💬 Lesson Description

This is a beginner-friendly lesson about guitar harmonics.

First, I explain what harmonics and overtones are.

Then I talk about natural guitar harmonics, what they are, and how to play them.

I also explain artificial harmonics, which are slightly different than natural harmonics.

In the video, I give a few practice exercises for both natural and artificial guitar harmonics.

There are many cool things you can do with harmonics, so at the end, I include a segment about playing the pentatonic scale using only natural harmonics.

I hope you enjoyed this lesson about guitar harmonics and found it beneficial.

Let me know what you thought in the comments.

Thanks! :)
