how big of a difference there is between picking at the bridge and half way up the neck) are a few other ones I use. Never seen the koto trick though! Sounds so beautiful.

I end the Beatles "Oh Darling" with a vibrato neck bend to stimulate a slightly warped album. (33 1/3 Bends PM) 😉 I just checked... While the original has some reverb at the end I don't really hear vibrato. Since I started adding that from the very first time I played Oh Darling, I'm guessing the album my sister had when I was 8... in the early sixties... was warped. I have always heard it that way. So... Is there a bend at the end on that song that I'm missing? Or were the Beatles selling bent albums?

“Harp harmonics” at 5:34 are usually known as artificial harmonics, especially in the classical community of guitar playing.

Jake Ellison what he calls harp harmonica are actually usually called touch harmonics. Artificial harmonics are pinch harmonics

[@jakeellison5008]

Juan Villanueva No, pinch harmonics are pinch harmonics. Touch harmonic is another name for artificial.

Artificial Harmonics is the umbrella, Pinch, Harp, and Touch harmonics are all very slight variations of this technique that fall under that umbrella.

I just figured out a cool technique that I've been using for a song I'm doing and I don't think anyone has ever done it. It's called a harmonic tap. So basically you pick a note and then pressing the 12th fret after to activate the harmonic making a cool sound. Acoustic is fine but I think classical is better cause it's more longer to hear the harmonic

[@schmonday]

If you're just doing octave harmonics, you can just tap the harmonics for faster playing. The articulation is almost identical, especially at faster tempos. Also, for harmonic bending, you don't need to push on the head stock. If you're not using a capo or locking nut, you can just press the string behind the nut to bend harmonics or fret immediately after sounding the harmonic for normal vibrato manipulation, though the latter would be extremely tough when playing multiple strings.
