Amazing! I always thought he used a Digitech Whammy for that. It's a bit too blurry to see what he does exactly.

I feel the need for a Floyd equipped guitar.

HAHAHA! GETCHA PULL OFF THAT shite! What a line. I want a guitar with a floyd now :P Cheers for the link

Edit, been trying these on my old strat copy, hard to get right! Do you just hover your finger over the frets like a normal natural harmonic, or tap on the frets?

Stupid cheap strat...
I cant do them right now, they dont look easy. Maybe i should think about getting the guitar in my pic, maybe that will help. :twisted:

i can do the main bit of actually pulling off and getting the harmonic thats easy, but as i have no trem i cant do the bending/wailing bit. i dont really get what you have to do with the trem anyway???

tom you just hover your finger over, putting a tiny bit of pressure on the string when its vibrating... the more you twang the string with the pull off the easier it is...

Ah I didnt know if it was different to a natural harmonic or what. As for the whammy bar, I think you depress it when you do the pull off then bring it back up when you've done the harmonic bit (then give it a massive wiggle for added coolness 8) )

Hahah yeah I'm gonna have a go on my mates SG extreme thing doin em, should be fun.

Edit - those touch harmonics are bloody cool aswell! Pre bend on 3rd fret g string, pluck string, touch harmonic on 15th fret, release bend! Ooh its harmonic goodness :twisted:

awwww man that video upsets me i hate seeing him he's like one of my biggest hero's.. makes me sickend what happend to the man.

I haven't seen the video, but I assume it's the trick where you drop the bar, play a 4th fret harmonic on the G string and then yank the bar up to make it squeal?

Ages ago when I had a Dean ML (was a BIG Dimebag fan years ago) I read a magazine interview with him where he was talking about how he did all these weird effects.

I learned them all :lol:

1 of my old favourites was to play the 5th fret harmonics on the G, B and E at the same time, dive these with the bar and the do the G string 4th fret harmonic squeal on the way back up :D
