Paul Bollenback uses false harmonics in this unique soloing technique. This short power course will bring a unique sound to your solos. False harmonics are a technique used on the guitar where the player lightly touches a string at a specific point (usually 12 frets above the fretted note) while simultaneously fretting the note at a lower fret. This creates a harmonic note that is an octave higher than the fretted note. It is called "false" because it is not a true harmonic (created by plucking a string at a specific point) but rather an artificial one created by the combination of the fretted note and the touched note. It can take some practice to get the technique down, but once mastered it can add a unique and interesting sound to the guitar.

About the instructor

Paul Bollenback →

Paul Bollenback is not only a masterful performer, but a down-to-earth instructor. His approach to jazz is both inspiring yet attainable. Guitar master George Benson, a long-time supporter, has described Bollenback’s work as ". . .bona-fide playing, unambiguous, up-front and powerful," calling him “a versatile dynamo on guitar. His approach to jazz and blues has a uniqueness unto itself . . ..”. That comment has special resonance in that Bollenback counts Benson high among his wide range of influences; these also include Carlos Santana, Wes Montgomery, Kenny Burrell, John McLaughlin, Johnny Winter, and Jimi Hendrix (among guitarists), as well as such giants of improvisation and composition as pianists Herbie Hancock and Bill Evans, and saxophonists Wayne Shorter and John Coltrane.
