well....kinda embarrising but i've been playing for 8 years and i still only know the only major type of harmonics..i don't know any advanced ones like the pinched or whammy bar ones....i tried doing whammy bar ones but couldn't get the "whip" down (theres a video on youtube for reference) is there an easier one that i should start off besides the usual harmonics?

Pinch harmonics. Where you pluck the string with the pick and your thumb as well. makes a 'squeel' sound.

Robbie Robertson from The Band used them a lot.

they're hard to get the hang of but some people get them down the first try

There are lots of videos on Youtube that can help with Pinch Harmonics.

I watched that whammy bar harmonic video and I was sitting there thinking it looked so easy. Then, when I tried it, it was so difficult.
