Guitar Question

[1/2stepDown]

Hey BigErn72
It's called "pinch harmonics" when you get that squeal you're talking about. When you strike a string, you lightly touch part of your hand, thumb, guitarpick or whatever against the vibrating string.
You can do it on any guitar(or string instrument) and it's really good to practice without too much distortion(or gain) 'till you get it down.
Listen to ZZTop's "LaGrange" for great pinch harmonics also.

Thanks 1/2 step I'll try that.

yeah, just graze the string slightly with your thumb as you pick. But you have to find the "hot spot" on each string in order for them to ring out loud and true. I also find that it's way easier to get these to squeel when you're using a good amount of distortion, i.e. on a lead passage with my tubescreamer pushing my tubes pretty hard.

I don't play a Les Paul, but I know some of you here do. I was recently listening to Far Behind and there's a part in the solo, it's a high pitch, squeal almost that sounds really cool I know it's in other songs as well, but it kind of stood out more on Far Behind. Does anyone how that's done? Is it the guitar, pedals etc..?
