Now let’s add some normally fretted notes between these harp harmonic notes. I will refer to these normally fretted notesas "true tones" to differentiate them from the harp harmonics.Using the same chord from
FIGURE 1
, start with a true tone on the fourth string, fifth fret (G), then play a harp harmonicon the sixth string, fifth fret (A). If you’re playing harmonics with your thumb, use your middle finger to play the truetone. On the other hand, if you’re playing harmonics with a pick held between your thumb and middle finger (stunningthe strings with your index), then play the true tone with your ring finger. Next, play a true tone on the third string, fifthfret (C), followed by a harp harmonic on the fifth string, fifth fret (D). Then play a true tone on the second string, fifthfret (E), followed by a harp harmonic on the fourth string, fifth fret (G). Finally, play a true tone on the first string (A),followed by a harp harmonic on the third string (C).
continues with harp harmonics on the second and first strings, then it reverses the pattern to descend.
