True indeed. On the guitar, the artificial harmonic is created by touching the string in the middle (an octave higher than stopped) with the right hand and plucking simultaneously. Touching a fourth higher makes no sense on the guitar, because the resulting sound would be too soft and quaint, as it's a plucked and not a bowed instrument. Now here's a mean one that throws me off completely: How do you notate the sound often heard by a jazz guitarist that sounds like the basic fretted note and the artificial harmonic together? It is created by striking the note very hard with a pick held between thumb and 1st finger of the right hand and at the same time, touching the string extremely lightly at 1/4 of its way from the bridge with the 3rd finger (takes a lot of balance).
