Step 1
Start at the fifth fret. This is the standard for harmonics, as they only work on certain parts of the fretboard.
-
Step 2
Instead of putting your finger between the frets as you would normally do, place it directly over the fifth fret.
-
Step 3
Keep a very light pressure on the string. Do not press down against the neck.
-
Step 4
Pluck the string with your right hand, and then release your finger pressure on the string. You should hear a light, high note sound. Try it until you think you've heard the harmonic note.
-
Step 5
Try playing harmonics at the seventh, ninth and twelfth frets. These are other areas that can produce harmonic notes.
