For example, if you want to play an artificial harmonic of G on the sixth string you would press in the third fret and catch the harmonic in the 15th fret with the forefinger and the thumb in an instantaneous plucking and removal maneuver. (Added: the thumb needn't be in the same fret where the forefinger is resting. It is almost impossible. Simply pluck and lift off the string instantaneously until the bell-tone sounds.) The exercise takes a good deal of concentrated effort to get the bell-tone ringing clearly. I hope this clarifies your question.<br><b>References : </b><br>Long-time player--52 years of Chet Atkins's style Understanding that classical guitarists do not use thumb picks, I can only recommend by obtaining artificial harmonics is to:
