steve conner	Re: accidental harmonics This sort of thing is usually caused by accidentally touching the string with some part of your picking hand as you pick it. If you hold the plectrum with just a tiny end sticking out between your finger and thumb, you are likely to hit the string with your thumb too. For several years now I've been playing the electric guitar classical style with three fingers and thumb. I only use picks when my fingernails wear out or break off. It's a lot harder to get artificial harmonics now
