1.on this demo on 1:32-33 tomo is using some kind of technique with his right hand while bending from the a note.
can you explain what he does to get that sound - and what is the name of the technique.
2. the chord that tomo does on 3:05 is it Cdim? if so -what is the explanation behind that theory wise...
thank you
1. Pinch harmonic - can be done with either pick or fingers. Lots of video demo of it on youtube but basically, you pluck the string with pick or index then immediately, lightly touch it with the flesh of your thumb.
2. Diminish is still mystery to me. Someone here could probably explain it better. But looking at the video, I'm not sure if he was hitting the D string. If not, then it's a B7... which tends to resolve to E, but also resolves to C because it share some similar notes with E. (In the demo, it looks like he resolved to Em7b5 which when you add the C note on the E string would make it C9).
thank you!
Here is Tomo's comment:
"Thanks so much for subscribing to my Guitar Wisdom. You listened to the details! That was my pinching harmonics. I use my thumb and first finger."
