Multiple Harmonics

NEvans

I was wondering if anyone has watched the Bireli Live in Paris DVD and knows how he does the thing where he plays several artificial harmonics at the same time, like a little chord. I don't know in what songs he uses it, and I'm not near my DVD player so I can't check. I worked out a way to possibly do it, but it doesn't work very well. I tried using my thumb and first finger to press the string an octave up from where I'm fretting and using one of the remaining fingers to brush the string (or some variation of that fingering depending on how I'm hiding my pick). Its not very effective.

NEvans,

I talk about this on my own site:

However, I don't think Biréli plays two harmonics at the same time excepted if a chord is fretted at the left hand and the index of the right hand hits the strings 12 frets above following the chords structure, and letting the strings ring of course. The more notes on the same frets, the easier it gets, like with Am7 for instance.
