New Guitar Technique - Bubble Harmonics

[Forest Lemon]

I'm sure many of you saw the article in Guitar World, but this was pretty interesting to me. The technique is definitely different and sounds pretty cool, but I personally don't think I'll attempt to learn or implement it. It's definitely not the coolest looking to implement either. Nonetheless, hats off to this man's skill and creativity.

Introducing bubble harmonics, a new guitar technique inspired by EVH and Alan Gogoll, pioneered by Atlanta guitarist Donn Aaron

Watch Aaron demonstrate the technique in the solo instrumental Star Castle, with no effects besides a little compression and an MXR Phase 90 set at zero

Any videos on how he does it? New techniques are cool even if you never use them.

I'm not aware of any tutorial type videos but he describes it as a combination of EVH and classical guitar tapping and harmonic techniques among others.

"Aaron credits Eddie Van Halen, Alan Gogoll, Yngwie Malmsteen and Itzhak Perlman for showing him the path. But also Craig Goldy of Dio, whose over-handed techniques in his 1986 Starlicks lessons helped Aaron workshop some “unrelated hand-jive.” All these skills were brought to bear on bubble harmonics."

I'm not sure that what I'm seeing matches what I'm hearing.

I get what's going on, I do something similar on an acoustic, but that's a stupid name for it, also, that video is fake as s**t.
