Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Harmonics kind of sound like feedback if you play them with a bunch of distortion

Basically it's when the string vibrates in a certain way it makes a higher pitched noise!.

There are a few way to play harmonics!. If you want to make your guitar squeel you need to pick them differently

But for Dead Or Alive you just need to VERY SOFTLY lay your finger on top of the fret it tells you and then pick!.!.!. The 12th and 5th frets are the easiest harmonics to get like this Www@QuestionHome@Com

place your finger lightly on the string directly above the fret!. Www@QuestionHome@Com
