    I really liked your channel and this video. If you need any help getting this video exposed I use a site called tubeviews.(net) It has really helped like 20 of my main videos get to the top in position.

    I like what i watched.

    Even though I can already sweep, I find this video hard to watch simply because he’s playing left-handed. It’s confusing. But for everyone who’s asking: this IS basic. Try doing 6-7 string sweeps that transcend the entire fretboard *cough*Malmsteen, Petrucci*cough*

    I have a question: How do you get that “screech ” sound as he does at 0:25?

    @Slapthestickcomedies
    I’m pretty sure its called a pinch harmonic.

    @cjk100000 do you know how to get that sound?

    @Slapthestickcomedies
    I know a bit. I can make pinch harmonics. You may want to search for videos on youtube. It involves holding the pick really close to the edge, and digging into the string hard (so the thumb immediately mutes after) creating a really high noise.

    Then you need some sound effects since all mine sound like shit. I need a whammy bar.

    Though you really really need to find the videos explaining on youtube, I cannot via text.

    its a pinch harmonic. you pick the note then hit the string with your thumb directly after. there is a suggested way to hold the pick so that your thumb will hit the string al all in the same motion. and you put a little bit of vabrato on the note give it a real good squeel

    an artificial harmonic… see some vids so you learn

    It is easier to do pinch harmonics on some guitars vs others due to resonance, but with practice any guitar can do it. Try the guitars in a local guitar shop, some will scream almost right off the strings ;)

    @fingerblazin ~ adding to what he said, bigger strings and lower tunings usually make for better pinch harmonics too
