Harmonic at 3.2 !!!???

[JohnJumper]

After finishing "Cliffs of Dover" I started my next project which is Steve Vai's "Juice". I have worked my way through to measure 64 and it has a harmonic on the B-String notated on the tab as being fingered at fret "3.2". It is not a typo because it is noted up on the staff as "H3.2". What the heck does that mean??

It means that there is a harmonic that is located just pasted the third fret, so it is notated as 3.2. 3.2 is the half way point between the 7th fret harmonic and the nut, so there is a harmonic there that has twice the frequency of the B string seventh fret harmonic. Im pretty sure that it ends up being about the same pitch as the high F# on your high e string.
Hope this helps :)

You don't want to hear that yet. Since I got the whole thing memorized I have been playing it every day trying to clean it up and speed it up and it still sounds herky jerky. It is going to be a while before I want to put it out for all to hear.
