Try increasing the gain on the distortion and using the bridge pickup. This is key and will probably get you 10 out of 99 easy

Pinch Harmonics are hard for some people pick up on it fast some takes forever nothing wrong and maybe it fou have a decent amp you crank the gain up maybe the mods I think highs and treble but you still need to learn I wish I could explain it but you have to just do it but still learn on KZbin the hardest one is harmonics on the Low E string I been playing for 4 years and can’t do that one practice songs that have harmonics like bring me to life taught me a little about how to do harmonics oh maybe add some vibrato helps and last have fun I know i typed a lot but maybe this can help you hope I didn’t waste your time oh btw this song is in Drop B unfortunately

[@knightfromjupiter]

@@CrossFadeismyfavorite hey thank you for your comment! Since when I wrote mine I think I learned a lot, it helps to have good pickups (for example active EMGs) and I think the distance from the pickups to the strings is also important, if they are close the output is higher and harmonics hit harder. Check out my channel if you want to see a couple Trivium covers. Thank you!
