Anybody know what the frets are to play harmonics on?
I know 12th and 15th right?

Also, the harmonics works by dividing the string into "smaller strings"(can't find a better way to describe it) so you can find these harmonics on upper frets.

As you can see, lots of places on the fretboard have valid positions to sound notes using harmonics. It's true that some ring out better than the others. Understanding that as well as perfecting the use of less prominent harmonics is just a matter of experience.
