Can you also play them by fretting with the left hand (as usual) but then just tapping the fret with the right hand? For example, fret F, then play a high F and the 13th fret by tapping the fret (not in between the frets)?

You most certainly can. That's the first kind of artificial harmonic I learned how to do. It's quite simple once you get the mechanics to do it, down. You tap above the desired fret, pushing it down just so slightly. (not enough to touch the fret) Practice that a bit and it will come to you very easy. (It's very nice, because you can belt off false harmonics very fast)

Yea it's the only way I play artificial harmonics. I can't get the hang of the "Jaco" way. Oh well I do fine with tapping them.

Wicked, that makes it so much easier.


Cheers you guys.
