And then we'll finish it out with the D Major Chord. 7th fret here on the 4th string, 3rd string, 2nd string and then back to the 1st string. So we start out with that G Major, third finger here at the 15th fret of the 6th string. Harmonics on the 12th fret of the 4th, 3rd, 2nd string. 12th fret Harmonics here at the 6th, 3rd, 2nd, and 1st strings. A minor chord, 12th fret harmonic on the 5th string. 13th fret 2nd string, 12 fret harmonic at the 1st string back to the 2nd string. And the D Major chord, 7th fret harmonics on the 4th, 3rd, 2nd and back to the 3rd.
Now the finger number is the 12th fret is always the same pitch as the open string whatever note you have the open stringed into, and it's the same for the 5th fret. And then the 7th fret harmonic is the exact same note as the natural note that occurs on the 7th fret.
So remember that as you go forward in constructing your own chords and doing harmonics with open tunings especially can give you very satisfying results. So get to it, that's introduction to the Harmonics.
So let's start with the slide from the 4th fret to the 5th fret on the second string, you can use your third finger then you open first string, and so for harmonics what you want to do is just take your finger third finger across the 12th fret right on top of the fret itself, and you are actually not pushing the strings down.
