The Harmonic Squeal, A derivative of the dive bomb
One technique derived from the dive bomb is known as the "harmonic squeal", made famous by Dimebag Darrell of the heavy metal groups Pantera and Damageplan.
How it is done.
One way to find the harmonic is to strike the string and lightly move your finger up or down the fretboard until the harmonic sounds. Then simply strike that note, depress the tremolo bar and lightly touch the string to sound the harmonic and then use the tremolo bar to manipulate the sound.
