I'm just curious, I can never get any of my harmonics above barely a whisper. Does Reynolds have some kind of pickup for his harmonic parts, because they just seem loud as hell compared to anything I've ever been able to do.

Thanks, I'll just sit down and give it another go. It's an under utilized thingy, those harmonics...

Well.........the ones that are used the most are over the 12th, 7th, and 5th.......but they're also over the 19th (which is the same as the 7th....I think....I can't remember right now).

i found a website some time ago when i was looking around for artificial harmonics that had a picture of a fretboard mapped out with all the reasonable harmonic spots on the it. just search on google or something for it, it's really really helpful!

i beg to differ the "no matter what guitar" statement, ive played some shit acoustics where the inntonation was out and it dampened the decibal and ring of the harmonics.
but yeah, make sure your not the problem first and foremost, lol

I recommend spending some time just practising getting a good sound on your harmonics. And be sure to put your finger right above the fret line, no one ever told me that, so I could never figure out why they sounded good sometimes but not other times.
No matter what type of guitar you're using you should be able to still get a decent sound out of it.

He is playing a MARTIN which are known for loud harmonics, that may be it, or maybe he swells his volume pedal when he plays harms, to louden them... im not quite sure, the harmonics on my martin are as loud as every other note... so i dont know what to tell ya,
