Uh, I don't think they can be bent... By definition, you don't fret a harmonic. In fact, your finger doesn't stay on the string, otherwise you'd mute it. I don't see it happening short of doing a Tim Reynolds-esque neck bend.

Well, I remember reading somewhere in the L@LC tab book about a harmonic being bent. I might be wrong though.

if you have an electric geetar with a whammy bar you could, but as far as using a finger to "bend" a harmonic i don't see how it could be done. maybe with a pedal on an acoustic...if it's in the lalc book about a harmonic bend then it's probably tim using a pedal.

here's what you do (hard to explain) you hit the harmonic, then you take your finger, and push down between where the string is attached on the head and the beginning of the neck... the part of the string that doesnt have any frets below it on the head. Don't push down too hard or you'll pop the string if you do it too much. but that's how you do it.
