Yeah, I've heard them, and I know that there are different types... but how do you perform them? Something to do with lightly pressing the strings, I think. sweatdrop I don't have patience for tutorial sites, and I'm self-taught.

Touch the string very lightly (finger makes contact with the string, but not pressing it down) at the 12th fret, the pluck the string. Hear that? Now try it on other frets, and find the ones where harmonics pop out easily.
There ya go.

If you're talking about Natural Harmonics you lay your finger over the fret with out actually pressing the string down. The natural harmonics are at the 5th, 7th, 12th, 17th, 19th, and 24th frets. But those will move if you are using your left hand to hold down a string at the lower end. Example: you hold the low E at the second fret, now all those natural hamonics have moved up by two so they would now be 7th, 9th, 14th, ect...
And no you don't need three hands to do that. you just hold down the fret with your left hand and strike with your right like normal, but then quickly, with your right, lightly touch that Natural hormonic spot. Try it- it's pretty sick if you do as you bend. smile

Natural harmonics are as Zlad and Raider83 said lightly touch the string over each fret.
False harmonics are like if you hit an open note and touch the 12 fret of that string lightly you will get a higher version of that. It works anywhere up to the 12 fret if you have a 24 fret guitar , just hit a note and tap 12 frets above the note and you will get a higher version of the same note.
Now pinched harmonics are the hard ones to explain and you may have to go to youtube to figure this one out but i'll try to explain. First hold your pick so there is only maybe 3mm showing (it takes getting used to but it's the only way) now when you hit a note you have to touch the string with your thumb directly afterward. It helps if you pick from the wrist.. pick with a flick of your wrist instead of using your arm. Again its much easier to learn pinched harmonics on youtube. Hope that helped

dont forget to let your finger off the string when it sounds.

It's a neat idea, but I think I would rather have my open notes over the harmonic notes. I could only see this being useful for studio projects.

True, but if u suck at them, the capo sounds like a great tool.
