There are several ways to play
artifical harmonics (octaves).
1) right index finger press lightly on
the string during a downstroke with
thumb.
Index finger should at a 45 degree
angle to the string.
2) bend right thumb (pointing
downwards). Touch string with the
outside of
your thumb (joint to tip) and pluck
upwards with the index finger.
