how do you pinch??

i try pinching, and i fail miserably. what's an easier way to do it?

What i do when I'm playing is when i go for the pinch i will pick the note and in the same motion will turn my hand slighly out from the body of the guitar to allow my thumb to touch the string just as the note has bee plucked and this results in a squeal. But i might actually do it differently when I'm playing faster, I've never really pay attention at faster speeds. But I also have a grip fairly low on the pick whe i play this lessens the distance your thumb has to travel to come in contact with the string. Hope this helps.

alright i'll try that! thanks zeb!

There are many helpful videos on youtube. What I do: Have only a tiny bit of the pick protruding, and basically try to hit the string with the pick and the thumb at the same time.

Put your gain on 11 just to start off

edit: also, angle of the pick can help. Usually have the pick protruding 90 degrees from the them, but maybe a bit higher (I don't know how to explain this, I hope I made sense). And try picking the string from different angles. (read previous brackets)

+1 on pick placement Justhit it in passing cause if you touch it too hard you will deaden the string completely. Fluid movement is what you need there.

oh and try hitting different places on the string. Every fret has a different sweet spot. Some are near the neck, some are near the bridge, some near pick-ups etc.

Dimebag was master of this.
