=== Flicked and struck harmonics ===
Some players, such as [[Dimebag Darrell]], used a less common technique to play natural harmonics. His variation consists of "flicking the string, dumping the [<nowiki/>[[Whammy bar|whammy]]] bar (...), [making] the string kinda flap, and just tap a harmonic"<ref>{{Cite AV media |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4P6GKRJ8s6k |title=Dimebag's Squeals Lesson |date=2021-09-10 |last=Overdrive |access-date=2025-06-18 |via=YouTube}}</ref> on the corresponding
[[Mattias Eklundh]] has a similar technique, but it does not require flicking the string first. Instead, he uses his middle finger to strike the string on any nodal point, hard enough to make the string ring but without letting the finger press down on the fretboard.<ref>{{Cite AV media |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m7yxQU36w3c |title=Harmonics #2 - Mattias Eklundh Guitar Lesson |date=2014-05-07 |last=Musicoff - Where Music Matters |access-date=2025-06-18 |via=YouTube}}</ref> The vibrato bar can be used in a similar way Dimebag used it, making it easier to make the harmonics ring, but it is not required. Eklundh also frequently uses such harmonics in combination with normal notes, allowing him to use them in a more musical way.<ref>{{Cite AV media |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j3Auie2Oq6c |title=Harmonics #3 - Mattias Eklundh Guitar Lesson |date=2014-04-10 |last=Musicoff - Where Music Matters |access-date=2025-06-18 |via=YouTube}}</ref>
