Talk:Guitar harmonics

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

==This article is RIGHT

I agree. I changed the "other techniques" section to "harp harmonics" and moved the section up towards the middle of the page, before the 3rd bridge section. I did so because harp harmonics are like natural, pinch, and tapped harmonics in that they can be performed on any fretted instrument, whereas the 3rd Bridge device is its own instrument.

1) "Guitar harmonics are fun sounds to produce" --> Very encyclopedic!

2) "Pinch harmonics: Also known as Artificial Harmonics" --> WHAAAAAAAAA? It doesn't take a guitar expert to know that pinch (or pick) harmonics and artificial (or false) harmonics are two totally different things. And I don't see the need for capitalization

3) "This is an advanced technique and was popularized by [...] Zakk Wylde" --> EHHHHHHHH? Advanced? Popularized by Zakk Wylde?! Was the guitar also popularized by Zakk Wylde?

This article needs to be rewritten by someone who can at least distinguish a guitar from a dog. F15x28 05:31, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

4)References to natural harmonic songs need to be added —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 82.12.194.82 (talk) 10:45, 24 February 2007 (UTC).

I believe the technical term for "harp harmonics" is "artificial harmonics". And the "3rd Bridge" section is absolutely ridiculous. It doesn't belong in this article -- it seems like an advertisement. A real guitarist needs to rewrite this article from scratch... it really blows! Winky the tinkler 06:15, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, "artificial" harmonics have been around a long time, used in classical and flamenco guitar. There should be some sort of source for that. (JM)

[edit] Source warning

I put up an Unreferenced warning since this article also seems to have major copyvio (or at least informal writing) issues. Ianthegecko 17:22, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Not formatted like an encyclopedia

I don't know how to put up a "not formatted like an encyclopedia" sign and I think someone should put one or format this article properly.

[edit] Cleanup Aug 2007

I have ascertained that this article was very likely transplanted here from a Wikibook [mis]"instruction" manual. I've excised most of the dodgy material allowing future editors to rebuild as required. I think a facsimile of F Sor's study in harmonics from Op29 would be a welcome addition, I'll see what I can do. RichardJ Christie 01:37, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
