JOHN LEE MUSIC INSTRUCTION

Natural Harmonics are “bell-like” pitches which are produced when lightly touching the guitar string at certain frets and striking the string. These high pitched tones are often compared in timbre to a whistle or flute. Natural Harmonics are found mainly on the 5 th , 7 th  and 12 th  frets. On the 5 th  fret, the Harmonics produced are 2 Octaves above the Open string. On the 7 th  fret, they are 1 Octave above the fretted notes. And on the 12 th  fret, the Natural Harmonics are 1 Octave above Open.
