Full explanation for the harmonics probably too long for YouTube comments. The short answer is that harmonics are about fractions of your scale length and that they only care about the distance to the nearest "anchor" point, either the nut or the bridge. The 3rd, 4th, and 5th frets are roughly 1/6, 1/5, and 1/4 of your scale length away from the nut. Fractions with larger denominators correspond to higher notes. You can find the exact same harmonics the same distances away from the bridge.

Great song by one of the greatest teachers in Youtube. Just the right words, the right notes, the right time. No bullsh1t here.

I just love the way you teach, so easy to understand, I would LOVE, if you could do like an acoustic lesson for Only Happy When It Rains By Garbage, I would be forever grateful

I wish when I was young i had youtube and a teacher like you. You're are if not the best one of these best guitar YouTubers out. Mad props to you. I remember being 14 and I found a neighbor's tab book and learned to play the cords for Free bird and the white room by Clapton. I would love to see you teach On the Hunt by skynerd!

This song was the first one I learned back in the nineties where i actually managed to produce harmonics. It was incredibly satisfying. I was so into the pumpkins it hurt. Good times!
