Apologies if this has been mentioned before in the thread, as I have just looked in for the first time.

I understand from reading on the net in the past regarding the Harmonics on a guitar, that the string vibrates in different sections along its length when plucked.

So my understanding is (could well be wrong that the Harmonics for a C note would be E and G)

So just wondering for anyone here who has gone into the very technical side of things, does that mean that when you pluck for example the C on the third fret of the fifth string on a guitar that the C is sounded, but in fact the E and G are played Harmonic wise as well but we don't really hear those Harmonic Overtones due to the loudness of the fundamental C note?

If the above is correct wouldn't that be a good way of understanding why the chord of C major with its C E and G sound so nice together?

Or am I totally wrong here?
