Guitar: Harmonics
Click the video to play and pause, or use the spacebar. Mouse over the score and click to choose matching video and commentary.
Please refer to the "String Length Chart" in the string instruments section for a demonstration of the relationship between the position of harmonics on strings and the resulting pitch. Natural harmonics are created by lightly touching the string at the indicated fret. Harmonics at the 12th fret produce the same pitch as stopped strings at this fret. (Note that the guitar's treble clef indicates pitches an octave lower than standard treble clef.) These are 2nd partial harmonics, an octave above the open strings.
