- E|---------9-8-7-6--|How to do False Harmonics in Steps:
- 1. Place your index finger underneath the string as if you were going to do a pop.2. Place your thumb an estimated 12 frets in front of your left hand position on the fretboard for an one octive false harmonic, 24 for a two octive false harmonic.
- 3. Pull up your index finger and thumb simultaneously and gently. If done correctly, you will have done a false harmonic.
