Hi mrob,
I just wanted to thank you for your extraordinarily helpful comment about harmonics in music. I've been playing guitar for about 30 years and make regular use of harmonics in my playing (and tuning), but when a nonmusical friend recently asked me to explain why those sounds were so different when lightly touching strings above the 5th, 7th and 12th frets, I had little to offer by way of a coherent explanation. Favorited and bookmarked / added to my PKM. Have a great day and thank you for such a great comment! You're a great example of what makes HN such an awesome community.
