DIRECT QUOTE FROM ONE OF MY ERALIER ANSWERS IN THE THEORY SECTION, BUT OH WELL.
best advice i can give you is my advice as to how to do a pitch harmonic ( just a thought, most times, they sound REALLY good with alot of gain.
1. first would be the pick. you're going to want to bite down on the pic with your fingers so that there's just barely little more than the tip of the pic poking out from your fingers.
2. when you have a good note fretted, you're going to want to hit the "sweet spot" or " node" as mentioned earlier, that will ring the harmonic. if you use a dual- humbucking guitar, this is usually about in the middle of both pickups. if that doesn't work, try near the middle of the neck humbucker.
3. when you pick it, you have to quickly tap the string with the edge of your thumb which stops the initial note's ring, but leaves the harmonic to ring. usually, the pinch harmonic won't have much sound to it, so add a little vibrato, and your note will really sing.
4. just an after note, this works best with your 3rd (g in standard) and 4th (d in standard) strings.

YouTube is a great source for videos.
As youtube videos did not help me, it takes practice.
It took me awhile, I kept trying until I got a small squeal from it. Then from there on I kept trying. Now I finally got it pretty good. Even though my fingers were sore as hell I finally got them down.
