Home  Whinchester Chimes - 3 o'clock  Printer Friendly   TAB explained

Play this tune using harmonics. These occur naturally at frets with dot position markers e.g. 3, 5, 7, 9, 12. Try at first holding your finger lightly on any string exactly over fret 12, the easiest place to achieve the effect. Play the string, immediately remove finger and hear a chime/bell like harmonic tone. This may require practice to achieve. The string remains calm at the fret and vibrates either side thus creating an alternative tone. Then try the TAB below to play the Whinchester Chimes as if it were a clock.
